Abstract

More efficient metroplex operations as a result of Next-Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) Operational Improvements (OIs) is an important component of the Integrated Work Plan envisioned by the FAA’s Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO). Non-real-time simulations can be used to estimate the benefits of advanced metroplex scheduling concepts such as those envisioned by the JPDO. NASA NextGenAirspace Project’s, System Level Design, Analysis, and Simulation Tools (SLDAST) Research Focus Area (RFA) has developed the Airspace Concept Evaluation System (ACES) for assessment of the impact of advanced Air Traffic Management (ATM) concepts. This paper describes the use of ACES Build 5.0 to perform a preliminary NextGen metroplex assessment study. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential benefits of a Multi-airport Departure Planner. The New York metroplex (N90) was the focus region for this assessment.
