New publication: “Performance impact assessment of reducing separation minima for en-route operations”

Our paper titled “Performance impact assessment of reducing separation minima for en-route operations”, shows that a separation minima reduction can bring significant fuel savings, flight delay reduction, air traffic controller workload drop, and improve safety. It has been coauthored by prof. Javier García-Heras from the Aircraft Operations Lab UC3M and several researchers from Universidad PolitécnicaContinue reading “New publication: “Performance impact assessment of reducing separation minima for en-route operations””

CNN-based architectures can be used to increase the prediction lead time of thunderstorms

Our latest research shows that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)-based architectures can be used to increase the prediction lead time of thunderstorms in the aviation field. These results are published in the journal paper titled “Thunderstorm prediction during pre-tactical air-traffic-flow management using convolutional neural networks”. A study written by Aniel Jardinesa, Hamidreza Eivazib, Elias Zeab, Javier García-Herasa,Continue reading “CNN-based architectures can be used to increase the prediction lead time of thunderstorms”
