Dynamic Noise Avoidance Routing Through Terminal Airspace

Air Traffic Control Decision Support for Integrated Community Noise Management

“…Although only altering arrival management tools cannot offer all of the benefits as previously identified, it can be seen as a step in the right direction in the absence of the technology required for 4DT. The remainder of this paper will focus on research done concerning an arrival management model where noise and efficiency are considered simultaneously (Hebly, 2007). Please note that it is not designed or build to function as an operational arrival manager, but purely to study the effects of adding noise objectives to the otherwise delay driven support tools for sequencing and scheduling, and to identify the interaction between the noise and efficiency objectives.…”

“…These tools are capable of generating advisories that respect separation requirements and minimize delay. A suggestion has been made to inject noise related information into the current constraint resolution and scheduling logic, to create a system that is capable of generating advisories with respect to both delay and noise (Capozzi et al, 2002(Capozzi et al, , 2003. The resulting concept is called the Noise Avoidance Planner (NAP).…”
