12 FAA Operational Data Traffic –Current traffic: OAG, ETMS, SAR, ARTS –Future traffic: airport authority, major carriers, ATA, FAA TAF, EIS, future traffic models Operations –OPSNET, ASPM Delays, taxi-out and taxi-in times, throughput, interarrival and interdeparture times –ASPM, ASQP Safety –Operational errors / operational deviations Traffic flow management actions –Miles in trail –Ground stops, ground delay programs
13
Degree of Correspondence Between Simulation Results and Operational Data Operational errors Operational deviations Vectoring Traffic flow management actions Operational Data Arrival delay, taxi out… Times for every aircraft and controller action Location and time of loss of separation if no controller action Altitudes Taxi-out times Delays Interarrival times Interdeparture times Runway throughput Simulation

14 Calibration and Validation Arrival Rates Number of Annual Arrival Pushes at Specified Rate Typically, will calibrate baseline operations –Runway arrival and departure rates
15
15 Calibration and Validation Typically, will calibrate baseline operations –Runway arrival and departure rates –Interarrival or interdeparture times Time Between Operations (minutes) Percent of Total Traffic ARTS Simulated results
16
16 Calibration and Validation Typically, will calibrate baseline operations –Runway arrival and departure rates –Interarrival or interdeparture times –Departure altitudes 0 - 7000 FT 7100 - 17000 FT 17100 - 23000 FT 23100 - 33000 FT Typically, will calibrate baseline operations –Runway arrival and departure rates –Interarrival or interdeparture times –Departure altitudes –Taxi-out or taxi-in times –Delays Validation –Visual with controllers –Analysis of summary statistics

21
DTW Issues at ZOB and DTW Use of new runway for triple arrivals New arrival and departure routes and relief of MIT Relief of congested enroute airspace Use of new runway for triple arrivals New arrival and departure routes and relief of MIT Relief of congested enroute airspace Impact on ground operations
22
Traffic Schedule 22 Departures Arrivals
23
Simulated Arrival Throughput 23 Triple Arrivals Dual Arrivals
24
24 $24 million per year with PRM and new procedures Effect of Triple Arrivals on Delay Applies only to IMC, MIT enforced 16% 49%
25
South restrictions (15-20 MIT) East restrictions (15-20 MIT) No restrictions Miles in Trail Restrictions on DTW Departures
26
26 Relieving MIT Departure Restrictions Reroute flows and decrease sector complexity Add departure routes
27
27 $24 million per year with new routes and new sectors Effect of MIT Restrictions on Departure Delay
28
En Route Redesign to Support Relief of Departure Restrictions 103 reroute sets defined, more than 1300 flights per day Before After 28
29
Approach for Analysis of En Route Redesign SDAR--No Reroute MapInfo to select and visualize reroutes Before After 29 Rerouted trajectories + Nonrerouted SAR tracks URET and SDAT to generate metrics SDAT Viewer to visualize traffic flows EXCEL to analyze and display results Altitude restrictions + Adaptation data URET restriction builder and trajectory model Custom tool to insert rerouted flight plans

30 Results of Analysis of Redesign: Max 15-Minute Sector Counts < 80% MAT 80% MAT - 100% MAT > 125% MAT 100% MAT - 125% MAT
31
31 Results of Analysis of Redesign: Hourly Sector Counts < 50/hour 51-60/hour >70/hour 61-70/hour
32
32 Results of Analysis of Redesign: Difference in Sector Counts Before and After Reroutes No change in sector count Sector count decrease Sector count increase
33
33 Results of Analysis of Redesign: Individual Sector Behavior Notional results Monitor Alert Parameter After Reroute Before Reroute
34
