SESAR partner, NATS, is working with European partners in the 4DSkyways project to help predict aircraft flight paths more reliably, which will in turn improve the accuracy of potential conflicts as they are displayed to air traffic controllers (ATCOs) and help airlines adopt the best available routing to maximise environmental benefit and reduce costs. In this blog, Sarah Dow, Advanced Tools & Concepts Lead, describes research into ways to improve the accuracy of flight trajectory prediction and offer enhancements in the detection and resolution of potential aircraft conflicts.
