Sector Traffic Balancing Using Tactical Demand Tailoring

One of of our students – Sven Vegter – was given the opportunity to present his bachelors thesis during the SESAR Innovation days in Sevilla. The aeronautical traffic capacity is approaching its limits. This is especially true for airports where airports are constrained to resources such as runways. Consequences of full capacity traffic can be […]

Assessing the Performance of the sonAIR Aircraft Noise Model in Predicting Noise Levels at Schiphol Airport

Published Online: 30 May 2024    Abstract: Aircraft noise is a significant problem for communities surrounding airports. Accurate prediction models are needed to estimate noise levels from aircraft operations. In this research, the accuracy of the sonAIR aircraft noise model in predicting noise levels from departures around Schiphol airport is evaluated by comparison to measurement […]

Aircraft Noise Model Improvement by Calibration of Noise-Power-Distance Values Using Acoustic Measurements

Published Online: 30 May 2024    Abstract: To regulate aircraft noise impact on communities surrounding airports, best-practice models are used to predict aircraft noise levels. In this research the Noise-Power-Distance (NPD) tables in the European Doc.29 noise model are evaluated with measurements around Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Even with accurate input parameters (thrust and distance to […]

Traffic Merging in TMA

Ritsen in de lucht    Een ontwikkeling die de geluidshinder voor de omwonenden van luchthaven Schiphol verder kan terugdringen is het uitvoeren van glijvluchten (CDO – Continuous Descent Operations) langs vaste naderingsroutes. Voor de invoering van deze vaste naderingsroutes in de drukke dagoperatie op Schiphol heeft Luchtverkeersleiding Nederland (LVNL) het Knowledge & Development Centre (KDC) gevraagd […]

ASAS Interval Management

Automatisch afstand bewaren  Een drukke spits? Dan gaan op de snelwegen de doseerlichten aan. Een lange rij voor de kassa in de supermarkt? Dan gaat er een extra kassa open. Of nog beter: we rekenen zelf onze boodschappen af met de zelfscanner. In het dagelijkse leven zijn we voortdurend bezig met het ontwikkelen van manieren […]
