Abstract

Analysis of Achievable Airborne Delay and Compliance Rate by Speed Control: A Case Study of International Arrivals at Tokyo International Airport

Highlights

The air traffic demand has been growing rapidly over the past decades, and current air traffic management (ATM) systems are under considerable stress
In order to support the new era of air transportation, the Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) [2], the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) [3] and the Collaborative Actions for Renovation of Air Traffic Systems (CARATS) [4] are ATM modernizations programs that are currently being implemented in the United States, Europe, and Japan, respectively
Considering the trade-off between delay and fuel saving, it is reasonable to assign the achievable delay based on the evaluation results by applying the fuel-equivalent speed

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The air traffic demand has been growing rapidly over the past decades, and current air traffic management (ATM) systems are under considerable stress. The cruise speed reduction strategy was further explored by Delgado and Prats [13], where the assigned ground delay can be absorbed in the air by flying at the lowest possible speed without extra fuel consumption as initially planned. Existing research [12], [13], [16], [18], [19] investigated speed control ability for a single aircraft under a given condition, the achievable delay by speed control is different for every flight because it depends on the aircraft type, nominal airspeed, flight distance, weight, flight level, temperature and wind, to name a few. B. SPEED CONTROL When planning a scheduled flight, operators consider the trade-off between the amount of fuel consumption and the flight time needed to fly a certain route. With the BADA Family 4, we can use the precise performance models for major aircraft types, and information on all aircraft types considered in this study is available
