🌍✈️ The KDC is on a mission to drive sustainable development at Mainport Schiphol! By launching and executing targeted projects in close collaboration with the air transport sector and government, we tackle complex challenges that require the expertise of multiple stakeholders and research institutes. Our efforts are guided by the KDC Research Agenda, which outlines […]
Read MoreFor those who haven’t yet had the pleasure of meeting Rebekka van der Grift, we herewith would like to introduce our dedicated PhD candidate who is making significant strides in the field of aviation. Rebekka is focusing on an essential and contemporary topic: noise calculation. Accurate aircraft noise calculations are essential for mitigating noise pollution around […]
Read MoreThe KDC Foundation is a collaboration between the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, LVNL, and aviation sector partners KLM and Royal Schiphol Group. The foundation develops and integrates knowledge with the aim of developing and innovating aviation in the Netherlands and Mainport Schiphol. The KDC has a multi-year program carried out in collaboration with […]
Read MoreOne 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 […]
Read MorePublished 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 […]
Read MorePublished 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 […]

12 May 2015 Vaste naderingsroutes en CDA´s
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 […]
Read MoreAutomatisch 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 […]
Read MoreMeer gestroomlijnd naar Schiphol: Lovende kritieken voor nieuw Arrival Management Systeem “Liever gister dan vandaag”. De approach-verkeersleiding (APP) kijkt uit naar de komst van ASAP, de Advanced Schiphol Arrival Planner. In november 2015 gaat het nieuwe Arrival Management Systeem operationeel. De kritieken zijn lovend over het systeem dat de verwachte aankomsttijden van naderende vliegtuigen én […]
