ATM Researchers Meet in Baltimore |
The 6th USA/Europe ATM R&D seminar, jointly organised by the FAA and EUROCONTROL, took place in June in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Three keynote speeches and 69 research paper presentations to an audience of 200 international experts showed the challenges and the progress made in the search for operational ATM improvements.

Real-Time Platform Ready to Simulate 2010 Concept Elements |
|
The centre’s high fidelity real-time ATM simulation platform (ACE - Avenue Compliant Escape) has been enhanced and configured to meet requirements of the European Commission Gate-to-Gate validation project. Gate-to-Gate will evaluate and demonstrate integrated operation of advanced ATM concept elements, providing a 2010 baseline upon which other concept elements, for 2010 onwards, can be progressively introduced for validation. Simulations will take place in the first quarter of 2006.

The Economic Catalytic Effects of Air Transport in Europe |
|
This study estimates that the catalytic effect of air transport usage over the last decade has been to increase European GDP (gross domestic product) by approximately 4% in the long run, which is €410 billion at today’s prices. This growth is achieved through the impact of air transport on trade, tourism and more importantly on business investment and the underlying productivity of the European economy. By 2025, growth in air transport is forecast to lead to a further GDP growth of 1.8% in the long run, or €200 billion at today’s prices.

How will Deregulation Affect ATM Market Evolution? |
|
The overall objective of this study was to explore similarities between ATM at the start of a deregulation process, and other network-based industries that have already undergone such a process. All of the scenarios considered would enhance capacity and introduce a market-oriented perspective.

First steps in the use of an Arrival Management tool at Rome |
Controller decision support tools such as Arrival Managers (AMAN) will become increasingly necessary to enable aircraft to meet efficiency and punctuality constraints. The Experimental Centre and the Italian service provider (ENAV) research centre conducted a real-time simulation of arrival management in Rome in Autumn 2004. The results showed acceptance of both new controller working methods and displays, and laid the foundation for future work.
