The application of automatic speech recognition in the air traffic control domain has been researched extensively. However, its primary application remains in the training and simulation of air traffic controllers. This is due to the insufficient performance of automatic speech recognition in specific environments, such as air traffic control,...

The emissions of the transport sector inside the EU-27 have risen by 33 % between 1990 and 2019. A modal shift from unsustainable transport towards more environmentally friendly transport modes can be taken as one solution to mitigate the overall emission of the transport sector. In this paper, multiple open-source models and databases are...

Air Traffic Control (ATC) is tasked with ensuring safe separation between aircraft in a given Controlled Traffic Region (CTR). To achieve this an Air Traffic Controller (ATCo) verbally gives clearances using over the air communication. These clearances are kept track of by the ATCo using so-called ‘flight-strips’, which in modern systems are...

Passenger transportation in Europe is often duplicated using modes of transportation which are environmentally inefficient. Quantifying the carbon dioxide emission inefficiencies of flights versus transit is beneficial to understand the potential savings of a modal shift. In this paper, we analyze the emissions in Europe from multi-stop flights...

Charting hyperlocal wind using a drone is a challenge of increased attention as it unlocks potential in a variety of fields. In context of the METeo Sensors In the Sky project, this study proposes a method to estimate the magnitude and direction of wind using a quadcopter in hover and cruise without a dedicated wind sensor. Only on-board sensors...

Wind estimation plays an important role in many aspects of our world, both for nowcasting and forecasting. This is also true for aircraft flight routes; where wind field knowledge can contribute to flight planning and safety. Aircraft can relay flight information back to ground-based receivers, from which local wind measurements can be derived....

The aviation industry faces the challenge of reducing its climate eects. This paper aims to determine whether optimizing flight trajectories can reduce the environmental impact of aircraft during the climb and descent phases. It addresses the research gap in sustainable flight trajectory optimization by combining state-of-the-art research on...

Rodriguez Plaza, Eneko (author)
The expected growth of civil air traffic and the inclusion of advanced systems in the Royal Netherlands Air Force result in more demanding airspace requirements across all users, making this a scarce resource. To optimise its usage, military airspaces in Amsterdam Flight Information Region are used as Flexible Use of...

Vlaskin, Sasha (author)
The consumer drone sector is expected to grow rapidly in the coming decades. In Europe alone, it is predicted that in excess of seven million such machines will be flying by 2050. This poses a risk of conflict in dense airspaces, with both aircraft and other drones. Such a growing market provides a need to make drones visible to ATC and other...

Urbanization is a worldwide trend that drives an immense increase in air traffic demand. The worldwide aviation network makes global business possible which generates economic growth, creates jobs and facilitates international tourism and trade. Many of the world's transport hubs like The Greater London Area have allocated this demand over...

Nyessen, Nino (author)
In an effort to increase the operational efficiency in the North Atlantic region, the benefits of a decentralized, wind-optimal routing structure are researched. Such a routing structure allows for direct routing by optimizing trajectories on the individual level. Implementing a tactical conflict detection and resolution method eliminates the...

Current estimates show that the presence of unmanned aviation is likely to grow exponentially over the course of the next decades. Even with the more conservative estimates, these expected high traffic densities require a re-evaluation of the airspace structure to ensure safe and efficient operations. One structure that scored high on both the...

Aviation has a negative impact on the environment. As the number of flights is expected to increase, the total environmental impact of aviation will continue to worsen. New solutions are required to mitigate these effects. Aircraft Trajectory Optimization For Environmental Impact (TOFEI) can help reduce the impact of aircraft pollutants while...

Overkamp, Jean-Luc (author)
Accurate 4D trajectory predictions are required for the implementation of Trajectory Based Operations. In addition, decentralized, free routing can make medium- to long-term flight trajectories more difficult to predict. Novel trajectory prediction techniques are needed, independent of waypoint-to-waypoint navigation and air traffic control...

Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) is an operational enhancement as part of next-generation air transportation systems in Air Traffic Control. It enables aircraft and airport vehicles to periodically broadcast the information from their on-board equipment, like their identification, GPS location, velocity, and intent. Compared...

This research presents the derivation, implementation and safety assessment of a velocity obstacle- based conflict resolution method to be used by UAVs flying within a horizontally restricted airspace by a geofence under the presence of wind. Two parameters indicating the safety of the applied conflict resolution method have been measured, i.e.,...

Continuous Climb Operations aim at improving the efficiency of a flight's climb phase by reducing the number of level-offs. The associated fuel-benefits help airlines and airports to comply with future emission demands, rising fuel prices and modernizing airspace requirements. Previously, most studies in this field only considered the effect of...

We propose a novel method to deal with the scale ambiguity in monocular SLAM based on control stability. We analytically show that (1) using unscaled state feedback from monocular SLAM for control can lead to system instability, and (2) there is a unique linear relationship between the absolute scale of the SLAM system and the control gain at...
