During the coming decades air traffic will increase enormously and therefore also the workload of controllers at airports and air traffic control centers. Barco's arrival and departure management software has been designed to support controllers in meeting the increasingly demanding requirements for safety and efficiency of traffic flow.
Barco's OSYRIS Arrival Manager software increases airport capacity and reduces controllers’ workload by optimizing the traffic flow. OSYRIS helps to make optimum use of the available resources, to make flight operations for the airlines more efficient, to improve flight profiles and avoid holding patterns, thus reducing ecological problems like pollution and noise. OSYRIS automatically determines arrival sequences based on aircraft preferred arrival times and given operational constraints.
The OSYRIS product line also includes a 4D Trajectory Prediction engine for accurate profile calculation, taking into account aircraft type and performance, aircraft weight, airline operating procedures and preferences, meteorological information as well as flight plan information and ATC procedures. This advanced Trajectory Predictor provides active advice for the ATC controllers.
The OSYRIS Departure Manager is based on the algorithms of the Departure Manager prototype from the DLR (German Aerospace Center). This ATM tool supports air traffic controllers to achieve an optimized departure sequence based on selectable planning and optimization strategies.
The newest addition to the OSYRIS product line is the Collaborative Flow Manager (CFM). This automated internet-based application provides airlines with an interface to modify or prioritize planned departure times. CFM is thus a means to avoid airborne delays, resulting in less fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions.
The OSYRIS product line provides a perfect tool set to ensure smooth and efficient traffic flow at major airports. In answer to the ever changing market needs, Barco’s OSYRIS line is constantly being upgraded and extended with new technology.
