EU Impact Monitor Project – Overview and Approach

Abstract

The EU Project Impact Monitor delivers a coherent and holistic framework and toolbox that aim to become the reference choice for technology and policy assessment of the environmental-, economic- and societal-impact of European aviation R&I. Bolstered by its profound knowledge and multidisciplinary expertise, a consortium consisting of 10 research establishments and academic institutes develop this framework and toolbox by advancing credible and successfully-applied approaches beyond state of the art. The paper shares the results and approach of Impact Monitor: The collaborative framework (analysis tools/models coming from different organizations) and assessment results will be demonstrated for three use cases. Each demonstration the multilevel assessment capability considering, one or multiple levels: Aircraft, Airport/ATM and Air Transportation System levels. Use Case 1: Advanced Propulsion System; Long- and Short-Range Aircraft with aircraft level evaluation. Use Case 2: Continuous Descent Operations; aircraft and airport level assessment. Use Case 3 (UC3): Sustainable Aviation Fuel; aircraft, airport and air transport system level assessment assessment. The sensitivity and trade-off is demonstrated via a user-friendly dashboard application to support data-driven decision-making.
