  Polishchuk, Tatiana; Polishchuk, Valentin; Schmidt, Christiane; Sáez García, Raúl; Prats Menéndez, Xavier; Hardell, Henrik; Smetanová, Lucie (2020)
  Conference report
  Open Access

  This work presents an enhanced optimization framework for fully automated scheduling of energy-efficient descent arrivals with guaranteed separation in the Terminal Maneuvering Area (TMA). On the example of a real heavy-traffic ...
• Integrating the Science Opportunity Analyzer with a reusable opportunity search framework 

  Llopis, Marcel; Franch Gutiérrez, Javier; Soria Guerrero, Manel (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2020)
  Conference report
