Departure flow control through takeoff sequence optimisation: Setup and results of trials at Athens airport

The paper at hand gives a short overview on "DMAN" (Departure Management System), also in the context of Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM). It describes the CADEO-tool (Controller Assistance through Departure Optimization), which was used to support the trials at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos Airport. The passive and the active trails, which were performed with a core team of six Air Traffic Controllers, are described, results analyzed in form of data and human factors impact assessment. It can be said, that taxi times were reduced, controller training was very effective and that the way opened shall continue with full implementation in the foreseeable future.
