We present a model and a numerical example to analyse capacity decisions within a redesigned Air Traffic Management (ATM) value-chain. We assume a new role for the Network Manager (NM), having contractual relations with Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) and Aircraft Operators (AOs). The NM orders en-route airspace capacity from ANSPs at stra...

We present a re-designed European Air Traffic Management value-chain, with a new role for the Network Manager, which coordinates capacity and demand management decisions, using economic instruments for both areas. A conceptual and mathematical model supports decision-making in that process, focusing on capacity management decisions taken at the str...

The European Air Traffic Management (ATM) system is highly fragmented. It consists of 37 air navigation service providers (ANSPs) whose areas of responsibility are, in most cases, limited to national borders. ATM fragmentation impacts air traffic operations in Europe in several ways. One of them is reflected through the current route charging syste...

This paper presents a simulation model built for the purpose of an analysis of the current utilization of Nis Airport airside capacity, as well as for the estimation of additional capacity obtained after possible upgrade of taxiway system with parallel taxiway and additional aircraft stands at the apron. Results indicate that the current taxiway to...

This paper highlights the principal contributions and outcomes of the APACHE Project (a SESAR 2020 exploratory research project) in air traffic management performance assessment for monitoring purposes (post-ops analysis). Novel distance- and fuel-based indicators are proposed to assess environmental impact inefficiencies, taking as input only surv...

The process of staff planning and rostering is one of the key factors affecting the performance of an Air Navigation Service Provider in terms of capacity and cost-efficiency delivered to airspace users. This paper gives a summary of previous works and current rostering practices applied at Area Control Centres (ACCs) in Europe. Furthermore, it ide...

In this paper we analyse the effects of capacity sharing between Area Control Centres on delays and re-routings. We assume two different design options for capacity sharing (within Air Navigation Service Providers and within Functional Airspace Blocks) and compare them to a baseline scenario. Using the CADENZA optimization and simulation model, we...

The process of staff planning and rostering in ANSPs has a considerable effect on ATCO productivity and, consequently, on capacity and cost-efficiency delivered to airspace users. The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, to establish a relationship between ACC taskload (represented by daily capacity profiles), rostering flexibility in place and t...

This paper presents the simulation methodology used to analyze the airside operations at Nis airport. Results obtained from two software solutions with different scope and level of sophistication were compared in order to validate the models, as well as to assess their applicability and cost/benefit trade-off.

In air traffic management, a fundamental decision with large cost implications is the planning of future capacity provision. Here, capacity refers to the available man-hours of air traffic controllers to monitor traffic. Airspace can be partitioned in various ways into a collection of sectors, and each sector has a fixed maximum number of flights t...

The modernization of the ATM system in Europe is coordinated by the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) programme established in 2004. With the SESAR deployment phase already progressing in Europe, there is a growing need to assess its real impact on ATM performance. Free Route Airspace (FRA) is one of the most widely implemented SESAR solutio...

This paper presents a Network Based Simulation Model developed with the objective of assessing novel safety performance indicators of the future Air Traffic Management system. A set of seven safety performance indicators is proposed based on Potential Safety Occurrences. Developed model contains three modules: separation violation detection module,...

Objectives of the APACHE Project: To analyse current ATM performance frameworks and identify limitations and areas of improvement that may impede to effectively capture the ATM performance under either the current or future SESAR concept of operations; To propose a new set of indicators capable of measuring the performance of the ATM for planning/v...
