Studies on AMAN/DMAN/SMAN Integration

Integrating the arrival manager (AMAN), departure manager (DMAN) and surface manager (SMAN) is expected to further streamline aircraft traffic management at and around large airports. AMAN/DMAN/SMAN is an integrated sequencing tool that optimizes runway throughput while achieving smooth aircraft traffic flows through the airport under nominal conditions. The tool must also remain resilient during non-nominal events when the airport capacity deteriorates due to various operational circumstances.

Against this background, this study aims to provide a basis for designing AMAN/DMAN/SMAN integration and presents operational strategies that limit the delay time and traffic congestion. The proposed operation will be evaluated in a series of human-in-the-loop simulation experiments targeted during future implementations. We will work with research partners in the European Union and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and system developers in Japan.

Clip art of runway and airplane:Departure and arrival time estimation and Efficient runway operation are related to departure and arrival management. In addition, Managing spot departure time and Reducing taxing time and Mitigating traffic congestion are related to departure management and airport surface management. Reducing taxing time and Mitigating traffic congestion are also related to arrival management.
