Analysis of Fuel Efficiency in Highly Congested Arrival Flows

摘要：

In future traffic synchronization, delays that occur due to sequencing and merging operations will be partly absorbed by speed control techniques. This promises to be more fuel and workload efficient than todays holding or radar vectoring. However, trajectory prediction errors may propagate through the airspace, leading to additional delays. In this paper, we analyze the impact of trajectory prediction errors on the fuel efficiency of speed control techniques. We build a stochastic model of delay propagation and conclude that during high traffic densities, a balance between delay absorption on low and high altitudes is reasonable, even when the objective is to minimize fuel consumption.
