Surface traffic management complicated by:• Uncertainties• Lack of common situational awareness and coordination• First‐come, first served operations

9/16/13

• 8 major airports – over $2B of excess fuel consumption over 2010 – 2030

• JFK – 15,000 hours of taxi delays per year• BOS – 6,570 hours of taxi taxi delays per year

Intelligent Scheduling is the Key to Efficient Surface Management

• Optimizes at a system level by minimizing overall delay• Plans at a detailed trajectory level for aircraft movement (gate, ramp, taxiways, and runways)

• Uses a fast algorithm suited to real‐time operations• Accounts for departures and arrivals• Connects the airport tower, en route facility, and the airlines

• Adaptable to other airports with different configurations

SARDA is the NASA’s approach for solving this problem.
