NASA to save Atlanta Hartsfield
~ NASA/FAA also helping
Atlanta Hartsfield International,

total passengers, is helping its
holiday airline travelers miss fewer
corinections and wait less time for
‘Mtn by using a new airport sys
tem developed by NASA and the
P:gan.l Aviation Administration
(FAA).
Called the Surface Movement
Advisor, the system is primarily a
set of computers and software that
electronically connects informa
tion constantly gathered separately
by three principal entities that
make an airport run—the local
airport’s ramp areas, the airlines
managing thegates, andthe FAA’s
air traffic controllers. This is the
first automated system that dis
tributes each group’s information
to the others. Until now, these
entities only occasionally had ac
cess to each other’s information.
This system makes the airport
run more efficiently by reducing
ground operations bottlenecks,

the system has been in use, it has
reduced airline taxi departure

one minute per t.
this minute by the tbm
daily flights in the whole flow of
o
nario in which passengers
likely miss their flights and will
spend less time waiting.
“There are well over 1,000 daily
departures from Atlanta
Hartsfield. That's at least 1,000
minutes a day, or at least $40,000
to $50,000 a day saved in airline
direct operating costs. That trans
lates into an annual savings at
Hartsfield of sl6 to S2O million in
direct operating costs,” said
NASA’s manager for the project,
Dr. Brian Glass. This means that
savings could soon translate into
cheaper air fares for travelers.”
The FAA selected Atlanta
Hartsfield International Airport
in 1995 as the field test site for the
system. In June 1996, Delta Air
Lines, the nation’s largest airline

Delta operates nearly
per day from Atlanta Hlm:
which serves as its largest hub.
“With the introduction of this
system at Hartsfield, our service
has improved, which is very im
fonant for the lndulu; as well as
or the FAA,” said Bill Drew,
Delta’s Air Traffic Control Sys
tems manager.
“From an lnduntz standpoint,
this system helps air traffic
community, airline community
and airport community interact
better together and make better
collaborative operational deci
sions,” explained Dennis Lawson,
the FAA's Surface Automation
Research and Development Team
lead.
The system was designed by en
g:neen at NASA’s Ames Research
ter, Moffett Field, Calif, in
collaboration with FAA engineers,
air traffic controllers, and airline
and airport management staffs.
