This deliverable presents the results from the analysis of the model executing the investigative case studies. The document focuses on the validation activities and the results for the three mechanisms modelled in Domino in the unitary case studies.
The three mechanism are: 4D Trajectory Adjustment, which focuses on the use of dynamic cost indexing and wait-for-passengers rules; Flight Prioritisation, which considers the possibility of slot swapping at ATFM regulations; and Flight Arrival Coordination, which models different optimisation approaches E-AMAN could consider. Each mechanism has three levels of implementation: Level 0 (with current capabilities), Level 1 (with more advanced features) and Level 2 (more explorative). The traffic is set on a given day (12 September 2014) considering flights and passengers’ itineraries. Two levels of delay are considered: default and stressed. In total 14 scenarios have been modelled and analysed.
This deliverable presents the use of classical and network metrics (centrality and causality) on the outcome of the whole European level agent-based model. The model still requires further development and adjustment, but results show that it is already capable of capturing complex interactions among the ATM elements. Finally, the network metrics are already presenting their potential to capture non-direct interactions between elements in the system.
The results have been shared with experts and airspace users at two workshops. The feedback obtained and the results of the analysis and validation activities will be considered for the final version of Domino.
