Within the scope of Collaborative Decision Making (CDM), this project focuses on a new Collaborative Pre-departure Sequence management system (C-PDS) for outbound flights based on information sharing. It involves:

• Computing off block pre-departure sequence to improve the departure process.

• Optimising the runway capabilities in normal and adverse conditions. 

The project includes the development of a client interface which will allow the airline to accommodate its flight priorities in the CDM system, and obtain TSATs (Target Start-up Approval Time), which better meet its requirements, while respecting the airport and en route constraints.

Benefits

• Reduce airlines delays costs in disrupted situations, without jeopardising airport and network performance.
• Give more flexibility and allow airlines to take their business requirements into account.
