Alternate Route Availability Tool (ARAT)

Mosaic ATM’s Alternate Route Availability Tool (ARAT) brings the future of air traffic management to life by integrating real-time Traffic Management Initiatives (TMIs), weather data, and advanced machine learning models to provide airlines and air traffic controllers with alternate flight routes that reduce delays, save fuel, and improve operational efficiency. 

ARAT fully integrates with NASA’s Digital Information Platform (DIP), utilizing the NAS TMI Service to access up-to-date restrictions published by the FAA. The tool then adds weather-related constraints and publishes the information on the Platform to enhance coordination between airlines and air traffic control for faster, smarter rerouting decisions. 

Ideal for commercial airlines and air taxi services, especially those flying shorter, weather-sensitive routes at lower altitudes.

Helps optimize flight paths, reduce delays, and save on fuel costs.

For Air Traffic Control & the FAA 

Empowers air traffic controllers, including the FAA, to make more informed decisions based on real-time data.

Enhances their ability to manage flights impacted by weather and TMIs.

Key Features

ARAT offers cutting-edge features that deliver even greater benefits for flight planning: 
  • Enhanced Wind Miles Model: The integration of Mosaic’s Wind Miles Model allows ARAT to precisely calculate the impact of flight altitudes on both current and alternate routes, giving flight planners the most accurate time and distance estimates. 
  • Real-Time Alternate Route Recommendations: ARAT delivers optimized alternate routes using live weather data and TMIs, enabling efficient rerouting for scheduled and on-demand flights. 
  • Seamless NASA Technology Integration: ARAT accelerates the use of NASA technologies, including ATD-2 and DIP, to offer the most advanced flight planning and rerouting capabilities available today. 
  • Delay Prediction with AI: ARAT’s machine learning models predict delays due to weather and TMIs, providing airlines and air traffic controllers with alternate routes that minimize disruptions and optimize fuel use. 

Why ARAT?

Reduce Delays: With approximately 70% of NAS delays caused by weather, ARAT’s advanced algorithms help airlines minimize costly delays and disruptions. ARAT’s predictive models and alternate routing capabilities address the primary cause of delays in the NAS—weather—helping airlines and air taxi services minimize costly delays and improve operational efficiency.   

Efficient Fuel Management: ARAT helps airlines save fuel and reduce emissions by leveraging advanced data analytics and weather forecasting, contributing to more sustainable operations. 

Improve Air Traffic Efficiency: ARAT enhances air traffic flow and decision-making, reducing congestion by providing alternate route recommendations that reduce delays and improve overall air traffic performance. 

Collaborative Rerouting at Scale: By leveraging NASA’s DIP, ARAT enables collaborative rerouting strategies that enhance coordination between airlines and air traffic control. 

With real-time updates, live flight tracking, and advanced machine learning algorithms, ARAT offers flight planners the tools to improve efficiency and reduce delays across the NAS. Join the ranks of airlines, air taxi operators, and air traffic control agencies using ARAT to revolutionize their operations. Optimize routes and enhance decision-making with the industry’s leading flight planning tool.
