Trajectory Optimization under Meteorological uncertainty
Improvement in the ATM system predictability has been identified as paramount to achieve a paradigm shift aiming at enhancing its environmental impact, capacity, safety and efficiency. All ATM system actors, including pilots, air traffic controllers, airlines, dispatchers, air navigation service providers, meteorological offices, and the Network Manager, are daily facing the effects of uncertainty. In order to increase system capacity while maintaining high safety rates and improving overall performance, it is necessary to reduce the levels of uncertainty in air traffic management and, to the extent possible, find new strategies to cope with and ultimately reduce uncertainty.
