Collaborative Decision Making, Improving Airport Operations Through CDM: Zaventem 2001 Project
The project objective is to improve Brussels Airport operations through improved co-operation between airport actors (in 2001 represented by Brussels International Airport Authorities, Belgocontrol, Sabena, and the EUROCONTROL Experimental Centre). Project phases included a state-of-the-art of the situation, the detection of information gaps and problems, finding of co-operative solutions, then, looking for their implementations. New CDM concepts, reused in the Barcelona project, encompass the description of a CDM milestones approach and distribution of TOBT (target off block time). A design of a CDM Collaborative Procedures (pre-notice start-up clearance) is developed. This document also addresses potential further-on challenges.
