It is motivated by the need to assess the impact of future large-scale air traffic demand on communities and existing urban airspace. In this paper, we simulate unmanned traffic in a representative area and measure the variation of traffic flow. We evaluate three conflict detection and resolution algorithms and two minimum separation requirements and present their effects on throughput. We find that, beyond an algorithm-specific aircraft inflow rate, throughput tends to decrease before the system safety reduces, and hence this metric is promising for evaluating airspace capacity. Further, we find that such a metric in conjunction with other capacity metrics may be useful in evaluating the adequacy of a conflict detection and resolution method for large-scale system operations at or close to capacity.","PeriodicalId":229151,"journal":{"name":"2018 Aviation Technology, Integration, and Operations Conference","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133954835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A key concept of ATD-2 centers on surface scheduling that allows aircraft to taxi, climb, and insert within the overhead stream with minimal interruptions. A core principle is to allow aircraft to absorb delay at the gate prior to engine start in order to reduce overall fuel burn and emissions. To achieve these goals, it is necessary for the scheduler to properly balance the demand at the runway with the available capacity while also predicting accurate takeoff times. This paper provides a data-driven analysis of the runway demand capacity balancing and measures the accuracy of schedules that are generated while running in a live operational environment at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport. We found that using minimum-time wake vortex separation constraints to define runway capacity resulted in scheduling departure operations at a slightly higher rate than the runway was operating and we discovered a surprising relationship between the runway rate and the accuracy of the schedules.","PeriodicalId":229151,"journal":{"name":"2018 Aviation Technology, Integration, and Operations Conference","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115366717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Beyond regulatory concerns, technical and particularly airspace integration limitations inhibit their deployment in practice. To address these issues and ensure uninterrupted optimal operations, we present a novel approach consisting of an integrated trajectory-location-routing algorithm that seeks to determine the optimal location of supporting infrastructure in the distribution supply chain. Unique to this approach is the consideration of dynamic obstacle avoidance and variable battery consumption relationships. An approximate algorithm based on a bi-level Large Neighbourhood Search is used to obtain close to optimal solutions under reasonable runtime. Results show that fleets of small UAVs could quickly distribute relief supplies to affected population groups with minimal reliance on ground infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":229151,"journal":{"name":"2018 Aviation Technology, Integration, and Operations Conference","volume":"11 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115480825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
