  • Abstract
    Performing the paradigm shift to 4D-Trajectory Based Operations will involve several procedural improvements. High planning predictability allows better usage of airspace and dropping some of today´s constraining factors. Efficiency improves by flying aircraft specific optimized procedures. By usage of sophisticated models and planning algorithms, total system´s performance will come close to global optimum. This paper describes a new and powerful way of modeling 4D airspace incorporating traffic, weather, restricted areas and any other objects existing/moving in 4D airspace. The model represents these objects in a way allowing very fast conflict detection and resolution in order to find a feasible and efficient global solution.
