Overview
Background & policy context:
In 2007, Germany showed a strong growth in the aviation sector. In comparison to the European Union, the growth rates were above the average. The growth rates were limited by slow development of the airport infrastructures. To reduce stress in a long-term perspective, infrastructure projects are necessary.
Objectives:
It is the objective of the WFF project to establish a consistent planning process without contradictions at German airports. Therefore, it is necessary to close gaps in the planning process and to link up existing planning and guiding systems with the following actions:
- Integrated optimization of the airport processes
Development of the required systems
Demonstrate the ability and advantage of an integrated system
The project is in line with the central objectives of the Federal research programme aeronautics “LuFo IV”:
- Environmentally friendly air transportation
Increase in transport performance
Safety and passenger comfort
Secure/Increase competitiveness
Methodology:
The WFF project is divided into 3 clusters:
- “take-off and landing”
“taxi: management and optimization systems”
“Turnaround”
