Overview:

Overview

The R-WAKE project (Wake Vortex Simulation And Analysis To Enhance En-Route

Separation Management In Europe) aims at developing a simulation framework for

investigation of the risks and hazards of potential wake vortex encounters in the en-route

airspace for current and futuristic operational scenarios, in order to assess the potential

enhancements to the Separation Standards and Separation Management methods in Europe.

The R-WAKE project is funded by the SESAR Joint Undertaking undergrant agreement No

699247 under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovationprogramme.It

addresses the SESAR 2020 Exploratory Research work-programme topic ER-07- 2015 –

Separation Management and Separation Standards, within the area of advanced Air Traffic

Services (ATS).

The first key step in the project is to elaborate and consolidate the high level objective with

experts into a precise definition of research questions and study scenarios, which shall lead to

a proposal of an R-WAKE Concept description and validation strategy.

The second key step is the development the R-WAKEATM Simulation System Framework,

referred in short as the R-WAKESystem, which shall be a realistic fast time simulation and

analysis method and tool to enable the investigation of the research questions of the project

and study several scenarios, that is, to perform R-WAKEconcept validation. The R-

WAKESystem shall be developed by means of the integration of pre-existing simulation

components and tools in the background of the consortium partners: 1) Weather Simulator by

GTD, 2) Traffic Simulator by UPC, 3) Wake Vortex Simulator by TUBS, and 4) Safety and

Robustness Analysis Tools by DBLU.

The third key step is to address the research questions by executing the planned simulations

for the different study scenarios, and to perform the corresponding safety and robustness

analyses. The execution of these simulations and their analysis shall be done in a concurrent

and iterative way, thus generating progressively new Air Traffic Management knowledge in

terms of potential enhancement to en-route separation standards and methods.

A fourth and final key step is an assessment of the proposed R-WAKEConcept in terms of

cost- benefit and technical implementability, from the perspective of Air Traffic Management

performance and the Air Traffic ManagementMaster Plan roadmap, with the potential impacts

on en-route Concepts of Operation, en-route Separation Standards & Methods and

implementation enablers.

Background

EDITION [01.00.00]

22



In the terminal area the dangers of wake vortex encounters are well known and airborne

separation minima defined by ICAO are specifically designed to minimise the underlying

hazards, especially near the runway. Nowadays wake vortexhazard is one of the most limiting

factors in airport capacity, thus many efforts have been madeto find new ways of re-

categorising aircraft according to their wake vortexand new procedures such as Time Based

Separations (TBS) have been designed considering wake vortexbehaviour and duration

allowingAir Traffic Control and flights to be more precise with the synchronisation of the

landing traffic.

In en-route operations the dangers have been traditionally considered negligible since the

probability of a wake vortexencounter has been low up to now andthe severity of a possible

encounter has often low impact. Nevertheless, several factors that may cause the increase of

both the probability of encounter and itsseverity are changing in the context of the Air Traffic

Managementevolution as proposed by SESAR: for the next decades highertraffic density is

expected, as well as more heterogeneity in the aircraft mixand new concepts of operations

may be introduced such as the concept of Free-Routing, or the potential introduction of

continuous operations for all the phases of flight. Thus, in the context of the future Air Traffic

Management proposed by SESAR for 2020+ including Trajectory Based Operations, some

new wake vortexseparation rules and new strategic separation methods for all phases of flight

(in particular for en-route) will be required. They would be integrated in future collaborative

flight-planning and dynamic Demand and Capacity Balance (dDCB) activities at EU-wide Air

Traffic Management network to assure harmonisation between all the stakeholder interests

and the enhancement of all Key Performance Areas of Air Traffic Management of interest, in

particular safety, capacity, Air Traffic Management cost efficiency and flight efficiency.

Proposed Solution

The R-WAKE project proposes a simulation framework to perform trajectory and wake

vortex predictions in order to predict potential severe wake vortex encounters in the en-route

phase of flights across Europe. Such simulations will be used to determine new wake vortex

separation standards and to propose new mechanisms for the effective strategic separation of

traffic.

The high-level architecture of the R-Wake simulation framework consists of four main

modules:

1. Weather Simulator: Generates realistic weather scenarios to feed both the Traffic

Simulator and the Wake Vortex Simulator.

2. Traffic Simulator – Trajectory Planner: Generates and simulates traffic scenarios

based on real or future traffic demand and on weather data fed by the Weather

Simulator. The output trajectories feed the traffic analyser with realistic trajectories.

o Traffic Simulator – Wake Encounter Region Finder (WERF): This sub-

module identifies regions of airspace (volumes) in which potential wake vortex

encounters could occur. Since the simulation of precise wake vortices for all

the ECAC-wide flight trajectories requires a high computational burden, the

simulation of wake vortex will be limited to those regions that have some



23

likeliness of hazardous wake vortex encounter therein. These regions could be

identified by detecting trajectories closer than a certain distance from each

other. The output of this sub-module feeds to the WakeVortex Simulator and

Traffic Planner modules with the regions of risk and with the segments of

flight trajectories crossing such hazardous regions.

