Abstract [en]
This work presents an enhanced optimization framework for fully automated scheduling of energy-efficient continuous-descent arrivals with guaranteed separation in the Terminal Maneuvering Area (TMA). On the example of a real heavy-traffic scenario at Stockholm Arlanda airport, we demonstrate that our approach enables scheduling of all planned arrivals during one hour of operation as continuous descents, by allowing flexible time of arrival to entry points within a range of ± 5 minutes. This provides significant savings in the time aircraft spend inside the TMA and a reduced fuel consumption. In addition, we integrate different aircraft wake turbulence categories that enable category-specific separation criteria.
