Abstract

This paper describes an optimisation study concerning arrival trajectories that has been conducted using a recently developed tool for the analysis and design of noise abatement procedures around airports. This new tool combines a noise model, a geographic information system, and a dynamic trajectory optimisation algorithm. The optimisation algorithm generates routings and flight-paths that minimise the noise impact in the residential communities surrounding the airport, while satisfying all imposed operational and safety constraints. The study on arrival trajectories presented herein complements an earlier study involving departure trajectories. Although the numerical results shown pertain to a particular example airport, viz Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the study actually focuses on the development of a generic methodology that could be applied to any given airport. The results clearly demonstrate the effectiveness and flexibility of the developed tool.