3. Wake Vortex Simulator: This module simulates realistic wake vortex transport and

decay given the flight parameters of each trajectory (aircraft mass, speed, path, etc.)

and the weather for the airspace region of interest. As an output for feeding the Wake

Encounter Prediction System, this module will generate a simplified macro-model of

the vortices in which the stochastic behaviour of the vortex (position, size and

strength) can be represented as a 4-dimensional tube.

o Traffic Simulator – WV Encounter Prediction System (WEPS): This sub-

module receives the discrete model of the 4-dimensional tubes from the Wake

VortexSimulator and the trajectory segments from the Wake Encounter Region

Finder system and then crosses all the information to perform a probabilistic

analysis and predict potential encounters. If an encounter is detected, the

system will obtain the expected strength of the vortex and assess the severity

of the vortex in relation to the parameters of the affected flight (aircraft, speed,

geometry of the encounter, etc.). If the severity index is over a pre-defined

threshold the system will give a warning to the Traffic Planner in order to

apply the correspondingseparation measures and also will record the event for

the safety analysis post-process.

o Traffic Simulator – Traffic Planner: This sub-module is fed with the

contextual information of the predicted wake vortex encounters. The system

will propose a new conflict-free traffic planning with a global optimisation

approach. In that way the R-WAKE framework will be capable of providing

due separation for all the flights affected by a wake encounter prediction. The

system will be capable of managing the potential cascading aspects of the

resolution manoeuvres on EU-wide level and to enablea collaborative flight

planning mode, ideally participated by the airspace users, Air Navigation

Service Providers, airports and the network manager. The aim of the tool when

enabled for Trajectory Based Operations is to deliver “optimal/negotiated”

traffic trajectories strategically de-conflicted and collaboratively allocated in

such a way the sector capacities can be increased to support the different future

concept of operations and enhance the current safety and capacity levels.

4. Safety & Robustness Analysis: This module will perform a risk analysis and will

generate knowledge from the results obtained with the scenario simulations. As part of

the knowledge generated new separation standards and methods will be proposed.The

risk analysis will be progressively performed during the project by firstly analysing

scenarios close to the reality of current operations (fixed route structure and flight

levels scheme), passing through intermediate scenarios (e.g. free-routing) up to

simulating and assessing feasible futuristic scenarios in which the levels of demand,

the aircraft mix and the concept of operations will be close to the ones expected and

defined by SESAR 2020+.

EDITION [01.00.00]

24



Expected Outcomes and Impacts

The main outcomes expected in this project are:

1. Development of a wake vortex encounter hazard severity baseline and tolerability

matrix;

2. Development of a simulator for testing different separation standards;

3. A database of simulation results that will provide enough evidence to propose new

separation standards for future research and implementation activities;

4. An evidence-based proposal for either maintaining current separation standards or

adopting new ones; and

5. An assessment of the feasibility and impact of the concept on Air Traffic Management

with an initial validation strategy and outline implementation plan.

The R-WAKE concept is not covered in the current Air Traffic Management Master Plan,

however, if the concept is shown as feasible/beneficial, then it might have a relevant impact

on the SESAR concept since a new operational improvement might be includedin the

programme after the project’s work.

The evolution and results of the research described will be presented in future papers and

conferences thus sharing most of the knowledge generated, which will be available at the end

of the project on behalf of the scientific and practitioner Air Traffic Managementcommunity

and might have a positive impact on the future Air Traffic Managementresearch and

developments projects.

Airspace Sector studies of systemic risk, i.e., frequency assessment. TRS.TP for SER/SAR has to mode of operation: ’historic traffic play’, and ‘synthetic trajectories generation’.

TRS.TP for SER/SAR for ‘historic traffic play’ reproduces the trajectories from traffic files from Eurocontrol DDR2 files. This mode of use has been applied in the EVAIR validation exercise (see D4.3).

TRS.TP for SER/SAR for ‘synthetic trajectories generation’ produced trajectories files based on traffic patterns, using the ATC separation module (aka, Conflict Resolution) developed for the 1st release. Once all trajectories of an input configuration file are generated, all aircraft pairs infringing a given and configurable minimum separation criterion are detected (WERF1 function), and then the trajectory of one of the aircraft is locally modified in order to achieve the separation minima. This is the Conflict Resolution (CR) function.

TRS-WERF

Wake Vortex Encounter Region Finder (WERF) has been split in two parts: one inside TRS.TP (aka WERF-1), and the other inside TRS.WEPS (aka WERF-2).

WERF-1 function inside TRS.TP-for-SAR/SER provides a conservative detection based on WV habitation area parameters, like 5NM in horizontal or 1000 feet in vertical. It represents the function of Conflict Detection of the TRS.TP that activates the WV simulator and the WEPS function.

WERF-2: it a part inside the TRS.WEPS-for-SAR/SER that uses the WV geometry provided by WVS (WVER file 4D tube data) to confirm that the candidate encounter is within the WV-trajectory envelop, and activates the upset computation with the WIAM module, and the severity classification with the Severity Matrix with Upset Parameter Thresholds (SMUP).
