Modelling risk in ATC operations with ground intervention
(Cambridge : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, c1991, c1991)Preface: It was part of a continuing series of research work aimed at creating models for estimating Collision Risk for ATC operations which can be used by the Federal Aviation Administration and ICAO to establish safe ... -
A multi-regression analysis of airline indirect operating costs
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1968], 1968)A multiple regression analysis of domestic and local airline indirect costs was carried out to formulate cost estimating equations for airline indirect costs. Data from CAB and FAA sources covering the years 1962-66 was ... -

Network value concept in airline revenue management
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1998], 1998)A connecting passenger occupies a seat on each of the flight leg of his itinerary. Moreover, for a given fare class, the fare of a connecting passenger is lower than the sum of the fares of the local passengers on the ... -
New directions for forecasting air travel passenger demand
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1974, 1974)While few will disagree that sound forecasts are an essential prerequisite to rational transportation planning and analysis, the making of these forecasts has become a complex problem with the broadening of the scope and ... -
On the numerical solution of simultaneous, non-linear equations in computer-aided preliminary design
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, c1986, c1986)In the solution of problems in preliminary design, it often becomes necessary to solve systems of equations. An immediate example from aeronautical design is the frequent need to perform several iterations around the gross ... -
Out-of-kilter flow (OKF) : user's guide
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1967, 1967)Section 1: The following few pages are from the book, "Flows in Networks" by Ford and Fulkerson, which is referenced in this report. After these few pages, the report itself commences. -- Section 2: This writeup is intended ... -
Paper Airplane user's manual : version four
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, Paper Airplane Project, c1987, c1987)Preface: This document provides the user with a step-by-step guide to using Paper Airplane, Version IV. Although this program can be used to design any system (once given the proper set of design equations), this manual ... -
Papers from the MIT-industry Cooperative Research Program, 1989 : proceedings of the annual meeting held at MIT
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1989], 1989) -
Parallel parametric combinatorial search : its application to runway scheduling
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1987], 1987)The Runway Scheduling Problem (RSP) addresses the fundamental issues of airport congestion and energy conservation. It is a variation of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) from which it differs in three basic points: the ... -
Pilot workload in the air transport environment : measurement, theory, and the influence of air traffic control
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1980], 1980)The operating environment of an air transport crew is characterized by multiple interrupting tasks, these tasks being composed of a mixture of purely physical control and purely mental planning processes. Measurement of ... -
Planning level decision support for the selection of robust configurations of airport passenger buildings
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1994], 1994)Prevalent in the current practice of airport design is the view of the airport as a "terminal", or beginning and ending point only of a traveler's journey. Such a perspective wrongly encourages the belief that airport ... -
A planning tool for predicting en route ATC conflicts and designing ATC sectors
(Cambridge, Mass. : Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1985], 1985)The modernization of the Air Traffic Control system has led to a reevaluation of sector performance in order to design a safer and more efficient system for the future. There are, however, few available tools to aid in ... -
Policy alternatives for the U.S. commuter airline industry after four years of airline deregulation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1983], 1983)Beginning with the passage of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, the dramatic changes in the passenger commuter airline segment of the U.S. aviation industry are identified and evaluated. The results of this evaluation ... -
Potential impacts on advanced technologies on the ATC capacity of high-density terminal areas
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1986], 1986)Advanced technologies for airborne systems (automatic flight control, flight displays, navigation) and for ground ATC systems (digital communications, improved surveillance and tracking, automated decision-making) create ... -
Potential use of artificial intelligence techniques in air traffic control
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1985], 1985)A.I., or Artificial Intelligence, is a vast field that includes more than the so-called "Expert Systems" that the public seems to identify with A.I. In particular, research in A.I. has created an entirely new mode of ... -
Predicting the impact of new technology aircraft on international air transportation demand
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology ; [1981], 1981)Introduction: A desire to see new places, meet different people, and perhaps conduct some business on the side has been an enduring feature of civilization. However, international travel remained largely the province of ... -
