Integrated Demand Management
Project Description
Integrated Demand Management (IDM) develops requirements and procedures, validated through high-fidelity experiments, for an integration of near- to mid-term NextGen traffic management capabilities to improve NAS performance when the capacity of critical resources is inadequate to meet demand. Under IDM, strategic Traffic Flow Management Systems (TFMS) tools are used to pre-condition traffic into the more tactical Time-Based Flow Management (TBFM) system, enabling TBFM to better manage delivery to the capacity-constrained destination. Coordinated traffic flow management across multiple airspace, airport, and weather constraint bottlenecks improves throughput and schedule predictability while reducing delays and enabling user-preferred trajectories.
More »Anticipated Benefits
• Reduce delays, increase throughput and predictability of the capacity of major high-volume resources to meet air traffic demand, especially during significant weather events. • Increase the effective utilization of the available airspace and airport capacities through efficient demand management. • Enable the use of airline-generated trajectories and automated trajectory negotiations during pre-departure phase of flight
