TEAM_Play for Europe

Abstract

TEAM_Play -Tool Suite for Environmental and Economic Aviation Modelling for Policy Analysis- offers a range of European capabilities for the modelling of aviation noise, local air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, climate response, technology and economic impacts, and respective interdependencies. These useful capabilities for historic, current and future year impact assessments are combined in a unique single tool suite, and thus to be operated in a common environment. The further use of a single input data source (i.e., data warehouse and exchange platform) is an enabler for consistent and more accurate aviation economic and environmental trade-off studies and policy impact assessments. The collaborative project TEAM_Play, co-funded by the European Commission (EC) as part of the 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Union (EU), ended in 2013. Progress on aviation environmental modelling and capability management in Europe has been slow since, or concentrated within specific activities (ICAO CAEP, Clean Sky, SESAR). In order to collaboratively move on, and supporting and strengthening the European position in the international policy arena, the European aviation environmental modelling strategy needs further implementation and momentum. In this context, the proposed presentation addresses TEAM_Play for Europe.
