Project Motivation

COCTA – Maximizing ATM cost-efficiency by flexible provision of airspace capacity – SID 2016 2

This ‘divorced’ planning horizon sometimes leads to overcapacity or capacity shortages, i.e. in both cases extra cost to users.

The estimated cost of en‐route and airport ATFM delay in 2015 was more than 1 billion EUR (EUROCONTROL PRC, 2016)

ANSPs have to plan their capacity provision several weeks in advance, while Aircraft Operators (AO) prefer flexibility and tend to make their route choice decisions at rather short term.

Optimization model (1)

COCTA – Maximizing ATM cost-efficiency by flexible provision of airspace capacity – SID 2016 4

Minimize: Total Aircraft Operators’ costs, i.e. the sum of route prices and displacement costs

Subject to:

• Flights in sector/time unit <= sector capacity

• ANS revenue >= cost of capacity provision

Decisions:

• ANS charges

• Sector capacity levels

Conclusions and future research

Future steps:

• Test the model with a realistic case-study

• More sophisticated choice models to represent AOs’ behaviours

• Introducing other performance indicators in the objective function

• Develop efficient solution algorithms

COCTA – Maximizing ATM cost-efficiency by flexible provision of airspace capacity – SID 2016 18

Results look promising: Allowing the NM to set variable prices and capacities results in more flights assigned to their favourite routes and an overall cost reduction.
