Today's airports are at times unable to handle the air traffic
demand. The busiest airports are already saturated, and there are
political and environmental difficulties associated with any
further airport expansion. In view of the anticipated growth in air
traffic demand, there is a clear need for economically beneficial
capacity improvements in an environmentally responsible manner.
However, the required capacity growth cannot be achieved by relying
on existing technologies, policies and procedures. To provide
solutions for environmentally induced capacity bottlenecks, the
authors' research is aimed at the development of a new integrated
concept for managing the environmental impact of flight operations
into and out of airports. The set of fully integrated noise
management tools that the authors envision includes interrelated
tools at the strategic level (annual/seasonal noise allocation
planning), the tactical-/operational level (sequencing and
scheduling of flights and separation assurance) and the trajectory
level (selection of noise-optimised routes and flight profiles).
The proposed integrated environmental management tool provides
decision support to air traffic controllers to enable traffic
management on the basis of throughput efficiency and safety in
concert with noise exposure and emission considerations. The
objective of this book is to outline the envisaged integrated
environmental management concept, and to summarise our research
efforts related to the main enabling capabilities (tools) that
underlie this concept.
