AIRPORT COLLABORATIVE DECISION MAKING What is A-CDM? Agent Based Simulation Framework for Airport 4 Collaborative Decision Making

Airport Collaborative Decision Making basics • Sharing timely and accurate flight, network and airport data Agent Based Simulation Framework for Airport • Use standard systems, procedures and data structure Collaborative Decision Making Objectives: Improve predictability and efficiency of the system • Anticipate situations and facilitate better decision • in advance 5 Garcia Vasco, Prats, Valero, Delgado ICRAT ’14

CDM in Europe and in the U.S. European A-CDM CDM in the U.S. • Shared decisions between Air • Defined by EUROCONTROL Agent Based Simulation Framework for Airport Traffic Providers and the Aircraft • Shared Information between all Operators the stakeholders involved in • Used during Ground Delay airport operations Programs (ATFM) Collaborative Decision Making • Focus on improve the efficiency • Focus on the improvement of the and prediction of Turn-Around assigned delay when airlines do process cancellation and substitution • Part of SESAR Master Plan • Fully implemented and operative 6 Garcia Vasco, Prats, Valero, Delgado ICRAT ’14

Milestone Approach Turn-Around Process divided in 16 milestones Agent Based Simulation Framework for Airport Collaborative Decision Making 13 Garcia Vasco, Prats, Valero, Delgado ICRAT ’14

Why develop a simulator?  Many actors involved with different behaviours and interactions Agent Based Simulation Framework for Airport  Actual effect on daily operations of the A-CDM implementation for a specific airport is hard to Collaborative Decision Making quantify  Simulation framework will help to evaluate the impact of using different strategies 14 Garcia Vasco, Prats, Valero, Delgado ICRAT ’14

Agent Based Modeling 15 Agent Based Simulation Framework for Airport Collaborative Decision Making

Why using ABM? Part of the complex science Stakeholders  Agents modelled independently • Agents run autonomously and interact via messages • Agent Based Simulation Framework for Airport Important goal: capture the interactions between agents • Collaborative Decision Making - Example of interaction capturing - Arrows  Messages between agents 16 Garcia Vasco, Prats, Valero, Delgado ICRAT ’14

Modelling and Programming GAIA Methodology JADE • Models of Roles and interactions to • Framework to implement the agents Agent Based Simulation Framework for Airport define the agents • Java middleware for agent oriented platforms Collaborative Decision Making • Communications  FIPA specifications 17 Garcia Vasco, Prats, Valero, Delgado ICRAT ’14
