NATS - Known as Demand Capacity Balancer, DCB is a ‘digital twin’ that can predict and model future operational performance in near real-time. In operation at Heathrow since 2015, DCB allows Heathrow to understand the impact of the wide range of factors that influence on time performance, from the strength of global winds to the location of airspace restrictions. The airport team use it to simulate thousands of potential scenarios to be sure they’re working to the optimum operational plan each day. https://hubs.la/Q02GXptG0

Where the environmental footprint of aviation is a concern, Usher AI saves >200kg of CO2 emissions per flight by improving the efficiency of airport ground movements. To make it concrete: this is half the CO2 footprint of a passenger going from Amsterdam to Rome... #ASMGCS has proven to save 20% in emissions (1) during taxiing. With the average fuel consumption during taxiing at London Heathrow conservatively set at 337 liters based on data from OAG (2) and one liter equal to 3,16kg of CO2 emissions (3), the savings equal a little over 200 kilos per movement. And would double (!) in limited visibility operations. Where the Usher concept provides a further improvement in the efficiency of ground operations relative to 'Follow-the-Greens', its savings will also be higher - both in terms of CO2 and costs. For the business case the benefit is dependent on carbon price. With the costs predominantly above 80 euro per tonne over the last two years, the savings amount to $10 per flight. Where the savings for an airport thus easily amount to millions per year, the savings of CO2 emissions to society are even more valuable. Added to the other financial benefits (5, 6 and 7) highlighted previously, the business case continuous to become stronger. Anybody need an Usher to lead the way?

Have you ever wondered about the practical implications of the airfield ground lighting system, especially when it comes to the diverse brightness levels of an ICAO High Intensity System? Examining the actual data from a European CAT III airport, specifically focusing on runway edge lighting, a fascinating insight emerges. Surprisingly, the system is switched off for a significant 43% of the time, and it operates at the highest brilliancy for merely 4% of the time. Enter Signalight's Medium Intensity System, a game-changer in optimizing operational efficiency. Covering the remaining 53%, this innovative system has a light output equivalent to brilliancy 4 of the high intensity systems. The brightness control at three customizable levels: 10%, 30%, and 100%, allows to cover the requirements of ICAO Annex 14 Vol. 1 Appendix 2 at brightness steps 1 to 4, Signalight adapts the lighting precisely to meet the specifications, ensuring perfect visibility for any meteorological situation. This data-driven revelation underscores the distinct advantages of medium intensity, particularly when considering the actual operating hours at various brilliancy levels.

As air traffic returns to pre-COVID levels, efficiency improvements must be introduced and maintained. This will eliminate possible airspace constraints and support optimized flight planning for aircraft operators. The adoption of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, automation, more innovative data analytics, and space-based surveillance to generate intelligent flight planning are improving the efficiency of air traffic management while keeping sustainability in mind.

Conrac Solutions’ Vice President, Operations, Scott Anderson was amped to share his key takeaways of attending Global Transmission Report’s first conference on Airport Electrification. The conference provided energy management teams from across the country a chance to discuss challenges faced with reducing greenhouse gas emissions and their resourceful approaches to solutions. San Francisco International Airport is actively reducing its environmental impact by shifting from natural gas to electricity through infrastructure upgrades and tenant electrification mandates. Their objectives include a 25% reduction in energy usage from 2013 (14% accomplished last year), a 50% cut in carbon emissions from 1990 levels (reached 41% by 2022) and diverting 90% of waste from landfills (currently at 61%). Progress is monitored via the Zero Annual Report available here: https://lnkd.in/d3wceeZn. Through innovation, the future can be bright.
