Total Airport Management (TAM)
TAM is aiming at the optimal use of airport resources by means of enhanced coordination of the airport processes. The Airport Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) intensifying the exchange of information between the individual actors of air traffic is the basis of the TAM-concept. CDM focus on the area of flight control processes.

Clean Sky Technology Evaluator
The „Clean Sky Technology Evaluator“ is a subproject and main action item of the “Joint Technology Initiative (JTI) Clean Sky”. In the scope of this European Mega-Project (total budget 1.6 billion Euro) by means of six so-called „Integrated Technology Demonstrators“ (ITD) more sustainable aviation technology for the next generation of aircrafts featuring fixed or rotating wings is to be developed and validated until 2015. |

Network AERONET III - Aircraft Emissions and Reduction Technologies
25 partners from 9 European countries are members of AERONET. They rank among industry (aircraft and engine builders, aviation and oil companies, airport operators), universities and research institutes and join the European thematic network, aiming at the reduction of emission caused by air traffic and its impacts on the climate by concentration and coordination of science competence, research and industry. |

Environmentally Compatible Air Transport
The „Network of Excellence“ Environmentally Compatible Air Transport System is supported by the European Commission in the scope the 6th research framework programme. Within the network 13 European research centres are cooperating as to the issues of the environmental impacts of air transport. The DLR-institute Air Transport and Airport Research contribute to the network by supplying extensive scenario-competence in the area of the global air transport development. |

Aeronautic Study on Seamless Transport
ASSET is a project within the Seventh European Framework Programme whose multinational consortium is coordinated by the German Aerospace Centre. Against the background of insufficient punctuality of the European air transport system which is mainly resulting from the high variance in offblock times, entailing poor predictability and costly time buffers, ASSET aims at the development of integrated solution scenarios for the optimisation of airport ground processes, comprising passenger-, baggage- and aircraft turnaround processes. |

PROJECTS WITH ADVANCED AIR-RAIL PASSENGER INTERMODALITY – THE CASE OF GERMANY
As to the severely growing capacity bottlenecks on European hubs, often a better integration of the various means of transportation is required. One goal is the linkage of high-speed train networks with airports. Germany is considered to be a pioneer for the integration of air traffic and railways. Eleven of the major airports are connected to the railway network of Deutsche Bahn AG (DB). Four airports are linked with the long haul network of DB. The linkage of Frankfurt airport with the newly constructed route Cologne-Rhine/Main, which has been inaugurated in August 2002 is of particular importance. In 2003 the special service „AIRail“ jointly provided by Lufthansa, Deutsche Bahn and Fraport, has been started. This service allows passengers from Cologne and Stuttgart to check-in for their flights departing from Frankfurt on their station of origin. |

Integrated Modelling of the Air Transport System
Research is focusing on the project „Integrated Modelling of the Air Transport System“ as well as on the impacts on the physical environment and its interaction with the societal environment. Superior goal of the project is setting up a toolbox, which allows for the model-technical realisation of the entire process chain starting from the traffic generation to environmental effects for the air transport sector. |

Observatory of the Air Transport Market
For three years (2007 to 2009), DLR has been assigned the task of Official Monitoring Institution of the European Aviation industry by the European Commission (Head Office Energy and Transport).
The annual reports give an overview on the development of the entire air transport industry in Europe and have become a vital basis of information for decision makers in politics and economy. |

Regional Spread of the Air Transport Demand
Although official statistics give detailed information on traffic flows there are no precise details on the description of demand structures. Therefore, within regular intervals passenger surveys are performed on all German airports. |

Emission-related Landing Fees
During take-off and landing aircrafts emit pollutants such as NOx (nitrogen oxides) and HC (unburnt hydrocarbon). Both pollutants are precursor substances of the so-called summer-smog and are considered to contribute – in addition to other emission sources – to local environment problems in the vicinity of airports. In order to restrict these pollutants emission-related landing fees for the first time have been charged at selected German airports in January 2008. The implementation of these fees aims at the improvement of the local air quality on German airports. |

Inclusion of Air Transport in CO2 Emission Trading
International air transport plays an essential role for economic growth and the prosperity in our globalised and work-sharing world. However, air transport like other means of transportation causes gaseous emissions with local and global effects as well as noise emissions. The globally effective emissions of international air transport are most probably contributing to the anthropogenic change of climate.
