The Route Optimization and Mitigation
Analysis (ROMA) tool has been used in support
of airspace design projects by allowing the designer
to consider optimal routes for noise reduction goals.
ROMA technology has been successfully used at several
airports – most notably in the Denver area.
Most often airspace design is carried out independently
of environmental considerations. ROMA allows the
airspace designer to design new routes that take
into account factors such as efficiency, safety,
controller workload and environmental concerns.
ROMA additionally relieves the designer from the
workload associated with the generation and evaluation
(for noise reduction) of alternative routings within
the design space.
Example of alternative
routings in a design space generated by ROMA
ROMA was successfully used during airspace redesign efforts at the Denver, Centennial, Jeffco and Buckley airports. Prior to that ROMA technology was embedded in the Airport Community Noise Impact Model (ACNIM) that closed the loop from alternative routing evaluation to redesigned routes using the Integrated Noise Model (INM). The primary goals of these optimization efforts were focused on reducing the number of people in areas experiencing noise about 55dB.
