Airport and Runway Throughput (AART)
|
A total of 32 solutions supporting more efficient, resilient, accessible, and greener airport airside operations are now ready for take-off, thanks to the work of the SESAR Airside, Airport and Runway Throughput project (AART PJ.02 Wave 2). Partners gathered on 28-29 March in Brétigny, France to showcase the work of the project and the range of solutions available to improve traffic throughput at airports.

Addressing the non-CO2 climate effects of aviation
|
The recently closed SESAR FlyATM4E project investigated how climate optimised aircraft trajectories can mitigate the impact of non-CO2 emissions based on analysis of flight data during different meteorological conditions, vertical, and horizontal flight paths.

Assuring safety in low-level airspace
|
Equipped with accurate flight information, the mythical Greek figure Icarus could have avoided flying too close to the sun. SESAR’s ICARUS project aimed to protect against such mishaps by ensuring manned and unmanned airspace users access the same altitude reference system.

Presenting flight labels in a new light |
At any one time, air traffic controllers may have up to twenty aircraft on their screen depending on traffic conditions and the day of the week. While the number of aircraft that a controller can manage is capped to ensure safe handling of traffic, the situation remains demanding and complex. This is where the innovative SESAR solution, attention guidance, comes in.

Getting real about virtual centres
|
ANSPs have hosted processing infrastructure remotely for decades, supported by fully redundant networks, to add flexibility. Virtual centres go a step further by decoupling the location of controllers from air traffic service units (ATSU) to create decentralised services that no longer depend upon fixed infrastructure at local ANSP premises.

Reduced flight time and fuel burn on the cards with voice recognition tool
|
Pilots and air traffic controllers (ATCOs) rely on voice communications to exchange critical messages affecting flight safety, such as altitude and speed. SESAR researchers have turned to automatic speech recognition and understanding (ASRU) as a solution to potentially save flight time and fuel burn, while alleviating controller workload.

On trajectory to greater flight efficiency
|
Airspace management relies on modern systems on the ground and in the cockpit, yet neither currently connect with each other. In an age where data sharing is routine, two SESAR modernisation projects, ADSCENSIO and 4DSkyways, have developed ways to downlink flight information from the cockpit to air traffic control, and uplink data from the ground to the aircraft to fly more efficiently.
