Sensis to Develop Managed Gate Operations Tool for Airport Ramp and Gate Operators

Today, excessive delays on the airport surface are often caused by ramp area congestion and limited gate resources. Airlines and airport ramp operators typically only track gate occupancy based on predicted gate-in and out times reflected by the schedule and updates to flight times. Deciding which aircraft are entering or exiting the ramp area, and at what time, is done manually and oftentimes with limited information that inadvertently leads to delays.

The Sensis managed gate operations tool will employ sophisticated algorithms and proprietary airport surface prediction capabilities to provide ramp operators with a recommended order and timing of entry and exit of the gate area based on live surveillance data, airline schedule information, predictions of arrival times at the ramp entry, and external constraints such as any prescribed ramp exit times for departures. The managed gate operations tool will recommend actions such as holding certain flights at the gate to allow others to pass, sending some departures out earlier than scheduled or devising a sequence of movements that best achieves taxi-time reduction goals.

"Our preliminary review of data from a major northeastern U.S. airport indicates approximately 300 in-bound flights a week are delayed more than five minutes while taxiing to the gate," said , President and CEO of NYSERDA. "Sensis has a promising new technology that will not only do all that, but could also make air travel more convenient. NYSERDA is proud to be behind it."

Sensis is a leader in modeling, simulation and analysis of the potential impact of future airspace and airport improvements, and has completed numerous associated projects for NASA, JPDO, FAA and other industry and academic organizations. Through its fast-time and real-time capabilities, Sensis can generate current and future air traffic demand scenarios, provide system-wide, regional, or airport-wide simulations to evaluate current and future air traffic management concepts, and analyze and visualize simulation results. The company also develops decision support tools that help airport stakeholders address key efficiency and capacity challenges.
