What did we achieve in 2019? Which projects did we work on? What did we complete? What will we continue to work on over the course of the next year? And what are the results so far? You can find the answers to all these questions below.
Read MoreDutch airports have grown considerably over time. This growth takes place almost autonomously. No mechanisms are established to balance this growth among airports, routes or airspace. Without a coordinated development of airports, it is expected that the maximum airspace capacity will soon be reached.
Read MoreThe new year is starting off with yet another set of calls! The KDC management team has requested its partners to provide proposals for benefit assessments of Runway sequence bays (subject 5.3 of the research agenda), Optimization of ground movements in relation to taxiway renovation (subject 5.4), and an Airport Operations Centre (APOC) for Schiphol […]
Read MoreThe KDC management team has requested its partners to provide proposals for a benefit assessment of RECAT-EU for Departures (subject 5.2 of the research agenda) in a joint collaboration with EUROCONTROL. This is the first of four calls that will be made in the period up to January 15, 2020. Next in sequence will be […]
Read MoreThe new research agenda has been approved by the KDC Board, and is now available on the KDC web-site! With the 2020 agenda a new focus is placed on a number of areas that have been part of the KDC programme for some time: Environmental sustainability: new concepts are explored, supporting the innovation track of […]
Read MoreOn the KDC-website the following new article is filed under the ‘Projects’ tab: AMAN Cluster Including iCas Development Vision on the role of technology demonstrations in ATM innovation “X-Environment”; The development of an experimental environment in which operational data is readily available and where research studies can be made ready for possible implementation.
Read MoreBridging the gap between study and implementation is challenging for many European Air Navigation Service Providers; and is also felt by LVNL and the aviation sector partners. There are many aspects that make it difficult for a new idea or concept to make it from the design table to live operations. These difficulties were discussed […]
Read MoreOn the KDC-website the following new article is filed under the ‘Projects’ tab: Airport Capacity Managing of turnaround priorities for Schiphol airport; Potential priority rules to help optimize the airport throughput, specifically for the management of gate availability.
Read MoreManaging Turnaround Priorities The infrastructure of Schiphol is very capital intensive and it is therefore important that utilization thereof is maximized. This requires optimal use of runways, taxiways, gates and parking stands. Based on the currently available infrastructure, MovingDot and NLR explored potential priority rules to help optimize the airport throughput, specifically for the management […]
