TORCH: برنامه ریزی استراتژیک برای بهینه سازی زمان واقعی

To ensure that available capacity is managed as efficiently as possible, TORCH promotes to exchange more transparently available data to ensure that the distribution of information and decision making is located where it is most effective. This article presents an overview of the work carried out, with the aim of avoiding unstable scheduling delays through open, cooperative management of scarce ATM capacity.

TORCH suggests concentrating on the implementation of new functions that are expected to be available in 2005.New functionalities (e.g., Departure Management) could be implemented initially at major hub airports, then at medium-traffic airports to be finally integrated with Arrival Management Systems. It is not very realistic to believe that all states and all actors will choose identical solutions and implementation timeframes since they have different objectives, political interests and economic power.The results obtained indicate that early implementation of key. features such as improved planning, information management and co-operative re-planning is feasible and would be beneficial to the overall European axiation community. This remains true even if not all States and actors choose identical solutions and implementation timeframes, due to the differences in their objectives, political interests and economic power.Following the work started by TORCH,the European Commission DG-TREN has started the 'GATE TO GATE' programme.Using the results of the TORCH project this programme will add more detail to the Operational Concept towards validation and its implementation.
