| The increasing complexity of Air Traffic Management (ATM) constraints affects the efficiency of Instrument Flight Procedures (IFPs) for departures and arrivals at busy airports. This study aims to assess how ATM restrictions impact the efficiency and fuel consumption associated with Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs) and Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STARs).
The TFG will be organised in the following tasks: - Procedure management in the software - Cost estimation of the procedures - Assessment of the impact of constraints |

| Overview (resum en anglès): | |
| The optimization and simulation of aircraft trajectories are essential both in research and
in airline operations, where selecting the fastest, most economical, and fuel-efficient route provides significant operational and environmental benefits. Within this framework, the Universitat Polit 'ecnica de Catalunya has developed DYNAMO3, a four-dimensional trajec- tory optimization tool, whose limited support for SID logic reduces the realism of airport departure simulations. This thesis addresses the challenge of accurately modeling SID procedures within tra- jectory optimization systems. These procedures differ from conventional waypoint-based routes by including conditional segments defined through path terminators. To tackle this, a prototype system named SOMA (System for Optimization of Manoeuvres around Air- ports) was designed and implemented. SOMA decodes and reconstructs procedures from Navigraph datasets derived from ARINC 424, performing segment-by-segment integration of path terminators, and simultaneously generating both lateral and vertical profiles while computing fuel-based cost metrics. Implemented in C++, the system also produces visual outputs and supports statistical evaluation of procedure coverage. Case studies at Barcelona-El Prat (LEBL) and Frankfurt (EDDF) airports confirm SOMA's ability to reproduce published SIDs with high fidelity, achieving full interpretability at LEBL and over 80% coverage at EDDF. A large-scale European analysis demonstrates compat- ibility with more than 95% of ARINC 424 path terminators and over 80% of complete SID procedures, while U.S. procedures reveal additional challenges due to vector-dependent segments. The results validate SOMA as a robust and extensible module that enhances the realism, accuracy, and cost assessment of DYNAMO3 simulations. Future work in- cludes extending path terminator support, integrating arrival and approach procedures, and fully embedding SOMA into the DYNAMO3 workflow. |
