Orthogon delivers Trajectory Prediction Component to Nav Canada
In December 2001 Orthogon AG delivered its Trajectory Prediction Component O4D to NAV CANADA, the private, not-for-profit company that owns and operates the Canadian Civil Air Navigation Service. O4D is a major component of NAV CANADA's new Sequencing And Scheduling System (SASS) to be used at the airports of Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary.
Brent Crossfield, NAV CANADA's Manager, Air Traffic Flow Management Systems, says: "We have selected O4D because it is an operationally proven and very flexible software including all features for the exact calculation of trajectories and for the generation of additional advisories. O4D allows us to save development time and to improve the service quality for our airline customers. "
Using all relevant data (radar tracks, flight plans, aircraft performance data, meteorological data) O4D will provide precise trajectory calculations and advisories for the improvement of airspace capacities and the efficient use of airlines' resources. O4D includes an interface to Eurocontrol's BADA model that offers a high coverage of aircraft types. With its flexible software concept O4D can be easily configured and adapted to changing requirements, e.g. change of airspace structure.
Orthogon is one of the leading international suppliers of software and hardware components for air traffic control.
