The FAA’s TFM Program Manager, Mr. Mark Novak, led the team, with seven other TFM managers and leads. Ames researchers presented NASA’s TFM work, which included an overview of the Future Air traffic management Concepts Evaluation Tool (FACET) architecture, along with a demonstration of the multiple Traffic Management Initiative (TMI) functionality embedded within FACET. The ATCSCC team requested, and were provided, half a day of hands-on training using the FACET system. They were also given presentations on other work being performed in the Aviation Systems Division, including TMI Cube, Efficient Airspace Operations, Dynamic Weather Routing, and Data Mining in TFM. The visitors, in turn, provided a Traffic Flow Management System (TFMS) Program update, toured Ames experimental facilities, and met with the Airspace Systems Program Director and Deputy Director. Both FAA and NASA parties indicated their intent towards continued collaboration in TFM related areas; the FAA will provide additional access to relevant TFM data for NASA development of TFM algorithms and techniques, and NASA will provide FACET’s multiple TMI modeling functionality.

The PDRC research transition products delivered included: Concept of Operations, Technology Description, and field evaluation results in the form of published papers and pre-prints. NASA has developed PDRC to improve tactical departure operations by enabling the automated exchange of surface information to en route tactical departure scheduling systems. Technology transfer between the two agencies has been coordinated via the Integrated Arrival/Departure/ Surface (IADS) Research Transition Team (RTT). PDRC technology is anticipated to be included the FAA’s Tower Flight Data Manager (TFDM)’s new automation system for tower controllers. NASA’s PDRC research team coordinated directly with FAA personnel from the TFDM Program to ensure that PDRC research transition products are well-aligned with FAA development needs. Updated research transition products are scheduled to be delivered in June 2013, which will incorporate PDRC’s latest research findings. (POC: Shawn Engelland) + Back to Top
