SESAR Innovation days celebrates scientific excellence
From the 26 -28 of November, the SESAR (Single European Sky Air Traffic Management Research) Joint Undertaking (SESAR JU), held its annual SESAR Innovation Days event at the KTH Royal Institute for technology in Stockholm, Sweden. The three day event celebrated scientific excellence through a series of workshops and research exhibitions and provided the backdrop for the award ceremony of the 2013 SESAR Young Scientist Award.The event welcomed 175 participants who joined three productive days of discussing scientific research progress and results through presentations, information exchange, workshops and self-discovery. The SESAR JU and its guests were kindly hosted by the Royal Institute of Technology, KTH Sweden, represented by Eva Malmstrom-Jonsson, Deputy President, and Professor Lena Mårtensson, Department of Industrial Economics and Management,who is also Chair of the SESAR JU Scientific Committee. “The Royal Institute of Technology,KTH, is delighted to support the SESAR Innovation Days. The event provides a unique platform whereby young ATM academics can connect and ensures that their knowledge, complementary work and positions can best support fellow academics in a very practical way” said Lena Mårtensson on opening the conference.
Professor
Jacco Hoekstra, from TU Delft
, with a future-looking keynote speech entitled ‘Change is in the Air’, speculating on the future of ATM Research. The event built on this opening, with sessions presenting research work on Enabling Change, Complex Systems, Airports, Resilience, Trajectory Management, Network Management, Human Factors and Safety, as well as special focus sessions on Remotely Piloted Air Systems (RPAS) and on delivering innovation from a Remote Tower perspective.- Deterministic and stochastic optimization for heterogeneous decision phases in the air traffic domain
- Integration of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems into non-segregated airspace
- Commercial aircraft trajectory optimization based on multiphase mixed integer optimal control
- A framework to assess the ability of automation to deliver capacity targets in European airspace
- Complex Networks and Data Mining: Toward a new perspective for the understanding of Complex Systems
Manuel Soler
, for his work on ‘Commercial Aircraft Trajectory Optimization based on Multiphase Mixed Integer Optimal Control’; his work being recognised for its innovative modelling and interdisciplinary solution approach to the trajectory modelling problem, as well as strong engagement with European Research Centres and with the USA.www.sesarinnovationdays.eu
The planning for next year’s SESAR Innovation Days has already started and will take place in Madrid in 2014
