Performance Evaluation of the Approaches and Algorithms for Hamburg Airport Operations

Kurzfassung

This paper describes the performance evaluation of the approaches and algorithms developed by DLR and NASA that enables trajectory-based surface operations, thus improving efficiency and predictability. The algorithms were applied to a common airport (Hamburg Airport). It starts with a comparison of current day operations in Europe and U.S. airports, followed by description of the concepts and tools developed by DLR and NASA independently with respect to the two different operational environments, and finally comparison of the simulation results using common scenarios.
