Punctuality depends on

the expected capacity during main planning phase

the impact and severity of effects if systems capacity degrades

the awareness of the degradation-effects to capacity

the existence of contingency plans

the available reaction time

the degree of redundancy

the ability to implement plans

Macroscopic View Management Layer (MVML)

• MVML is an enabler for

• Global access to flight estimates

• Global access to flight plans and “ground plans”

• Global A/C flight/ground status and key-event tracking

• Global A/C planning status tracking

expected Benefits of a MVML

Common sense and common awareness of planned vs. current flow

Maximum coordinated traffic flow

Optimum use of resources (Airspace, RWY, Taxiway, Stand/Gate)

Predictability (Depth of focus concerning planning intervals)

Stability of Operations req.s (looking up) Stability of Plans

req.s (looking down)Punctuality

minimised domino effects beyond the own area of responsibility

harmonised, seamless transition on all planning intervals

MVML features

• comprehensive information flow

• optimal use of capacity

• no overload of the operators

• automatic coordination

• clear definition of the responsibilities

• common performance specification

• modular and upgradeable

Challenges of integration / optimisation

• the different orientations and philosophies of the stakeholders

• the complexity and diversity of the overall system and

• the dynamism of the current operation in conjunction with

- the integration of multi-phased planning intervals - different time horizons

• a real-time operation evaluation is quite difficult for each operation centre especially because of the non-existence of common evaluation metrics

• an insufficient / non-existent synchronisation of planning intervals and cycle

• lots of “ad hoc planning” operation centres at the airport site
