Domino project: network analysis
|
The Domino project has provided new insights into the use of network metrics (trip and passenger centrality, Granger causality and causality in tail) to analyse the impact of introducing new mechanisms in the ATM system. Domino has developed a full agent-based model, which captures the behaviour of key stakeholders (such as airlines and airports). It models a full day of operations at the ECAC level for both flights and passengers. Three mechanisms (4D trajectory adjustment, flight arrival coordination and flight prioritisation) have been assessed.
