Probabilistic Quantification of Airspace Resilience

The resilience of the Air Traffic Management (ATM) system to disturbances is required to maintain high operation performance. Before it can be improved, the resilience of the ATM system must be quantified. The measurement of resilience requires knowledge of a system reference state. This thesis proposes a novel methodology to detect disruptions...

Design of an Ecological Flow-based Interface for 4D Trajectory Management in Air Traffic Control

The concept of Trajectory Based Operations as proposed by the SESAR and NextGen projects seeks to enhance efficiency and increase airspace capacity by the explicit use of time as the control variable. Nevertheless, the Air Traffic Control system has too many unforeseen events to make it entirely automatic, and adequate decision-support tools...
