Ribeiro, M.J. (author)Increasing delays and congestion reported in many aviation sectors indicate that the current centralised operational model is rapidly approaching saturation levels. Air Traffic Control (ATC) system is not expected to keep pace with the ever-increasing demand for air transportation. Its capacity is still limited by the available controllers, and...doctoral thesis 2023

Groot, D.J. (author), Ribeiro, M.J. (author), Ellerbroek, J. (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)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...conference paper 2022

Ribeiro, M.J. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Future operations involving drones are expected to result in traffic densities that are orders of magnitude higher than any observed in manned aviation. Current geometric conflict resolution (CR) methods have proven to be very efficient at relatively moderate densities. However, at higher densities, performance is hindered by the...journal article 2022

Ribeiro, M.J. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Current predictions on future drone operations estimate that traffic density orders of magnitude will be higher than any observed in manned aviation. Such densities redirect the focus towards elements that can decrease conflict rate and severity, with special emphasis on airspace structures, an element that has been overlooked within...journal article 2022

Ribeiro, M.J. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Current predictions for future operations with drones estimate traffic densities orders of magnitude higher than any observed in manned aviation. Such densities call for further research and innovation, in particular, into conflict detection and resolution without the need for human intervention. The layered airspace concept, where aircraft...journal article 2022

Ribeiro, M.J. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Current investigations into urban aerial mobility, as well as the continuing growth of global air transportation, have renewed interest in conflict detection and resolution (CD&R) methods. The use of drones for applications such as package delivery, would result in traffic densities that are orders of magnitude higher than those currently...journal article 2021

Jacobse, Ruben (author)The maximum workload for air traffic control officers is a key constraint on the capacity of the airspace system. In the free flight concept air traffic control is removed and aircraft themselves take over its responsibilities. The Modified Voltage Potential (MVP) algorithm is an implementation of this concept. However, its use in the presence...master thesis 2020

Schaberg, Wouter (author)In an effort to increase airspace capacity, new methods for the decentralization of air traffic control have been a topic for research since the early nineties. The Modified Voltage Potential is a method to provide decentralized conflict detection and resolution. Through this method, aircraft can fly direct routes while resolving conflicts in a...master thesis 2020

Ribeiro, M.J. (author), Ellerbroek, J. (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)The use of drones for applications such as package delivery, in an urban setting, would result in traffic densities that are orders of magnitude higher than any observed in manned aviation. Such densities not only make automated conflict detection and resolution a necessity, but it will also force a reevaluation of aspects such as centralised vs...conference paper 2020

Sunil, E. (author)The current system of Air Traffic Control (ATC) relies on a centralized control architecture. At its core, this system is heavily dependent on manual intervention by human Air Traffic Controllers (ATCos) to ensure safe operations. The capacity of this system is, therefore, closely tied to the maximum workload that can be tolerated by ATCos....doctoral thesis 2019

Analysis of Conflict Resolution Methods for Manned and Unmanned Aviation Using Fast-Time SimulationsRibeiro, M.J. (author), Ellerbroek, J. (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)In the coming years, aviation will have to cope with an increase in the number of aircraft, and of drones purchased in the open market. The human intervention of Air Traffic Management (ATM) will be overburden with guaranteeing flight safety with hundreds of manned aircraft and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) operating simultaneously. Conflict...conference paper 2019

Scholtes, Anouk (author)In an effort to accommodate the increasing air traffic demand, research is conducted to increase future airspace capacity. In addition to the growing demand, new forms of air transport are entering the market.

Sunil, E. (author), Þórđarson, Olafur (author), Ellerbroek, J. (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Decentralized en-route airspace concepts have been proposed by many studies to increase airspace safety and capacity. Most of these studies, including our own forays into this domain, have used fast-time simulation experiments to explore the benefits offered by decentralization.

Balasooriyan, Suthes (author)Currently, Air Traffic Control is responsible for the separation of air traffic in our limited airspace. To facilitate the continuing growth of air traffic, an ambitious plan is to give the responsibility of the separation task to the pilots of the aircraft. The behavior of existing conflict resolution methods within this decentralized approach...master thesis 2017

Sunil, E. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author), Maas, J.B. (author)In the context of decentralized separation, airspace stability pertains to the propagation of con?ict chain reactions as a result of tactical con?ict resolution maneuvers. This notion of airspace stability has been used in previous literature to develop a semi-empirical method for determining the capacity of a decentralized direct-routing...conference paper 2017
