Definition of the problems associated with air traffic control of closely spaced helicopter traffic performing instrument approaches
(Fort Monmouth, NJ : U.S. Army Avionics Research and Development Command ; [1980], 1980)
This study reviews the requirements for a modern, high performance all weather Air Traffic Management and Control System designed for U.S. Army airfields. A strawman ATM/C system is created to illustrate problems, and to ...
Estimates of capacity and delay for proposed runway systems : Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam, final report
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1976], 1976)
1. The addition of the fifth runway at Schiphol increases the airport hourly capacity for landings by almost 100%, and the capacity for takeoffs by more than 40%. 2. The current runway system will provide good levels of ...
A review of extended-range operations by transport aircraft
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1987], 1987)
Introduction: The safety of enroute operations of aircraft engaged in public transport has been a continuous concern since the early days of air transportation. There are a variety of inflight emergency situations which ...
Computerized schedule construction for an airbus transportation system
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1966], 1966)
As part of a continuing study of the application of V/STOL aircraft to the transportation problems of the Northeast Corridor, the U.S. Department of Commerce has requested that detailed data be developed on schedules, ...
Man Vehicle Systems Research Facility : functional specification of the ATC subsystem.
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1980], 1980)
The ATC subsystem will be designed to realistically simulate the present and future air traffic control environments in which the cabs will fly their experiments.
Creating new operational concepts for global automated ATM systems
(Cambridge, MA : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1995], 1995)
With the availability of new CNS technologies (Communications, Navigation and Guidance, Surveillance) as described by the ICAO FANS agreement and the potential of new tools for Automation at the ATC controller's console, ...
Recommendations (Phase I) DOT/CAB/MIT air freight data study
(Cambridge, Mass : Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1971], 1971)
Introduction: On January 15, 1971 the Department of Transportation and the Civil Aeronautics Board announced a joint research project in conjunction with the Department of Transportation's contractor, the Massachusetts ...
Toward the definition and measurement of the mental workload of transport pilots
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1979], 1979)
This report describes work performed in the first year of a continuing research project aimed at developing useful methods for measuring the workload of pilots operating aircraft in the ATC system. Good methods of measuring ...
Theoretical study of network design methodologies for the aerial relay system
(Cambridge : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory ; [1980], 1980)
Growth of the United States air transportation system is currently facing two major barriers: energy and congestion. While the price of fuel has gone up by approximately an order of magnitude in the last 10 years, there ...
A simulation study of dynamic scheduling of a VTOL airport feeder system
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1969], 1969)
Introduction: In considering ultra short haul, high density transportation systems, it may become feasible to use short term, real time decision making in operating the system. Here the dispatch of vehicles would be based ...
