2. Introducing the problem: the D2D experience…
Introducing the problem: the D2D experience…. Giuliano’s business journey
Giuliano’s journey is a test case for the 4 hour D2D goal
From Leonardo’s office in Rome (Italy) to CATER workshop in Porto (Portugal)
1.800 km as crow flies (or 45 km office to Fiumicino airport, 1750 km airport to airport and about 15km from Porto Airport to conference venue)
Cruising speed of a modern aircraft is 850 km/hour so theoretical journey time, runaway to runway, is about 2h 40’ (direct flight)
Door to door could be less than 4 hours even without futuristic vehicles or massive building works
But in fact there are no direct flights at convenient time so Giuliano had to transit Frankfurt, or gets a flight from Rome to Lisbon and then a train to Porto (3h + 2h 30’)
So in reality Giuliano’s runway to runway time is 5h 45’ (Rome-Frankfurt-Porto) and Door-to-Door times, without delays, are about 9 hours

3. Introducing the problem: the D2D experience… …and it get’s more complex,,,
The case of 2 parent family with 2 young children (1-4 years) as a slow case but with the same itinerary and 4 hour D2D aim:
They most definitely will have luggage (so time spent in luggage drop)
They will be less eager to use public transport – so using car or taxi may mean traffic jams, need for parking near airport (extratime for these)
They will need to curry extra liquids/baby food (in case the plane is delayed) –extra time in security
They will be slower walking / need lift / etc - extra time in the airport

4. Where is the time lost? Looking for solutions
CATER: from hurry and wait to time efficient 4h D2D travel

5. Looking for solutions: Flightpath 2050
Flightpath 2050 Goals related to time efficiency
90% of travellers within Europe are able to complete their journey, door-to-door within 4 hours
Flights arrive within 1 minute of the planned arrival time regardless of weather conditions
European citizens are able to make informed mobility choices and have affordable access to one another, taking into account: economy, speed, and tailored level of service
Efficient boarding and security checks allow seamless security for global travel, with minimum passenger and cargo impact
An air traffic management system is in place that provides a range of services to handle at least 25 million flights a year of all types of vehicles, (fixed-wing, rotorcraft) and systems (manned, unmanned, autonomous) that are integrated into and interoperable with the overall air transport system with 24-hour efficient operation of airports
A coherent ground infrastructure is developed including: airports, vertiports and heliports with the relevant servicing and connecting facilities, also to other modes
Weather and other hazards from the environment are precisely evaluated and risks are properly mitigated

6. Looking for solutions: Flightpath 2050 and SRIA
Flightpath 2050 Goals related to time efficiency
90% of travellers within Europe are able to complete their journey, door-to-door within 4 hours ( duration)
Flights arrive within 1 minute of the planned arrival time regardless of weather conditions ( Punctuality)
European citizens are able to make informed mobility choices and have affordable access to one another, taking into account: economy, speed, and tailored level of service ( Predictability)
Efficient boarding and security checks allow seamless security for global travel, with minimum passenger and cargo impact ( Predictability)

8. Looking for solutions: Research questions for CATER
1. Describe where the minutes go, especially the “lost” ones
Identifying top 10 causes of lost minutes in rough order of impact
2. Identify changes (types of R&I) that could help recover those minutes
Identifying top 10 domains
3. Identify what R&I is being done which would affect Giuliano’s experience
EU, national, industry and international… top 50 actions
4. What are the non R&I industry, societal, environmental and political factors which impact the journey time
Top 10, i.e. security, ash, lowcost, regional airports…
5. What R&I is planned
Scan calls in EU and 5 biggest states over next 2-3 years
6. Assessment of past R&I
