community and SESAR stakeholders
through ATM Applications Oriented
topics in SESAR 2020
An Agent-Based Model of Airport Slot
Allocation: the ACCESS project
Ricardo Herranz, Nommon Solutions and Technologies
World ATM Congress, Madrid, 10 March 2016
World ATM Congress - SESAR Exploratory Research (Madrid, 10 March 2016)
Airport slot allocation
• Continuous growth in air transport ⇒ Pressure on airport capacity
• New airports/runways: long look-ahead time, often difficult or
unfeasible (cost, environment, land availability, etc.)
• Need for demand management policies for airport capacity
World ATM Congress - SESAR Exploratory Research (Madrid, 10 March 2016)
Market-based mechanisms
• Administrative slot allocation has been so far the dominant
approach in Europe: Regulation 95/93, based on IATA WSG
• Previous studies commissioned by the EC have identified room for
improvement (efficient use of capacity, competition…)
• Market-based mechanisms have been proposed as a way to bring
incentives so that scarce capacity is used by those airlines able to
make best economic use of it, but they also raise a number of
concerns (e.g., market failures)
World ATM Congress - SESAR Exploratory Research (Madrid, 10 March 2016)
The ACCESS project
• Review of current slot allocation system + stakeholder analysis
• Performance framework for a comprehensive evaluation and
comparison of different slot allocation mechanisms
• Simulation framework based on ABM + auction theory: appealing
framework to overcome limitations of classical approaches from
economics and operations research: multiplicity of dimensions and
stakeholders, complex combinatorial assignment problem,
bounded rationality, evolutionary behaviour, asymmetry of
information, uncertainty…
• Simulation experiments: comparison of primary allocation through
a combinatorial price-setting auction vs current system
• Policy recommendations
World ATM Congress - SESAR Exploratory Research (Madrid, 10 March 2016)
Performance framework
Trade-offs KPAs/KPIs and choice of preferred mechanism:
multi-criteria decision methods (e.g. AHP), CBA, etc.
World ATM Congress - SESAR Exploratory Research (Madrid, 10 March 2016)
ACCESS simulation platform
• Inputs: primary + secondary slot allocation mechanisms
(policies under testing)
• Exogenous variables: demand evolution, airline cost factors
• Agents (attributes + behavioural rules):
– Airports
– Airlines
– Slot allocation coordinator
– Passengers
• Outputs: KPIs influenced by the slot allocation system
– Available slots, slot requests, slot prices, slot allocation, slot use
– Surplus obtained by the airlines, the airports and the passengers

Case study: primary auctioning
• Performance of a combinatorial price-setting Walrasian auction vs
current administrative mechanism in a simplified scenario:
– 2 network carriers (NW1, NW2) + 2 low cost carriers (LC1, LC2)
– 1 hub for each network carrier (HUB1, HUB2) + 2 regional airports (REG1, REG2)
– HUB1, HUB2, REG1: coordinated; REG2: non-coordinated
– Simulation of a single season, only primary allocation is considered
– NW1 holds GFR over 20 slots at HUB1 (10 DEP + 10 ARR)

Discussion of results
• The auction yields a more efficient use of airport capacity. Market
mechanisms seem to have significant potential to enable a more efficient
use of scarce capacity at busy airports
• In the real life, slot transfers, exchanges and trades would improve the
schedules of the airlines. This result is consistent with the fact that the
current mechanism usually needs a number of adjustments, where users
need to interact several times with coordinators to re-build schedules.
The auction would largely mitigate the need for such adjustments
• The extra surplus is not homogeneously distributed among all
stakeholders:
– The increase is relatively bigger for passengers and airports than for airlines
– While some airlines improve their profits, the profit of the airline that enjoyed
grandfather rights in the baseline scenario is reduced.
World ATM Congress - SESAR Exploratory Research (Madrid, 10 March 2016)
A word of caution
• Results are to be taken with caution (e.g., airport costs and non-
aeronautical revenues not included in airport surplus)
• Further simulations required to investigate whether conclusions hold
for more comprehensive cost models and different congestion levels
• A comprehensive evaluation requires the simulation of different
combinations of primary and secondary slot allocation mechanisms
along several seasons
• Market mechanisms also raise a number of technological and
regulatory challenges that need to be taken into consideration
World ATM Congress - SESAR Exploratory Research (Madrid, 10 March 2016)
Conclusions & Future
directions
• Powerful and flexible simulation framework
• A more complex and realistic model calibrated with real data is
needed to provide more conclusive evidences:
– Model enhancement:
• Airport model: airport costs, non-aeronautical revenues
• Airline model: more comprehensive constraints, learning capabilities, revenue
management, behaviours other than utility maximisation (e.g., anticompetitive
practices)
• Full implementation of secondary market
• Calibration with real data
– More comprehensive simulation experiments:
• Larger networks, with higher number of airlines and airports
• Wider variety of scenarios
• Different combinations of primary and secondary allocation mechanisms along several
seasons to explore medium-term and long-term effects

Academia has two major functions in developing the aircraft of the future:
Education and Research & Innovation
According to the Humboldtian model of higher education research and studies
need to be combined in a holistic way.
Education:
• Universities educate the engineers and PhDs required for developing R&I
for the aircraft of the future
• Continuously high demand for human resources
• Significant “pull” from other domains (e.g. automotive)
• Technical and social skills are changing continuously
 Need to work in flexible, international, agile teams
The integration of universities and young talents into innovation processes
will secure the resources of the future

