Climb, cruise, and descent speed reduction for airborne delay without extra fuel
Xu, Yan; Dalmau Codina, Ramon; Prats Menéndez, Xavier (2018-05-01)
Article
Open AccessIn the majority of situations, air traffic flow management (ATFM) regulations are issued due to weather-related capacity reductions. Considering the uncertainties in weather prediction and other unforeseen factors, ATFM ... -
Cost-based linear holding practice and collaborative air traffic flow management under trajectory based operations
Xu, Yan (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-11-20)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe current air transportation system is reaching the capacity limit in many countries/regions across the world. It tends to be less efficient or even incapable sometimes to deal with the enormous air traffic demand that ... -
Effects of linear holding for reducing additional flight delays without extra fuel consumption
Xu, Yan; Prats Menéndez, Xavier (2017-06)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents an approach to implement linear holding (LH) for flights initially subject to ground holding, in the context of Trajectory Based Operations. The aim is to neutralize additional delays raised from the ... -
Effects of speed reduction in climb, cruise and descent phases to generate linear holding at no extra fuel cost
Xu, Yan; Dalmau Codina, Ramon; Prats Menéndez, Xavier (2016)
Conference report
Open AccessSpeed reduction strategies have proved to be useful to recover delay if air traffic flow management regulations are cancelled before initially planned. Considering that for short- haul flights the ... -
Enhanced Demand and Capacity Balancing based on alternative trajectory options and traffic volume hotspot detection
Melgosa Farrés, Marc; Prats Menéndez, Xavier; Xu, Yan; Delgado Muñoz, Luis
Conference report
Open AccessNowadays, regulations in Europe are applied at traffic volume (TV) level consisting in a reference location, i.e. a sector or an airport, and in some traffic flows, which act as directional traffic filters. This paper ... -
