A-CDM – Advanced Collaborative Decision Making
CDM is the exchange and use of information among airport stakeholders with the objective to improve the overall efficiency of operations.
delair’s Advanced-CDM product suite is fully align with the Eurocontrol Airport CDM approach. A-CDM consists of several modules which can be combined and related to the different CDM levels defined by Eurocontrol. Several highly sophisticated optimisation tools like arrival and departure manager and resource manager can be used.
The A-CDM platform has been implemented and successfully used in Zurich since 2003 and in Frankfurt in 2007. The quality of A-CDM has been testified by Eurocontrol in 2005 when Zurich Airport was nominated as the most advanced CDM airport in Europe. The achieved benefits in Zurich and Frankfurt are:
- additional capacity (1-2 additional movements at peak hours)
- reduced fuel costs (1.5 mio EUR/a – 2.7 mio EUR/a)
- reduced environmental impacts (3.600 t CO2, 34 t CO, etc.)
