“…In the Asia-Pacific region, strategic air traffic flow management is achieved by using Long Range Air Traffic Flow Management (LRATFM), which has been devised to provide a basis for research into applications beyond the time-frames of the current system (10) . On-going Japanese research and development on an ‘Extended’ AMAN (E-AMAN) aims to ensure the efficiency of the traffic flow arriving at Tokyo International Airport (11) . In the E-AMAN scheme, arrival traffic flow control, which is designed to coordinate the traffic volume by considering the limited airspace capacity and runway throughput, shifts to time-based operations close to the destination airports, which ensures minimum time-spacing between arrivals.…”

Although the application of new, reduced aircraft separation minima can directly increase runway throughput, the impact thereof on the traffic flow of aircraft arriving at the destination airport has not been discussed yet. This paper proposes a data-driven and queue-based modeling approach and presents an analysis of the impact on the delay time of arriving aircraft in the airspace within a radius of 100 nautical miles around an airport. The parameters of our queuing model were estimated by analysing the data contained in the radar tracks and flight plans for flights that arrived at Tokyo International Airport during the 2 years of 2016 and 2017. The results clarified the best arrival strategy according to the distance from the arrival airport: The combination of airspace capacity control and reduction of the flight time and separation variance is the most powerful solution to mitigate delays experienced by arriving traffic while also allowing an increase in the amount of arrival traffic. The application of new wake vortex categories would enable us to increase the arrival traffic to 120%. In addition, the arrival delay time could be minimised by implementing the proposed arrival traffic strategies together with automation support for air traffic controllers.

“…In the Asia-Pacific strategic air traffic flow management region, the Long Range Air Traffic Flow Management has been devised to provide a basis for research into applications beyond current system time-frames [8]. Ongoing Japanese research and development on "Extended" AMAN (E-AMAN) aims to achieve efficient arrival traffic flow at Tokyo International Airport [9]. To analyze bottlenecks that future arrival traffic flow may bring, mathematical models are useful to predict causes and provide solutions for reducing arrival delay times.…”

This paper proposes data-driven queuing models and solutions to reduce arrival time delays originating from aircraft arrival processing bottlenecks at Tokyo International Airport. A data-driven analysis was conducted using two years of radar tracks and flight plans from 2016 and 2017. This analysis helps not only to understand the bottlenecks and operational strategies of air traffic controllers, but also to develop mathematical models to predict arrival delays resulting from increased, future aircraft traffic. The queue-based modeling approach suggests that one potential solution is to expand the realization of time-based operations, efficiently shifting from traffic flow control to time-based arrival management. Furthermore, the proposed approach estimates the most effective range of transition points, which is a key requirement for designing extended arrival management systems while offering automation support to air traffic controllers.

“…Flight Deck Interval Management (FIM) that exchanges place as well as altitude information straight between planes is a major engineering for Continuous Descent Operation (CDO), resulting in extremely effective aircraft operations. Underneath CDO, arrival plane descends at a continuous velocity to the runway at a state close to idling; current study results have shown the power effectiveness of this particular strategy [1,2].…”

This article reports an exploration of the information flow among aircrafts and describes a novel digital communication protocol which uses ad hoc mesh networking technologies. The proposed process may be operated utilizing current aircraft hardware and accomplishes very dependable interaction with a quick time period (a couple of tens of seconds). Simulations check that over 200 [octet] of information is usually shared with 98% of the aircraft inside a chosen region. 2This concept is complementary to the standard internet technology for aircraft like satellite web. It's potential to run web-based FIM even once the plane is outside of the coverage of internet services. Related workThe authors discuss about connected researches on candidates for inter-aircraft computer networks in terms of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model. The authors likewise outline the current radio equipment found in a regular aircraft. Physical and datalink layersThe authors discuss IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.16 m (WiMAX), and IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.22 that are standardized by the IEEE 802 standardization committee for local area networks (LAN) and metropolitan area networks (MAN). The authors subsequently present an overview of satellite internet as well as the ground-based internet. Lastly, the authors are going to touch on the communication technologies presently used in the plane. IEEE 802.11a/g/n/ac (also known as Wi-Fi) is a physical and datalink layer protocol that uses 2.4-2.5, 4.9-5.0, 5. 03-5.091, 5.15-5.35, and 5.47-5.725 GHz. The modulation is performed by orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) that uses orthogonal subcarriers [4][5][6].IEEE 802.16 m (also known as WiMAX) is a physical/datalink layer protocol that uses wireless networking for communication over a wider space than the IEEE 802.11a/g/n/ac series. It often uses 2.575-2.645 GHz UHF band and OFDM [7,8].Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is a standard for mobile phones. In Japan roughly 0.7-1.7 GHz (UHF band) is employed. It uses quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) over OFDM in every subcarrier [9][10][11].IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.22 are less famous than the above three protocols. IEEE 802.15.4 is a physical/datalink layer protocol for short-range wireless communication which uses 868. GHz and direct-sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) or offset quadrature phase-shift keying (OQPSK). IEEE 802.15.4 is best widely known as Zigbee wireless network protocol. IEEE 802.22 is a standard for wireless regional space networks using white areas within the TV broadcast bands [12].Satellite net services are primarily provided by geostationary satellites, although some are provided by satellite constellations who relay communications via many satellites. As fixed satellites do not handle the polar regions, therefore the communication coverage of theirs is restricted.Since satellite constellations are able to work with low-earth-orbit satellites, the correspondence latency is smaller than within the net service provided by fixed satellites. Because the...
