Modeling Off-Nominal Recovery in NextGen Terminal-Area Operations
نویسنده
چکیده
Robust schedule-based arrival management requires efficient recovery from off-nominal situations. This paper presents research on modeling off-nominal situations and plans for recovering from them using TRAC, a route/airspace design, fast-time simulation, and analysis tool for studying NextGen trajectory-based operations. The paper provides an overview of a schedule-based arrival-management concept and supporting controller tools, then describes TRAC implementations of methods for constructing off-nominal scenarios, generating trajectory options to meet scheduling constraints, and automatically producing recovery plans.

Initial Evaluation of NextGen Air/Ground Operations with Ground-Based Automated Separation Assurance
NextGen air/ground operations with ground-based automated separation assurance have been initially evaluated with controllers and pilots in the loop at the NASA Ames Research Center. Nominal and off-nominal situations were investigated in a highly automated environment, under 2x and 3x traffic densities. The paper starts with a review of previous simulations on nominal operations, followed by a...

متن کاملMethodology for Estimation of Benefits of Human-factors Engineering in Nextgen/sesar Development
The concepts-of-operation proposed for Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) and Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) implicitly require a significant improvement over existing standards for flightdeck human-computer interaction. Whereas in today’s airspace operations there is no routing penalty for delayed response to a required maneuver, flights in high density NextGen/SESAR...
