    Skorobogatov, Georgy; Barrado Muxí, Cristina; Salamí San Juan, Esther (2020-04-02)
    Article
    Open Access
    Nowadays, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are used in many different applications. Using systems of multiple UAVs is the next obvious step in the process of applying this technology for variety of tasks. There are few ...

  • Estimating fuel consumption from radar tracks: a validation exercise using FDR and radar tracks from descent trajectories 

    Dalmau Codina, Ramon; Prats Menéndez, Xavier; Ramonjoan Escobar, Alex; Soley, Santiago (Springer, 2020-02-19)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Fuel consumption is one of the major considerations for both the impact of aviation in the environment and the cost of operations. This paper assesses the accuracy of a method capable of producing aircraft fuel estimates ...

  • A framework for collaborative air traffic flow management minimizing costs for airspace users: Enabling trajectory options and flexible pre-tactical delay management 

    Xu, Yan; Dalmau Codina, Ramon; Melgosa Farrés, Marc; Villardi de Montlaur, Adeline de; Prats Menéndez, Xavier (2020-03-03)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    This paper proposes a collaborative air traffic flow management (ATFM) framework, in the scope of trajectory based operations, aiming to improve the cost-efficiency for airspace users (AUs) when facing ATFM regulations. ...

  • Using Broadcast Wind Observations to Update the Optimal Descent Trajectory in Real-Time 

    Dalmau Codina, Ramon; Prats Menéndez, Xavier; Baxley, Brian (2020-02)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    The ability to meet a controlled time of arrival during a continuous descent operation will enable environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient descent operations while simultaneously maintaining airport throughput. However, ...

  • Synchronised Demand-Capacity Balancing in Collaborative Air Traffic Flow Management 

    Xu, Yan; Prats Menéndez, Xavier; Delahaye, Daniel (2020-05)
    Article
    Open Access
    This paper introduces a novel approach for synchronised demand-capacity balancing within a proposed Collaborative Air Traffic Flow Management framework. The approach is aimed to realise optimising traffic flow and scheduling ...

  • Deep reinforcement learning for drone delivery 

    Muñoz Ferran, Guillem; Barrado Muxí, Cristina; Çetin, Ender; Salamí San Juan, Esther (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-09-10)
    Article
    Open Access
    Drones are expected to be used extensively for delivery tasks in the future. In the absence of obstacles, satellite based navigation from departure to the geo-located destination is a simple task. When obstacles are known ...

  • Wearable sensors for evaluating driver drowsiness and high stress 

    Becerra, Patricia; Reyes Muñoz, María Angélica; Guerrero Ibañez, Juan Antonio (2019)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    FLOR will redefine the paradigms under which remote pilots and Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems have been designed and operated during the last decades; i.e. a dedicated crew manages a single aircraft, indistinctive from ...

  • GPS-SLAM: an augmentation of the ORB-SLAM algorithm 

    Kiss-Illés, Dániel; Barrado Muxí, Cristina; Salamí San Juan, Esther (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-11-15)
    Article
    Open Access
    This work presents Global Positioning System-Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (GPS-SLAM), an augmented version of Oriented FAST (Features from accelerated segment test) and Rotated BRIEF (Binary Robust Independent ...

  • Dynamic workload management for multi-RPAS pilots 

    Fas Millán, Miguel Ángel; Pastor Llorens, Enric (2019-04)
    Article
    Open Access
    This document describes a key aspect of NtoM, a concept of operations (ConOps) currently under development, which focuses on the awareness, productivity and safety of Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) pilots controlling ...

  • Comparison of various guidance strategies to achieve time constraints in optimal descents 

    Dalmau Codina, Ramon; Prats Menéndez, Xavier; Verhoeven, Ronald; Bussink, Frank; Heesbeen, Bart (2019-01-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    Continuous Descent Operations (CDOs) have been subject of extensive research in the last decades. Even if proving successful in reducing the environmental impact [1], such operations suffer from a well-known drawback: the ...

  • Fuel-efficient trajectories traffic synchronization 

    Pawelek, Adrian; Lichota, Piotr; Dalmau Codina, Ramon; Prats Menéndez, Xavier (2019-03)
    Article
    Open Access
    Continuous descent operations (CDOs) with required times of arrival (RTA) have been identified as a potential solution for reducing the environmental footprint of aviation in the terminal maneuvering area without compromising ...

  • Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications Display oriented to multiple Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems pilots 

    Fas Millán, Miguel Ángel; Pastor Llorens, Enric (2019-02)
    Article
    Open Access
    A Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) interface oriented to Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) pilots was implemented as part of a synthetic task environment aimed to test the NtoM concept of operations ...
