What is dynamic airspace configuration?
|
Dynamic airspace configuration is the packaging of air traffic control routes, optimised trajectories, airspace reservations and sectors so that they can be dynamically managed and can be easily adapted to changing traffic demand. Check out this video of a DAC tool, developed by partners in the SESAR Project PJ.08 (W1), which used AI and machine learning to enable more scalable and resilient ATM.
