Since the beginning of June, Gabriele Sirtori, a postdoctoral researcher at ISA, has been leading a research project aimed at quantifying and attributing operational inefficiencies in air traffic management.
This project, funded by Thales, has the following objectives:
– develop a multidisciplinary operational efficiency metric that takes into account aircraft performance, ATM constraints, and environmental impacts;
– apply this metric to representative pre- and post-COVID periods to quantify and categorize sources of inefficiency, combining economic and environmental indicators with traditional indicators (punctuality, predictability, safety).
In a multidisciplinary team consisting of Laurent Joly and Scott Delbecq (ISAE-SUPAERO) and Xavier Olive (ONERA), this 18-month project will revisit the assessment of inefficiencies in air traffic management, the reduction of which represents a lever for reducing the footprint of air transport.
We look forward to sharing updates on this exciting project.
