EDGAR – an EU initiative for more efficient and sustainable air traffic. The goal of the EDGAR project is to evolve and validate the DFMC GBAS solution with emphasis on providing safety, availability, and robustness in challenging operational...
In Airspector we are building tools for planning and simulating aerial inspection missions using autonomous drones. Our goal is to make it simple to plan efficient and safe drone paths to inspect any 3D model, to inspect any type of infrastructure in...
In the next 20 years, regional market growth and a greater demand for lower emissions will push regional aviation towards innovative solutions to decarbonise the sector.
Refinery integration, scale-up and certification for aviation and marine biofuels production.
Our goal is to improve the safety on airports through Artificial Intelligence-based assistance. We will achieve this by enabling personnel and AI-based systems to collaborate in identifying and learning from unwanted situations at the apron area of...
The airport owner Avinor plans to develop a decision support system for chemical application on runways. The aim is to make it easier for ground personnel to apply chemicals at the right time and with the correct application rate. The system will...
In the years to come, the aviation sector will have to solve many challenges related to carbon footprint. Airports, knowledge institutions, and industry partners across Europe are now joining forces in the TULIPS project, led by Amsterdam Airport...
A new virtual centre concept enables more flexible organisation of air traffic control operations.
Up to ten times more drone traffic compared to manned aviation is expected by the end of the next decade. SINTEF is preparing for the integration of these unmanned entrants into the shared airspace.
The InterQ European project aims to provide a full control of the quality of industrial manufacturing processes and equipment, moving towards zero defect manufacturing, which is a key challenge in strategic economic sectors, such as aeronautics...
SINTEF’s new planning tool for arrivals and departures enables 5.1 per cent increased runway capacity and improves the predictability of flights by 60.8 per cent.
The goal of the project is to enhance meteorological information, both measured and forecast, for use in novel air traffic management tools supporting enhanced time based and weather dependent separation modes for airport arrival and departure runway...
The project PJ.09, Digital Network Management Services, aims to improve network traffic predictability and shared complexity representation for all demand capacity balancing (DCB), dynamic airspace configuration (DAC), integrated network management...
SINTEF has developed software to enhance the situational awareness of air traffic controllers (ATCOs) in remote towers. Various automation features and techniques support them by improving their spatial and temporal perception.
Cyber security is a key enable for safe Air Traffic Management. SINTEF is part of a team of experts, dedicated to helping European ATM projects to integrate security in their research and development activities.
A new software developed by SINTEF makes it more efficient to plan daily airport operations, reducing delays, aircraft idling and recovery time.
The I-CNSS project was dedicated to developing an integrated communications, navigation and surveillance (CNS) infrastructure. The aim was to support European and global harmonization of CNS between airlines, air navigation service providers (ANSPs...
For biorefined fuels to fully replace fossil carbons, we must identify feedstock sources which are essentially unlimited in capacity and scalability and are independent of agriculture and forestry land use. Here, we propose to use electricity...
