Developing an improved metric to better predict aircraft noise annoyance based on number of flights and complaints data Predicting the impact that aircraft noise will have on the community around an airport is a challenging problem. A human being experiences sound based on more than just the sound pressure (dB), and annoyance can increase even […]

Analysis of Meteorological Conditions and ATC vectoring effects on Atypical Approaches During arrival operations, aircraft are sequenced and vectored by air traffic control (ATC) to intercept the final approach and establish stabilized approach conditions prior to landing. Flight crews are required to control indicated airspeed, vertical flight path, lateral track and landing configuration in accordance […]

The practical possibilities of a Deep Turnaround based alarm system The Deep Turnaround (DT) system introduces the use of multiple cameras at aircraft VOPs to capture visual data of turnaround operations. This data is processed by a machine learning algorithm to interpret and predict ground handling events using historical datasets. While DT is primarily intended […]

Uncertainty Quantification for Inbound Air Traffic Demand in LVNL’s Decision Support Tool Efficiently managing inbound air traffic flows requires precise demand prediction to prevent congestion and ensure safety. Currently, LVNL’s Decision Support Tool (DST) supports this by providing deterministic point predictions. However, these predictions do not convey the range of possible outcomes. In a dynamic […]

Alerting based on Flight Plans

The concerned mother-in-law   “Will you phone to let us know you’ve arrived safely?” Really you think it unnecessary, after all what can happen during the drive from Zwolle to Amstelveen? But you don’t want your mother-in-law to worry, so you do it anyway.  We do exactly the same in aviation. Each flight submits an arrival […]

Traffic Merging in TMA

Traffic merging in the air  One development which could help to reduce noise pollution further for those living near Schiphol Airport is conducting Continuous Descent Operations (CDO) along fixed approach routes. With a view to introducing these fixed approach routes to the busy day-to-day operations at Schiphol, Air Traffic Control the Netherlands (LVNL) asked the […]
