Air, Money and Space: How Amsterdam Airport Schiphol Transformed the Region

This paper explores and analyses the change in collective arrangements, such as the changing organizational structure and form of the airport, and its effects and consequences on the spatial and economic development of the airport itself and its surrounding areas at the metropolitan level. We use Schiphol airport as case study, and focus our analysis on three main analytical levels: air (development in the aviation sector), money (economic performance), and space (airport spatial expansion and urban planning). The paper show that new collective arrangements may lead to a radical shift in the position and the power of local actors and hence on the decision making concerning the spatial and economic development of localities (in this case the Schiphol and Schiphol region) and the metropolitan regions

De ruimtelijke metamorfose van Schiphol: van polderdorp naar nevelstad

De geschiedschrijving van vliegvelden en hun metamorfose in metropolitaanse gebieden is onlosmakelijk verbonden met processen van verstedelijking, decentralisatie, economische groei en de ruimtelijke aanwas van steden, buitenwijken en regio’s. Die processen worden niet door enig ontwerp gestuurd, maar door veranderingen in grond-en gebouwengebruik en bewegingen van mensen, goederen, kapitaal, diensten, informatie en de infrastructurele netwerken die de wonende en werkende mens in beweging brengen. Het gaat daarbij om functionele patronen in de bewegingen en transacties die op hun beurt weer invloed hebben op de ruimtelijke structuren, dat wil zeggen de fysieke verschijningsvorm die dergelijke activiteiten ter plekke produceren. In dit (hoofd)stuk willen we inzichtelijk maken hoe de groeistuipen van Schiphol eraan hebben bijgedragen dat het noordwestelijke deel van de Randstad is uitgegroeid tot een bijzonder metropolitaans gebied met een eigen stedelijke structuur en cultuur. Dat verschijnsel hebben we nevelstad genoemd. Hier analyseren we vooral de groeiprocessen zoals die hebben plaatsgevonden in de regio rond Schiphol: in Amsterdam en de Haarlemmermeer. Hier ontstond een verneveling die zich vanaf de jaren zestig over het westen van Nederland snel heeft uitgebreid, tot aan de Brabantse stedenrij toe

Extended ATM for Seamless Travel (X-TEAM D2D)

In the future (up to 2050), physical infrastructure, transport systems, traffic management, operational processes and information systems will be seamlessly integrated. The combination of new emerging transport modes such as extended urban and regional air transport forms (SAT, PATS, UAM), electric and autonomous mobility (road, rail, water) with a passenger-centric view will revolutionize future mobility. A key enabler for this is integrating ATM into overall multimodal transport systems that will provide airports, authorities, transport companies and passengers with common and comprehensive information of the door-to-door (D2D) travel flows. The X-TEAM D2D project explores and analyzes the integration of ATM into the overall multimodal transport system, considering currently available transportation modalities and the emerging transport and mobility forms envisaged for the next decades. Moreover, the X-TEAM D2D focuses on the detailed consideration of Concept of Operations (ConOps) for seamless D2D mobility in urban and extended urban areas (up to regional), understanding the risks and opportunities impacting strategic policy directions. Three time horizons are considered: baseline (2025), intermediate (2035) and final (2050). The developed ConOps will be validated and evaluated against applicable Key Performance Areas (KPA) and Key Performance Indicators (KPI), using a simulation-based platform that considers the most relevant transport elements in the future, such as interfaces mode-mode, high-level network model, passenger-centric paradigm. Furthermore, specific use cases of the D2D journey under different scenarios will be identified. These use cases will be analyzed in depth to validate the ConOps and enable decision support tools

Integrating ATM and air transport into multimodal transport system for Door-to-Door travel: the X-TEAM D2D project proposed approach

The X-TEAM D2D project activities have been successfully concluded in 2022 and delivered several relevant results. First, the project provided the definition of future scenarios and use cases for the integration of the vertical transport with the surface transport towards integrated intermodal transport system and the identification of the resulting barriers. Based on that, the project carried out the design of the ConOps for integration of ATM and aviation, as well as UTM and UAM, in intermodal transport infrastructure and the parallel and cooperative design of the ConOps for the integration of ATM and UTM into overall intermodal service to passengers. The resulting overall ConOps for the seamless integration of ATM and air transport into an overall intermodal network, including other available transportation means (surface, water), to support the door-to-door connectivity has been finally successfully validated by means of dedicated simulation environment setup by the project as well as external experts assessment. The validation results indicated the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed ConOps in achieving its target as well as allowed providing suggestions for its future development and improvement, beyond the project scope

Integrating ATM and air transport into multimodal transport system for Door-to-Door travel: the X-TEAM D2D project proposed approach

The project designed ConOps has been finally validated by the construction of a simulation model of a high-level D2D case study, with the aim of assessing the performances, feasibility and limitations of the ConOps and identifying the areas of improvement between ATM and the different modes of transport. The simulation model included two parts: the regional airport and related addressed surrounding area (namely Brunswick, served by Hannover airport) and the hub airport and relatedaddressed surrounding area (namely Haarlem, served by Schiphol airport). The simulation model maintained the same structure but included different transport options in 2025, 2035 and 2050. The model implemented both the different existing transport options and perspective transfer possibilities compliant with the X-TEAM D2D designed ConOps, using real-life distances (GIS-Based) and reallife travel times (GIS-based) for the existing possibilities. It included moving objects (carrying info), such as passenger groups and transport entities, and static elements (Capacitated nodes), such as transport network and transfer stations

An Outline of A Concept of Operations fFor Integration of ATM and Air Transport into Multimodal Transport System for Door-fo-Door Travel

In the framework of the research activities supported by SESAR JU, dedicated research stream is devoted to investigation of integration of Air Traffic Management (ATM) and aviation into a wider transport system able to support the implementation of Door-to-Door (D2D) travel concept. In this framework, the project X-TEAM D2D (Extended ATM for Door-to-Door Travel) has been funded by SESAR JU under the call SESAR-ER4-10-2019: ATM Role in Intermodal Transport, with Grant Agreement n. 891061. The project aims defining, developing and initially validating a Concept of Operations (ConOps) for the seamless integration of ATM and air transport into an overall intermodal network, including other available transportation means (surface, water), to support the door-to-door connectivity, in up to 4 hours, between any location in Europe, in compliance with the target assigned by the ACARE SRIA FlightPath 2050 goals. The project is focused on the consideration of ConOps for ATM and air transport integration in intermodal transport network serving urban and extended urban (up to regional level) mobility, taking into account the transportation and passengers service scenarios envisaged for the next decades, according to baseline (2025), intermediate (2035) and final (2050) time horizons. In this paper, the outcomes of the first phase of the project activities, aimed to provide the initial definition (concept outline) of the proposed overall ConOps are illustrated, emphasizing the specific activities that have been carried out up to date and the related achievements. In addition, an outlook is provided in the paper on the next project activities, expected to be carried out towards the conclusion of the studies and the validation, by means of dedicated numerical simulation campaigns, of the proposed ConOps
