• Night Optimal Way to Land (Night-OWL): Operational trial at Schiphol Airport for night time operations using the Tailored Arrivals Development Trajectory Prediction function as a Trajectory Management tool un a fixed Terminal Areas routing environment. The project is executed in collaboration with the Knowledge and Development Centre Schiphol (KDC).
• Definition and Development of Tailored Arrivals Development (TAD) tools suite:
• • Trajectory Predictor (TP) (2010-2014)
  • Clearance Generator (CG: Trajectory Management Solution Generator) (2013)
  • Conflict Detection (CD) function for arrival phase (2014)
• Definition of (technical) ATM concept improvements for increased success rate of Tailored Arrival operations at San Francisco international airport for FAA (2009-2010).
• Cost Benefit Analysis for Speed and Route Advisor (SARA) implementation at Toronto International Airport for NavCanada (2010).
• Fuel efficiency analysis of an aircraft operating using the FMS RTA capability in metering context (2011-2012).
• Analysis of downlinked aircraft parameters for NASA Ames (2012).

• Together with all KDC suppliers, define a transition strategy to introduce fixed Terminal Arrival routing in the Schiphol TMA.
• XMAN - Extended Arrival Management: support the LVNL organization to develop a Concept of Operation for an XMAN trial between Reims, MUAC, Belgo control and LVNL, in collaboration with To70. The trial is planned for 2019.
• XMAN - Extended Arrival Management: support the LVNL organization to develop a KPIs for an XMAN trial between Reims, MUAC, Belgo control and LVNL, in collaboration with NLR. The trial is planned for 2019.
• Sensitivity study for high-resolution weather model in Trajectory Predictor for AMAN Schiphol and iCAS iTEC-based system. In collaboration with KNMI, a high-resolution weather model, augmented with Mode-S derived wind and temperature updates, has been developed. FerWay conducted a sensitivity study of the optimum resolution for the weather-grid in the ATM-context. 
• Study for possibilities for use of Aircraft Datalink below FL245 in Amsterdam-FIR, in collaboration with MovingDot (2014).
• Study into the possibilities of the Inbound Priority Sequencing: Airline Priorities, in collaboration with MovingDot (2015).
• Study into Business case for expanding the AMAN radar horizon in collaboration with To70 (2016-2017).
  The study outcome supports the decisions as to how extend the AMAN planning horizon towards support for a full Extended-AMAN operation. One of the key elements in the concept is the use of radar data for Trajectory Prediction. This makes the required radar range play an important role when extending the planning horizon.
• Development of a vision on the role of an X-environment (eXperimental) for the Schiphol sector to demonstrate new technology in a high fidelity environment and in live operations in collaboration with NLR & MovingDot (2017).
  The results will be used to launch the implementation of the X-enviroment.
• Implementation survey for high-resolution weather model in Trajectory Predictor for AMAN Schiphol. In collaboration with KNMI, a high-resolution weather model, augmented with Mode-S derived wind and temperature updates, has been developed. FerWay is conducting a survey of: benefits to be expected for the ATM System at Schiphol and implementation roadmap.
