3. 3 Airportal Project Develop concepts, capabilities, and technologies that address Airport system constraints, including safety and environmental, to the NextGen capacity goals.
Address factors leading to:
Airport operations that achieve maximum efficiency in the use of gates, taxiways, runways, approach airspace.
Metroplex & regional operations where maximum system efficiency is achieved in the use of multiple-airport systems.
4. 4 Project Organization
5. 5 Airportal Domains
6. 6 Airportal Opportunities Total Throughput = ?(AP) * (AC/HR per AP) * ((HR/DAY)*(DAYS))
7. 7 Airportal Project Research Focus AreaSafe and Efficient Surface Operations (SESO)
8. 8 Airportal Project Research Focus AreaCoordinated Arrival/Departure Operations (CADOM) Challenges & Opportunities
Runway capacity is a major constraint to system capacity (base and weather-impacted)
Capacity of individual runways
Interactions between converging and parallel runways
Number of runways available
Runway operations must be integrated with surface operations and terminal/en route
Constraints vary by airport
Expected Impact or End Result
A suite of concepts and technologies that can be tailored to specific airports
Alternative concepts for improving the capacity and efficiency of the runway complex at the single-airport level – leveraging NextGen capabilities
Foundational Research
Development of alternative operational concepts at the airport level for single and multiple runways
Super density operations (conflict detection and alerting, separation assurance, wake vortex behavior and prediction)
Environmental impact of alternative operational concepts
Integration of runway and surface operations
9. 9 Airportal Project Research Focus AreaAirportal Transition and Integration Management (ATIM)
10. 10 Innovation Approach Assertion:
Many concepts for ATM and aircraft operational improvements have been formulated.
Some of these are the subject of detailed investigation (WakeVAS, TACEC,…..)
The JPDO-articulated NextGen reopens the design space (RNP, 4D Trajectory-Based Operations, ……)
Need:
Revisit demand, constraints, opportunities, and concept identification in the NextGen context.
Airportal Project strives to reopen this space during it’s first year, in collaboration with JPDO, FAA, and the International community.
Project reference material (technical approach, milestones) is available on-line at:
