dc.description.abstract |
This paper presents a framework for the negotiation
phase that is foreseen in the new operational concept proposed in
the Single European Sky Research (SESAR) program. In particular,
this paper describes a possible strategy for the airspace users
in order to deal with the Collaborative Decision Making (CDM)
process that is expected in this future scenario. In the SESAR
scenario, airspace users will become owners of their trajectories
and they will be responsible to solve possible mismatches between
capacity and demand in a particular airspace sector. The aim of
this strategy is to improve the efficiency in the CDM process by
computing the different operational costs associated to different
solutions that may solve a particular demand-capacity imbalance
in the airspace. This will allow them to optimise their operating
costs while reducing fuel consumption and therefore being more
environmentally friendly. Some suggestions have already been
done for the CDM mechanism, for instance the use of auctions.
However, the different options that aircraft operators might use
have not yet been sufficiently investigated. In this paper, the authors
propose an optimisation framework for aircraft operators
aimed at computing 4D trajectories with time constraints to deal,
in this way, with possible airspace regulations. Once a nominal
flight plan and a potential regulation is known, it is suggested
to compute several possible alternative flight plans (including rerouting,
but also altitude and speed profiles) that may solve the
capacity-demand problem. If more than one regulation is applied
to the flight, a tree of options is subsequently computed. The cost
of each optimised the option is also calculated in order to allow
the airspace users to initiate the negotiation process with other
airlines. Finally, a preliminary example is given at the end of this
paper in order to better illustrate the proposed methodology. |
