Smart Decision Making for Clean Skies
(Modern Air Traffic Management
and the Environment)
2nd-3rd of July, 2008 UNSW@ADFA, Canberra, Australia
Background | The Conference | Program | Venue | Registration | Contact
Background
While the demand for air transportation is predicted to grow strongly in coming years, there is at the same time a strong pressure to reduce the contribution of aviation to global warming. To meet these challenges the air traffic management system of the future will need to provide increased traffic handling capacity in ways that also reduces the environmental impact of aircraft emissions and noise.
This conference will bring together leading International and Australian Academics with key aviation industry and government agency representatives to exchange recent research findings and practical proposals for future development of the Air Traffic Management system. The conference will focus on the need for smart decision making tools to manage the airspace and reduce environmental impacts.
The Conference
Presentations will describe some of the new concepts and technologies now under development for the next generation of air traffic management systems, how these may contribute to both increased capacity and reduced emissions, and some of the research work now under way to validate these developments.
The conference will be run over two days, on Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd of July. Each presentation will normally be allocated one hour.
