Resumen
In the future, a scalable and flexible air traffic management system capable of handling changing traffic is expected. The fundamentals are based on aircraft trajectory management, which will allow airspace users to choose their preferred trajectories, carrying passengers and cargo on time as economically and efficiently as possible. This Final Degree Project (TFG) has been carried out within the framework of the 5th Call of the Scholarship Competition for the development of ideas related to Research, Development and Innovation (R&D) in the field of ATM proposed by CRIDA. The aim of this project is to estimate the fuel consumption inefficiencies of several representative sets of aircraft trajectories, focusing on the analysis of flown (radar track) and planned (flight plans) trajectories that run partially or totally within Spanish airspace in order to compare the fuel consumption between the real trajectory and an optimised trajectory; either by optimising the vertical profile alone, optimising the route using the available airway structure or optimising the route assuming a full Free Route mode. To reach such objectives, in this TFG, two tools (DYNAMO and FARM), provided by the ICARUS research group of the UPC, are used. DYNAMO is able to optimise a flight plan (or trajectory in general) to minimise fuel and CO2 consumption or operating cost taking into account meteorological factors and airspace constraints. FARM allows estimating fuel consumption from an input trajectory (a flight plant or radar track). On the other hand, CRIDA has provided all relevant support and data to the study such as flown and planned trajectories. In order to carry out the study, we have analysed the flights that cross the FIR of Barcelona and the FIR (Flight Information Region) of Madrid on the following dates: from 17 to 23 January 2019, from 1 to 7 April 2019 and from 28 July to 3 August. In order to find the causes of the inefficiencies in the flight, 3 scripts (Large Scale Simulation Manager, Post-process Script and Data Comparison) have been created in this project to show the inefficiency indicators in the daily flights and other relevant comparisons. It is important to note that after analysis of the results, it has been observed that the vast majority of flights are in the inefficiency range of 10-25% (200-450 kg) and the average between 15-20% (300-400 kg). Although in some cases, these results are close to or consistent with other studies, they should be taken with caution due to some existing limitations explained in this TFG.
