Abstract
While virtual queuing is common in Europe, its use in the US is limited. The paper lays out concepts, data, metrics, and a framework to estimate benefits from virtual queuing, a departure management system that allows the aircraft to establish and maintain its position in the queue without physically joining it. This paper uses ASDE-X data for the analysis. ASDE-X is a runway safety system that fuses data from multiple sources to provide enhanced situational awareness for air traffic control. The paper demonstrates the potential use of ASDE-X for delay management using departure data recorded by the ASDE-X system at JFK Airport before runway reconstruction began in 2010. The analysis demonstrates possible significant benefits to using virtual queuing for departure management at congested airports, even with most conservative assumptions.
