The ATD-2 displays will supersede the NASA-developed advisory tools currently in daily use in the D10 TRACON, DFW East and West Air Traffic Control Towers, and the Fort Worth En Route Center Traffic Management Unit. The Dallas Love Field (DAL) Air Traffic Control Tower will also receive ATD-2 displays as part of this revitalization. Initially, the DAL displays will provide the tower controllers with situational awareness of departure demands at DFW and assist them in sequencing DAL departures subject to call for release restrictions. The refresh of the D10 and DFW systems and the DAL display deployment will establish the foundation for Phase 3 of the ATD-2 Field Demonstration, which addresses the challenge of coordinating the use of constrained TRACON airspace resources shared by multiple airports.

Both NASA Ames and Langley Research Centers and DLR's Institute of Flight Guidance have been collaborating for the past five years on Surface Management and Runway Management topics. During the workshop, researchers from both organizations presented their progress, including fast-time simulation of 4D taxi scheduling, validation of 4D taxi concepts via pilot-in-the-loop simulation, and real-time simulation for investigating benefits of a NASA-developed runway management algorithm coupled with DLR's departure management tool (DMAN). Managers and researchers from both organizations also discussed new research topics for future collaboration starting FY18. (POC: Yoon Jung) + Back to Top
