Air Traffic Management / Human Factors / Safety / Environment / Airport Processes

AT-One develops and evaluates concepts, techniques and solutions for the Air Transport System of the future.

AT-One is the strategic alliance between between DLR’s Institute of Flight Guidance and NLR’s Air Transport Division.
Both institutes have a long track record of providing innovative an independent approaches to Air Traffic Management research. With this vast experience AT-One is a unique Centre of Excellence for Air Traffic Management.

Our focus is providing customer oriented solutions based on our extensive knowledge on ATM/ATC and supported by a complete network of research facilities. The 260 employees inside AT-One have also access to expertise of the 1400 experts on Air Transport working in DLR and NLR.

AT-One has offices in Amsterdam, Braunschweig and Brussels and is the largest ATM research alliance in Europe and probably in the world.

The world wide air transport is expected to double over the next decade. To guarantee the mobility and safety of the society new solutions for ATM must be developed and validated.
AT-One understands that the future challenges can be met by improving air traffic with respect to safety, security, sustainability and efficiency.

By its research and scientific services AT-One contributes to this task and provides its customers with tailored solutions in areas like

Air Traffic Management
Human Factors
Safety
Environment
Airport Processes

AT-Ones experienced business managers will help customers to develop the best fitting offer for their individual needs.

Successful Gaming Exercise on Total Airport Management in FP6 project EPISODE-3

Successfull Gaming Exercise on Total Airport Management in FP6 project EPISODE-3

A first gaming exercise on Total Airport Management (TAM) has been carried out in the Airport Control Center Simulator (ACCES) facility of AT-One in Braunschweig. This exercise is a part of the FP6 project EPISODE-3, which has the objective to analyse the SESAR concepts and to provide some very first validation results of these concepts.

The TAM concept, a joint development of the DLR Institute of Flight Guidance (AT-One) and Eurocontrol, which is fully compliant with the SESAR concept for airport operations, defines a collaborative pre-tactical planning process of the major land- and airside airport processes. It is expected that this collaborative planning process will lead to a more efficient use of available capacities especially in predicted critical traffic situations (e.g. poor weather conditions, runway closures or massive delay situations).

In the gaming exercise operational experts from three main stakeholders – airport, airline and air navigation service provider – were confronted with a predicted severe capacity shortfall. Their task was to deal with this predicted situation by means of a collaborative planning process supported by a decision support tool prototype developed at the Institute for Flight Guidance. The experiments have produced some interesting findings about the negotiation process and the specific goals of the stakeholder agents and additional experiments are planned to investigate these further. These results will provide valuable input to current and future research activities in the area of airport operations. AT-One’s control center simulator ACCES provides an ideal experimental environment for operations concepts involving multiple stakeholders and will play an important role in the validation of Total Airport Management as envisioned in SESAR.
