An automated system developed by EU-funded scientists can help air traffic control coordinate departures and reduce the probability of conflicts without reducing air space capacity, while preserving airline preferences.
The PARTAKE Horizon 2020 project applied innovative procedures and technologies to tackle the upcoming air traffic management (ATM) challenges from growing air travel demand. The initiative is funded within the framework of the SESAR Joint Undertaking, a public-private partnership set up to modernise Europe's ATM system.
