PJ.02 W2 Airport airside and runway throughput (AART)

Title of proposal:

SESAR-IR-VLD-WAVE2-09-2019 PJ.02 W2 Airport airside and runway throughput (AART)

Grant Agreement No: 874477 (H2020-SESAR-2019-1)

Time frame: 2019-2022

Solution:

PJ.02 W2 AART

Project description:

The project will encompass the human, technical and procedural aspects of implementing and/or introducing the following proposed improvements:

• Safety maintenance tools to avoid deviations when taxiing;
• Improved efficiency in the application of aircraft separation minima in order to increase the runway throughput;
• Upgraded procedures in the maneuvering area based on the Global Navigation Satellite Services (GNSS);
• Improved access to smaller airports;
• Developing digitalisation for integrated ground management.

The project will work to upgrade the solutions in the field of automation, A-CDM (airport cooperative decision making) and data transfer (datalink) in order in order to prevent conflicts in the airport area and increase the efficiency of related operations.

Objectives:

• Improving the efficiency and sustainability of the operations for departure and arrival of airports with limited capacity and the access to secondary airports;
• Improving accessibility of airports with limited ground infrastructure in low visibility conditions. The improved flight vision system and synthetic vision system, the combined system and the LPV-100 will expand the approach and landing capabilities in the specific conditions of the abovementioned airports;
• Improving the tactical management of conflicts in the phase of movement on the apron and taxiways;
• Optimizing the provision of routes for movement from the aircraft parking stand to the runway;
• Improving the predictability and time management of ground-based procedures;
• Providing solutions for detecting, preventing and warning for the risks of exiting the runway by synchronizing the air-ground information exchange about the runway surface condition.
