Global, continuous, low-latency, and high performance surveillance of aircraft via Space-Based ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast) is an emerging technology for the aviation industry. The Iridium-NEXT Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, which will host the Aireon ADS-B receiver payloads, will begin launching in 2015 with all 66 operational satellites in their mission orbit by 2017, gradually replacing the current Iridium satellite constellation and enabling the global ADS-B surveillance services of Aireon [1-3].Prior to launch, a series of system and receiver models, simulations, and studies were produced in order to estimate metrics of this unique surveillance system such as the expected ADS-B aircraft position update interval. To assess whether the required update intervals for providing aircraft separation services will be achievable, the density of aircraft and other 1090 MHz in-band transmitters must be taken into account with respect to the large satellite beam footprints as a function of time and space (particularly near coastal areas where air traffic is most dense). This work describes a model for calculating the expected impact of aircraft density, mixed avionics equipage, and satellite motion on the ADS-B update interval performance for wide area space-based receiver systems. Additionally, several examples of expected performance based on the model are characterized in various Flight Information Regions (FIRs).

“…Longitudinal separation between two aircraft in the same track becomes 2 minutes, instead of 10 minutes when the two aircraft are consecutive on the same track, and 3 minutes instead of 15 minutes, if an aircraft changes its track. Further informations and details about the fonctionalities of ADS-B systems are given in [3,4] III. RELATED WORK In the literature, several works deal with the problem of improving aircraft situation over the oceanic airspace.…”

Air traffic across the North Atlantic airspace has witnessed an incessant increase over the last decades. However, the efficiency of transAtlantic air traffic management is still low nowadays due to the limited radar coverage. The availability of Automated Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast systems represents an opportunity to enhance the strategic flight planning over the oceans by reducing the separation standards. Besides, oceanic flights are subject to very strong winds. Flying wind-optimal route yields to a significant fuel and time savings. In this paper, we propose a new transAtlantic route structure that benefits from the jetstreams in order to construct windoptimal flight trajectories. Then, we introduce an optimization model for detecting and resolving conflicts. The analysis is carried out on real traffic data to prove the efficiency of the developed method. Experimental findings show that our approach provides encouraging results in terms of conflict resolution and induced delays.

The North Atlantic Airspace (NAT) accommodates traffic between Europe and North America. This area is considered as the most congested oceanic airspace in the world. Radar-Based surveillance is not applied in the most of the oceanic area due to its limited coverage. So, aircraft become obliged to follow predefined routes called Organized Track System (OTS). These routes require very restrictive separation standards which limit the traffic of aircraft. Thus, a new kind of communication system, called Automated Dependence Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B), has been introduced in order to afford the aircraft a reliable communication with both controllers and surrounding traffic. Hence, aircraft crossing the NAT will be able to follow more flexible routes, which will improve significantly the air traffic situation over this area. In this paper, we propose a strategic planning 1 model that overcomes the constraints of the OTS system in order to produce the closest routes to the direct ones of aircraft. This method is based on flocking boid model. It provides us with satisfying results on a portion of one day traffic over the NAT airspace.