    World ATM Congress- SESAR Exploratory Research (Madrid, 10 March 2016) Discussion of results • The auction yields a more efficient use of airport capacity. Market mechanisms seem to have significant potential to enable a more efficient use of scarce capacity at busy airports • In the real life, slot transfers, exchanges and trades would improve the schedules of the airlines. This result is consistent with the fact that the current mechanism usually needs a number of adjustments, where users need to interact several times with coordinators to re-build schedules. The auction would largely mitigate the need for such adjustments • The extra surplus is not homogeneously distributed among all stakeholders: – The increase is relatively bigger for passengers and airports than for airlines – While some airlines improve their profits, the profit of the airline that enjoyed grandfather rights in the baseline scenario is reduced.
  • 28.
    World ATM Congress- SESAR Exploratory Research (Madrid, 10 March 2016) A word of caution • Results are to be taken with caution (e.g., airport costs and non- aeronautical revenues not included in airport surplus) • Further simulations required to investigate whether conclusions hold for more comprehensive cost models and different congestion levels • A comprehensive evaluation requires the simulation of different combinations of primary and secondary slot allocation mechanisms along several seasons • Market mechanisms also raise a number of technological and regulatory challenges that need to be taken into consideration
  • 29.
    World ATM Congress- SESAR Exploratory Research (Madrid, 10 March 2016) Conclusions & Future directions • Powerful and flexible simulation framework • A more complex and realistic model calibrated with real data is needed to provide more conclusive evidences: – Model enhancement: • Airport model: airport costs, non-aeronautical revenues • Airline model: more comprehensive constraints, learning capabilities, revenue management, behaviours other than utility maximisation (e.g., anticompetitive practices) • Full implementation of secondary market • Calibration with real data – More comprehensive simulation experiments: • Larger networks, with higher number of airlines and airports • Wider variety of scenarios • Different combinations of primary and secondary allocation mechanisms along several seasons to explore medium-term and long-term effects

Editor's Notes

  • #7 Step 1-,2 and 3 – Time Based Operations, TBO-PBO will lead will lead ultimately to these 5 functional changes and aspect of interoperability These changes do not differ from the global ICAO ones Complex highly interconnected system of systems Often there are more reasons put forward for not changing than to actually change An increasing ‘pain’ and reducing ‘gain’ motivates the appetite for change Must deliver more for less, maintain and improve interoperability, ensure seamless global operations while respecting local, European and international regulation Unpredictable disruptive change is blocked - Safety Need vision, buy-in and plan of how to get there
  • #8 Beyond PBO – beyond 2035-2050 To contribute to the European ATM Master Plan towards long term objectives beyond 2035 (i.e. 2050 timescale) To contribute to the identification of innovative solutions not yet identified but which would accelerate the realisation of the SES targets The delivery sustainable healthy research activities across a range of research networks in Europe
  • #9 The SJU manages the SESAR programme - - a unique Public Private Partnership SESAR has enabled Europe to have a stronger impact on global standard setting, which will have positive effects on the competitiveness of European industry. SESAR is leading the global innovation process towards a new ATM system. The common roadmap for the development and deployment of these technologies and procedures, linking them to the SES performance objectives, is the European ATM Master plan. It defines the essential operational changes that need to occur in order to achieve the SES performance objectives and also identifies the related functionalities and the actions that operational stakeholders will have to implement at a given time and place. Exploratory Research Concentrates on early maturity excellent science and initial applications to ATM Uses H2020 open calls Industrial Research & Validation Concentrates on maturing and validating through applied research, pre-industrial development and validation of high benefit applications for ATM Uses an industrial PPP with involvement of all stakeholders Very Large Scale Demonstration Concentrates on taking the concepts and technology to a wider geographic and stakeholder application to reduce deployment risk Uses a mixture of industrial PPP and open calls

  • #11 WP-E is the most diverse WP from all the SESAR work packages. Its objective is to create a healthy European research capability for ATM beyond the SESAR programme, but address the development of applications-oriented research beyond the nominal SESAR timeframe. Towards Higher Levels of Automation in ATM – has the highest number of WP-E projects Mastering Complex Systems Safely in ATM and Enabling Change encompasses projects linked to economics, legal, regulatory aspects
  • #12 WP-E lessons learnt – difficulties WP-E results transfer into the SESAR mainstream workpackages, lack of interest from industrial partners, small projects of 300K work very well, co-funding too, content oriented Gate Reviews work well, Honesty/ transparency on reporting negative research results is essential in order to prevent others to repeat the same research mistakes. Demonstrated the importance of transferring WP-E projects results to the SESAR mainstream program It is essential to realise the concept of a ‘pipeline to innovation’ described in the overall SESAR Programme 2020 and the realisation of important benefits to the SJU stakeholders of transferring Exploratory Research results to the rest of SESAR 2020 program. Limited possibility to pass results at V0 or V1 into the SESAR mainstream programme combined with low level of interest in long-term research from the majority of PPP industrial partners SESAR 2020 Exploratory Research will have to also bring benefits to SESAR SJU Industrial stakeholders . Therefore, the importance of the transfer of ER results to IR in SESAR 2020 is essential
