CARE INNOVATIVE Action Project

Innovative Route Charging Schemes (IRCS)

17 February 2004

10:00-16:00 - room CASTOR
Eurocontrol HQ, rue de la Fusée 96
B-1130 Brussels, Belgium.


As one of the innovative Co-operative Actions of R&D in EUROCONTROL (CARE), the Innovative Route Charging Schemes (IRCS) Project has analysed the impact of changes in en-route charges in the ECAC area with respect to the demand and supply sides of ATM in a view to improve the overall efficiency of the system.

The IRCS Project has been performed by a consortium led by the University of Trieste, involving the University of Padova and Air Dolomiti.

They presented the results of the two-year study in a one-day dissemination forum covering the following subjects:
  • The impact of route charges on
    - Airline demand for ANS
    - Airline route choices
    - Passenger demand for air transportation.
  • The air – rail competition on medium range trips.
  • The direct economic impact of alternative charging schemes on airlines.
  • Methodologies for evaluating the performance of ATC centres.
  • A number of "marginal" variations to the present system in order to improve its effectiveness
  • An innovative vision for a charging system that will promote integration and reduce perturbations.

The agenda of the Forum is as follows

10.00 - 10.15 Welcome Addresses and Introduction

10.15 - 11.00 Impact of Route Charges on Airlines' Route Choices (Lorenzo Castelli - University of Trieste)

11.00 - 11.45 Behaviour of airlines and passengers on the medium term (Raffaele Pesenti - University of Palermo)

11.45 - 12.15 Coffee Break

12.15 - 13.00 Impact of alternative route charging schemes on airlines (Giovanni Andreatta - University of Padova)

13.00 - 14.30 Lunch

14.30 - 15.15 Directions towards Innovative Route Charging Schemes (Walter Ukovich - University of Trieste)

15.15 - 16.00 Open Discussion (moderator: Amedeo R. Odoni - Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT)
