Descripción del proyecto
The GALAAD Green Aviation – Lean Arrivals And Dynamicity project proposal contributes to the SESAR 3 IR Aviation Green Deal topic.
The project proposes to develop and validate a concept for dynamic RNP route allocation in the terminal area in order to make ATC operations more sustainable, resilient, responsive and adaptative towards operational condition changes and traffic demand variations. The research addresses the development of the end-to-end concept, including relevant decision support tools evolution and cross-border aspects. The idea is to move away from fixed RNP arrival route stuctures towards a flexible approach able to provide agile responses to variations of operational conditions in the terminal area, such as traffic density, airspace availability or environmental/weather constraints, and to develop the best eco-friendly routes structures.
As operational improvements, the introduction of the GALAAD-proposed concept related to a dynamicity in the use of RNP route structures within the terminal area is expected to provide greater fuel efficiency and environmental sustainability without negatively impacting capacity while improving safety and cost efficiency.
