Efficient Arrival Management Utilizing ATC and Aircraft Automation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present an airspace capacity research project at NASA’s Ames and Langley Research Centers within the Terminal Area Productivity program, TAP. We describe an application area that deals with arrival traffic management and control in a 2010 time frame. We investigate utilizing and integrating air traffic control and aircraft automation. We address potential benefits and limitations and initial observations gathered from several controllers and pilots in the loop simulations.

متن کاملDesign and Evaluation of the Terminal Area Precision Scheduling and Spacing System
-This paper describes the design, development and results from a high fidelity human-in-the-loop simulation of an integrated set of trajectory-based automation tools providing precision scheduling, sequencing and controller merging and spacing functions. These integrated functions are combined into a system called the Terminal Area Precision Scheduling and Spacing (TAPSS) system. It is a strate...
متن کاملTrajectory Specification for Automation of Terminal Air Traffic Control
“Trajectory specification” is the explicit bounding and control of aircraft trajectories such that the position at each point in time is constrained to a precisely defined volume of space. The bounding space is defined by cross-track, along-track, and vertical tolerances relative to a reference trajectory that specifies position as a function of time. The tolerances are dynamic and will be base...
