Live-sync and simulation enhancements among highlights of APM‑5

The abil­i­ty to syn­chro­nise offline sched­ul­ing and crew­ing sim­u­la­tions with live pro­duc­tion data is one of a raft of enhance­ments includ­ed in APM‑5 — the lat­est release of APM’s suite of inte­grat­ed mod­ules for avi­a­tion sched­ul­ing, crew­ing, flight­watch and com­mer­cial operations.

The syn­chro­ni­sa­tion fea­ture means that users can eas­i­ly draw on the lat­est live data from APM’s Sched­ule­Plan­ner and Crew­Log­ic as they cre­ate and test sched­ul­ing, crew ros­ter and estab­lish­ment sce­nar­ios using Sched­uleS­im and CrewSim tools.

Live sync is one a num­ber of inno­va­tions, designed to sup­port air­lines’ pur­suit of the mar­gin­al gains that help dri­ve improved oper­a­tional per­for­mance and prof­itabil­i­ty, which is includ­ed in APM‑5.

Along­side live sync, APM has refined the algo­rithm at the heart of its Opti­miser engine, enabling users to eas­i­ly cre­ate and com­pare — using data visu­al­i­sa­tion-based report­ing — mul­ti­ple crew­ing sce­nar­ios that address indi­vid­ual KPIs, such as duty time, while simul­ta­ne­ous­ly shap­ing broad­er, tar­get­ed, KPIs.

Among oth­er high­lights, APM‑5 includes an enhanced fea­ture with­in its Com­mer­cial mod­ule that enables eas­i­er fuel con­sump­tion analy­sis, and an extend­ed Crew­ing mod­ule fea­ture that offers users the abil­i­ty to cre­ate indi­vid­ual train­ing pro­grammes that can be assigned to per­son­al train­ing plans.

These, and oth­er enhance­ments includ­ed in APM‑5, will be avail­able to view first-hand in a 10-minute demon­stra­tion of APM’s suite of mod­ules at the Swiss-based soft­ware brand’s stand at the forth­com­ing IATA Slot Con­fer­ence in Copen­hagen from 20–22 June 2013.

New algorithmic approach generates up to 5 per cent gain in crewing performance

APM’s Dr Nik Eggen­berg will demon­strate how the adop­tion of ‘col­umn gen­er­a­tion’ algo­r­tihms with­in crew sim­u­la­tion soft­ware can deliv­er a per­for­mance improve­ment of between 3–5 per cent when he speaks at AGIFORS’ Crew Man­age­ment con­fer­ence in Frank­furt lat­er this month.

Using evi­dence drawn from real-life air­line case stud­ies, Nik will high­light how an opti­miser apply­ing meta­heuris­tic col­umn gen­er­a­tion, such as that adopt­ed in APM’s crew­ing sim­u­la­tion envi­ron­ment CrewSim, can gen­er­ate greater effi­cien­cies in the iden­ti­fi­ca­tion of crew estab­lish­ments, opti­mi­sa­tion and post-flight per­for­mance analysis.

He will explain that a col­umn gen­er­a­tion-based opti­miser enables users to tack­le mul­ti­ple-objec­tive opti­mi­sa­tion one KPI at a time.

By trans­lat­ing algo­rithms into a dynam­ic user-friend­ly inter­face — with graphs enabling easy iden­ti­fi­ca­tion of the best pare­to-opti­mal solu­tion and post-flight per­for­mance analy­sis — users are able to eas­i­ly iden­ti­fy both indi­vid­ual KPIs, such as indi­vid­ual duty time, that can simul­ta­ne­ous­ly con­tribute to the iden­ti­fi­ca­tion of broad­er, tar­get­ed, KPIs such as opti­mi­sa­tion of block time.

Nik will deliv­er his pre­sen­ta­tion — called ‘A Ros­ter Sim­u­la­tion solu­tion for Opti­mi­sa­tion Estab­lish­ment and Per­for­mance Analy­sis’ — at the AGIFORS event on 18 June.

ScheduleSim and CrewSim unveiled at Slot Conference

APM at Slot Conference

The IATA Slot Con­fer­ence was as busy as ever and a delight­ful oppor­tu­ni­ty to catch up with col­leagues old and new.

Fol­low­ing a peri­od of devel­op­ment, APM demon­strat­ed new mod­ules Sched­uleS­im and CrewSim, in addi­tion to its exist­ing sched­ul­ing, slot sub­mis­sion, flight oper­a­tions, crew man­age­ment and finan­cial mod­el­ling and deci­sion mak­ing tools.

Feed­back from con­fer­ence del­e­gates was pos­i­tive and we look for­ward to dis­cussing Sched­uleS­im and CrewSim fur­ther with those that expressed an interest.

If you’d like to find out more about the soft­ware and sup­port APM offers please email us at info@apmtechnologies.com or call us on +41 22 717 84 99

APM reveals revitalised branding

For over 10 years APM has been work­ing with air­lines, devel­op­ing and imple­ment­ing inte­grat­ed soft­ware designed to help increase effi­cien­cy and profitability.

As we enter our sec­ond decade and con­tin­ue to devel­op the soft­ware we offer, we are evolv­ing our brand­ing to reflect the increased sophis­ti­ca­tion of our offer­ing. We will imple­ment the new brand­ing over a peri­od of time. We con­tin­ue to focus on pro­vid­ing inte­grat­ed air­line soft­ware and sup­port that enables air­lines to increase effi­cien­cy and improve profitability.
