摘要: |
The Tower Flight Data Manager (TFDM) is an advanced tower automation system being developed to meet the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) objectives. The TFDM system provides controllers with advanced surveillance and flight data management display systems that will allow them to maintain an integrated picture of the current situation. Controllers and supervisors will also be provided with a suite of Decision Support Tools (DSTs) that provide critical information for assistance in tactical and strategic decision-making. In addition, TFDM will facilitate data exchange between controllers within a tower facility, between Air Traffic Control facilities, and between stakeholders. The capabilities provided by the TFDM system should enable multiple system benefits, such as reduced surface delay, taxi time, and fuel burn (with associated improved operational and environmental performance); better performance during severe weather and other off-nominal conditions; improved usability and situational awareness; and enhanced safety. This document summarizes the analysis efforts undertaken by MIT Lincoln Laboratory to estimate the benefits from the key TFDM capabilities over the 2015-2035 timeframe in support of the Initial Investment Decision (IID) benefits assessment process. |
