Airport CDM |
|
|
|
The objective of the Airport CDM (Collaborative Decision Making) project is to improve the overall efficiency of operations at an airport, with a particular focus on the aircraft turn-round procedures. This is achieved by enhancing the decision-making process by the sharing of up-to-date relevant information and by taking into account the preferences, available resources, and the requirements of those who are involved at the airport (such as airline operators,air traffic control, handling agents, and the airport management).

The Airport CDM project forms part of the work of the EATM Airport Operations Programme (APR). Within the Airport CDM project there is a close co-operation between the APT (Airport Throughput) unit, the ESC( European ATM System and Convergence) Business Division, the CFMU (Central Flow Management Unit), and the EEC. The project also has the full support of ACI (the Airport Council International) and IATA (the International Air Transport Association).

Field trials at several major European airports are being conducted in order to develop the airport CDM processes. Initial results from these trials have already identified an improvement in stand and gate allocation, resource management, and slot adherence which can lead to a reduction in costs, delays and passenger complaints on displayed flight information.

The objectives of the Airport CDM project are:
- To develop airport CDM applications in support of EATMP and the CFMU;
- To facilitate initial implementation in partnership with the users;
- To validate the applications after implementation; and
- To support development of standards at a European level.

Field trials at five major European airports are being conducted in order to develop the airport CDM processes. The decision-making process is enhanced by the sharing of up-to-date relevant information and by taking into account the preferences, available resources and the requirements of those who are involved at the airport (aircraft operators, air traffic control, handling agents, and the airport management).

Initial results from these trials have already identified an improvement in stand and gate allocation, resource management, and slot adherence which can lead to a reduction in costs, delays and passenger complaints on displayed flight information. The introduction of DPI (Departure Planning Information) and FUM (Flight Update Message) messages will lead to a more efficient slot allocation and enroute capacity management.
