NASA’s Collaborative Digital Departure Rerouting (CDDR) Technology

1. 0:23NASA’s Digital Information Platform is creating a digital information ecosystem
2. 0:28to exchange services and provide access to airspace information to enable fuel efficient operations.
3. 0:35This system allows providers to make their services more accessible
4. 0:40and consumers to access information and services they need to optimize their operations.
5. 0:46In this video we will focus on the Collaborative Digital Departure Rerouting service,
6. 0:51which provides airlines with routing options similar to how drivers navigate using cellphone apps.
7. 0:59Even though you know how to get home,
8. 1:01the traffic conditions on the roads can change which route is the quickest and most efficient.
9. 1:06The app will then recommend new routes that are faster and more efficient, even if they are a little longer in distance.
10. 1:15In the sky, flight plans filed by flight operators may experience delays due to weather or increased demand for the same route.
11. 1:23Alternate routes may exist that could reduce potential delays for a restricted route, even though they too may be a little longer.
12. 1:32NASA has developed the Collaborative Digital Departure Rerouting, or CDDR,
13. 1:38service to identify these routes and evaluate their predicted departure delay savings for airlines.
14. 1:46Departures enter enroute airspace through exit points located on the boundary of the terminal area.
15. 1:52Under normal conditions, the capacity of the exit points meets the demand of the traffic while still maintaining safe separation,
16. 2:00much like multiple lanes on a road for cars.
17. 2:03However, when demand is above capacity, due to high traffic volume or weather, departures are delayed on the surface of the airport.
18. 2:11When this happens, passengers will be notified of a delay before they are cleared for take off,
19. 2:17which could last up to 30 minutes after they have boarded and left the gate.
20. 2:21CDDR continuously monitors potential departure delays and evaluates alternate routes to minimize potential delay on the ground.
21. 2:30While the alternate routes are usually longer than the filed route,
22. 2:34a reroute is often beneficial when considering both delay and fuel savings.
23. 2:40Once an airline is notified of a delay saving route,
24. 2:44they can efficiently submit a reroute request digitally to the FAA via the CDDR user interface.
25. 2:52The air traffic control tower is then notified of the request.
26. 2:56The Tower specialists can approve the reroute request
27. 2:59and digitally send the new route to the flight crew so they can make the necessary changes.
28. 3:05While the benefits are easily seen for a single flight, one aircraft’s delay savings will also help subsequent flights as well.
29. 3:14As one flight is removed from the queue for another exit point,
30. 3:18all following flights move up one spot in the queue and delay savings are achieved for more aircraft.
31. 3:24The delay savings from one airport will also benefit flights at adjacent airports
32. 3:29within the same terminal area because they are all using the same exit points.
33. 3:36The benefits of CDDR have been shown in the field with airlines.
34. 3:40Working alongside the FAA and airlines,
35. 3:44NASA deployed CDDR from January 1 through September 16 of 2022 in the Dallas/Fort Worth airspace and generated delay,
36. 3:53fuel, emissions, and cost savings to the airlines.
37. 3:57This technology is addressing the goals of
38. 4:00NASA’s Sustainable Flight National Partnership
39. 4:02today.
40. 4:04Through the Sustainable Flight National Partnership, NASA is engaging with industry, academia,
41. 4:11and other agencies to reduce the environmental impact of aviation by improving operations and developing sustainable fuels and new aircraft technologies.
42. 4:21NASA is working with the FAA to introduce new technology to improve the public flying experience
43. 4:29while reducing delays and emissions from aviation.
