Strategy and Concept Development
My educational background is from IT, computer science with human user aspects, which then lead to 12 years of experience within the airport and aerospace sector. I have a good mix of technical and operational knowledge to see current limitations, future solutions and everything in between. I strongly believe that a holistic approach and transparency between silos, systems and stakeholders can help the industry to see where they are today, and an active approach towards existing challenges can help them go where they need to go in order to manage existing and upcoming challenges in traffic constrains and profitability.

An operational approach to airport performance

System Integration to beat airport congestion

ADB SAFEGATE APPROACH. Every airport is different. One solution will not fit all. Every solution must be tailored to each airport’s demands, environment and business objectives. We know that existing infrastructure often contains hidden and unused capacity that can be released with a holistic view of the airport. ADB SAFEGATE applies an advisory, consultative approach to creating the right solution.

Our aim is always to propose a cost effective way to resolve an airport’s most pressing challenges, quickly and smoothly. This can encompass every aspect of air traffic control and guidance, from approach, runway and taxiway lighting to tower-based traffic control systems, to intelligent gate and docking automation. We use an operational view to optimize airport performance and customer success.

Six-step program tailored to optimize airport performance

Our operational approach analyzes an airport’s current situation and aims to create a future-proof solution that boosts aircraft movements safely and optimizes airport efficiency. We accelerate airport performance around efficiency, sustainability and safety, by analyzing, recommending and delivering the right mix of intelligent operational and technical solutions and services for the tower, airfield and gate.

ADB SAFEGATE 6 steps approach

Every solution must be tailored to each airport’s demands, environment and business objectives. We know that existing infrastructure often contains hidden and unused capacity that can be released with a holistic view of the airport.

CORSIA: Part 1 – Best Solution?

CORSIA: Part 1 - The Solution?

SUSTAINABILITY. The Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) aims to contribute to the industry’s commitment to carbon neutral growth from 2020 (“CNG2020”). With commitment from several major players in the industry, a framework of impact mitigation for aviation-sourced greenhouse gas emission levels is taking shape. Slowly.

How an integrated approach reduces taxiing time by thousands of hours

An integrated approach increases Airport performance

INTEGRATION: Aircraft only make money for their airlines when flying and transporting people and goods. Airports also don’t want an aircraft on the ground for longer than necessary – that space and time could be occupied by another aircraft, making the most of the airport’s capacity. It’s no wonder that airports are increasingly turning to automation and information management systems to improve efficiency and safety and support Air Traffic Control (ATC).

A-VDGS role in future operational concepts

A-VDGS's role in future operations

The Pilot Common Project (PCP), defined by SESAR in order to allow large airports in Europe to handle increasing air traffic, will require certain functionalities of traditional Air Traffic Management systems. Several of the new functionalities are a result of integration and how this should be fulfilled can be interpreted differently. Choosing an Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System (A-VDGS) to support the requirement for future operational needs is an imperative. In this article we highlight some of the important functionalities.

3 Reasons to Consider Modernizing ATCO Working Positions

Integrated ATC working position

The market trend towards modernizing ATCO working positions through ATC system and display integration is a growing topic in the industry. With multiple numbers of screens, mimic panels and other input devices cluttering and even complicating their work, the air traffic controllers are forced to create a mental image of the total situation on the airfield, despite the multitude of tools on the Air Traffic Control (ATC) console. Today, the market is realizing there is a better way that has significant advantages. Continue reading

Bridging the separate processes traditionally present at airports

Integrated Controller working position

Since the early days of aviation, air traffic controllers (ATCO) have suffered from a high number of screens, mimic panels and multiple input devices. The controller is forced to create a mental image of the total situation on the airfield and take appropriate action based on this mental image. With thousands of flights each day this is a very challenging task and the controller will not always be able to make the most optimal decision.

One Airport – One Process: ATCO Predictability & Awareness Improved By Active & Visual Flight Crew Guidance

One Airport - One Process - One Partner

Today’s Airports contain a complex network of stakeholders. Often these stakeholders have efficient management and communication strategies within their respective departments. However, inefficiencies that hamper productivity and performance can be created when these stakeholders interface with other departments and external organisations. If a holistic approach is to be implemented, a philosophy of One Airport – One Process needs to be adopted.

Light the Way

flight

Many of today’s airports were constructed and put into operation during the 1960s and 1970s, in a period when jet aircraft were only just being introduced and air travel was booming. The usual way to increase capacity is to look into the construction of additional infrastructure. However, quite often the existing infrastructure is used in an inefficient way and contains hidden and unused capacity. Airports can increase capacity and reduce aircraft fuel burn through the efficient use of airfield ground lighting and advanced visual docking guidance systems.
