Computer Simulation of Aviation Emissions
We are currently working with the University of New South Wales to develop an accurate computer simulation for modelling the environmental impact of aviation.
This will allow us to measure the improvements made possible by advanced air traffic management techniques.
We work with industry and Government, so that together we can improve the environmental performance of Australian aviation. The computer modelling allows quantitative analysis of the current situation and the options available to improve it.
The Air Traffic Modelling System will establish a baseline of the environmental performance of current air flight, including nitrous oxides, unburned hydrocarbons and greenhouse gas emissions. It will also enable us to analyse the impact of proposed advanced air traffic management procedures.
