Operational Analysis of Scheduled Flight for Efficient Air Traffic System
Description: With regard to the significant increase in global air traffic demands, by 2027, Japanese air traffic is anticipated to increase by half of that recorded in 2005. This research project aims to obtain the important findings which contribute realizing an efficient air traffic system in Japan, by statistically analyzing operational efficiency of current Japanese air traffic system from the perspective of flight trajectory optimization. The potential benefits which are represented by fuel consumption and flight time savings could be quantified by applying the developed analysis method to the actual flight track data. The analysis also revealed major factors which cause significant deterioration of operational efficiency. Further, a novel trajectory prediction method based on the developed trajectory optimization procedures could be proposed.
