ATC (Air Traffic Control) / ALV
Download the presentations of the lectures under 'Documents'.
Description
Two presentations on ATC will take place after the ALV of the KIVI Aerospace Engineering Section.
SPEAKERS
**Hans Offerman joined the NLR, flight simulation department, after studying Aerospace Engineering at TU in 1987. Here, his work included the development of the Fokker 100 cockpit concept and the F-16 Mid-Life Update. After this, Hans started research in the field of air traffic control, initially with the Airports department after which, at the end of 2001, Hans became responsible for the Air Traffic division.
In 2006, Hans transferred to Air Traffic Control the Netherlands (LVNL), where he became responsible for LVNL Research & Development and ATM system strategy and performance. From his international network, the first steps were taken to connect with the European ATM R&D programmes, such as SESAR and the development of the Functional Airspace Block Europe Central (FABEC).
In 2010, together with two former LVNL colleagues and engineering firm ADSE, Hans decided to set up the consultancy MovingDot. Now grown to a firm of 12 experts, MovingDot specialises in supporting governments, airports and air traffic control organisations with consultancy and engineering in the field of Air Traffic Management.
**Jacco Hoekstra, after getting his pilot's licence as an LR student, and after a short excursion into ICT, started working at NLR in the Flight Simulation & Flight Characteristics department. He got his PhD on a study for the FAA, RLD and NASA on the possibility of placing the responsibility of separation during cruise flight entirely on the pilots. During this Collier Trophy-winning ADS-B research, among others, he also developed the algorithms, avionics, displays and simulations needed for this. At NLR, he subsequently held various positions including department head of both the training, simulation and human factors departments.
While at NLR (succeeding Hans Offerman!) as head of the Air Transport division, he was asked at 39 to become dean of the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft. After two terms as dean, since 2013 he has been chair of Communication, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) at the same Control & Simulation section where he graduated 23 years earlier with Bob Mulder as graduate professor
Speaker(s)
Hans Offerman
During his presentation, Hans will mainly focus on the operational side of air traffic control and how this is shaped worldwide. Practical examples will show that in addition to political will, strong technological innovation is needed to enable the future growth of air traffic. Jacco will then explore this in more depth with his TU research.
Jacco Hoekstra
As chair, his main focus is on better understanding air traffic as a system as well as air traffic control systems, both on the ground and in the cockpit. On this evening, he will once again succeed Hans Offerman, elaborating on these research themes and illustrating them, among other things, with work by his graduates and PhD students.
