Lisbon Airport Capacity Enhancement: Airspace capacity estimation and enhancement
نویسنده
چکیده
The capacity of Lisbon Airport has been for a long time object of concern, with the airport currently operating close to its saturation limits and constrained by the capacity of its terminal area airspace. In this context, a study based on fast-time simulation techniques, which allow great flexibility in assessing the different airspaces scenarios impact, was realized. This paper describes the concepts of airport airside capacity as well as controller workload, which heavily affects capacity. Using the software RAMS Plus, the current airspace configuration of Lisbon Airport was studied and replicated in two scenarios, one for RWY 03 and another for RWY 21. Alternative scenarios were analysed having concluded that, with some modifications, it is possible to increase airspace capacity.

Dynamic Stochastic Optimization Model for Air Traffic Flow Management with En Route and Airport Capacity Constraints
In this paper, we present a linear dynamic stochastic optimization model for Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) that accounts for uncertainty in both airport and en route airspace capacity. Rather than analyzing this problem in its full generality, we focus on the case in which there is a single destination airport and a small number of arrival fixes subject to blockage or reduced capacity as a...
متن کاملModeling and Estimating Airspace Movements Using Air Traffic Control Transcription Data
High-fidelity models of airport and airspace capacity enable researchers to study modernization strategies that optimize capacity. The design and the development of airport and airspace capacity models require volumes of detailed aircraft movement data in the terminal airspace. This data, while it exists in the public realm, is highly challenging and cumbersome to collect in large quantities. I...
متن کاملIntegration of Terminal Area Probabilistic Meteorological Forecasts in Nas-wide Traffic Flow Management Decision Making
This paper we describe how we use meteorological measurements and forecasts to model the impact of ceiling, visibility and surface winds on airport capacity. These impacts can be modeled both as deterministic influences on airport capacity and stochastic forecasted airport capacities. These impacts can be used, along with en route airspace impact models, in traffic flow management solutions. Ou...
متن کاملL2 Learners' Acquisition of English Nominal Clauses: Effects of Textual Enhancement, Metalinguistic Explanation, and Self-Regulation
This study aimed to investigate the impact of textual enhancement and metalinguistic explanation as focus-on-form tasks tending to encourage the acquisition of nominal clauses (NCs) in English. It explored (a) whether textual enhancement and metalinguistic explanation would promote and enhance the knowledge of NCs, (b) whether these two tasks would differ in terms of enhancing learners' knowled...
متن کاملCapacity Enhancement of Ad Hoc Networks using a New Beamforming Scheme Based on ESPAR
This paper proposes a new smart antenna beamforming scheme based on electronically steerable parasitic array radiator (ESPAR). The proposed method is capable of providing better capacity compared to the conventional ESPAR. The termination of each antenna element in this structure comprises a PIN diode in addition to a varactor. Using PIN diode besides the varactor provides more degrees of freed...
