To accommodate the rising demand for airport resources and airspace capacity, a more efficient and robust orchestration of the components that facilitate air travel is required than is the case today. Over recent years, camera systems for automatic identification of ground-handli ...
A novel security checkpoint concept has been proposed to address the continuing growth in passenger traffic that airports are experiencing globally. The new security checkpoint intends to employ Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) instead of conveyor belts for baggage tray transport ...
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) has seen remarkable growth over the past decade, especially considering the delivery of goods. Notably, the delivery of medical supplies via Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has emerged as a promising application, which is driven by its societal benefits a ...
As an alternative to kerosene (Jet-A1), green hydrogen is considered a potential solution to reduce the environmental impact of the medium-range aviation industry. While the technical feasibility of liquid hydrogen (LH2)-powered aircraft is already being researched and demonstrat ...
The Dutch healthcare sector wrestles with rising costs, staff shortages, and increased demand due to healthcare centralization. This, coupled with worsening traffic congestion, underscores the need for efficient solutions like drone-based medical transport. This paper addresses t ...

Generation of Synthetic Aircraft Landing Trajectories Using Generative Adversarial Networks

An Exploratory Study on the Applicability of an Unconditional Recurrent-Based Network (TimeGAN) and Conditional Extensions to Synthetic 4-Dimensional Aircraft Landing Trajectory Generation

The increasing demand and complexity of air traffic management (ATM) systems necessitate significant advancements in automation to ensure safety and efficiency. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are emerging as promising solutions to manage this growing compl ...
Through several contractions, stiff competition, and increasing passenger expectations, airports must evolve continually. One of the main avenues for this has been improving the efficiency of the security check- points, which are airports’ primary bottlenecks. Operational optimis ...

UAV Swarm Intelligence in CEMA

Enhancing Urban Communication Line Management

In response to the increasing challenges of Cyber Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA) in urban settings, characterized by dense electromagnetic (EM) signals and rising data traffic, this research introduces an Agent-Based Model (ABM) aimed at prioritizing critical signals. The pri ...
Climate change poses a significant global challenge and the aviation industry, a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, must address its environmental impact. As the demand for air travel continues to rise, transitioning to sustainable forms of aviation becomes crucial. T ...
Low-altitude, high-density air traffic is expected to grow in the coming decades with several companies being certified to initiate urban operations for both freight and passenger transport. However, traditional human-centered Air Traffic Control operations (ATCos) are not scalab ...
This research addresses the process of task allocation in a heterogeneous multi-agent fleet through the introduction of a novel mechanism in existing decentralised consensus algorithms: bid intercession. Bid intercession refers to the principle of agents biding on behalf of other ...
Many large airports aim to have complete autonomous airside operations in the future. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AAS) for example, launched the Autonomous Airside Operations program to achieve this goal. Our main contribution is to present a Multi-agent Pickup-and-Delivery (MAPD ...
Rotterdam the Hague Airport (RTHA) is planning to implement a new self-service luggage check-in system which has a different concept of operations compared to the current self-service system for luggage check-in. To efficiently develop, evaluate and implement this new system, a s ...
This study presents the development of a multimodal System of Systems (SoS) framework, to assess the impact of top-level aircraft requirements in providing advanced air door-to-door mobility. The field of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is rapidly evolving, and while current research ...
Airport terminals are complex sociotechnical systems, in which humans interact with diverse technical systems. A natural way to represent them is through agent-based modeling. However, this method has two drawbacks: it entails a heavy computational burden and the emergent propert ...
Inspired by the vision of fully autonomous airside operations at Schiphol airport, this study aims to contribute to the short-term goal of automated aircraft ground handling. In this research, we design and evaluate a multi-agent system for planning of automated ground handling. ...
Growth in air traffic demand and the increasing importance of reducing emissions cause airports to consider the improvement of their ground surface movement operations in terms of efficiency and environmental impact. Over the past years, engine-off taxiing techniques have been co ...
The healthcare systems of developed countries are getting more centralized and specialized. In order for this trend to continue one requires a reliable medical emergency delivery system. Both governments and private companies recognize that drones might be a good fit for this job ...
The increased pressure to reduce aircraft emissions and the growing demand for air travel causes airports to consider alternatives for fuel-inefficient aircraft taxiing. External towing tugs can be deployed to effectively reduce on-ground fuel burn of outbound aircraft. These new ...

Airport Cargo Handling after a Natural Disaster Event

Modelling and Analysis of Airport Cargo Handling after a Natural Disaster Event

The severity of natural disasters is increasing every year, having an impact on many people's lives. During the response phase of disasters, airports are important hubs where relief aid arrives while people need to be evacuated out of there. However, the airport often forms a bot ...
