Development of heuristic procedures for flight rescheduling in the aftermath of irregular airline operations
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1998], 1998)
Airlines are constantly faced with operational problems which develop from severe weather patterns and unexpected aircraft or personnel failures. However, very little research has been done on the problem of addressing the ...
Human-centered automation of air traffic control operations in the terminal area
([Cambridge, MA : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1994], 1994)
Introduction: Air Traffic Control operations are described extensively in the ATC manuals such as the Airman's Information Manual [1] and the ATC Controller's Handbook [2]. Mathematical analysis has also been conducted for ...
An adaptive Final Approach Spacing Advisory system : modeling, analysis and simulation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1991], 1991)
As airline industry grows and air traffic increases drastically, terminal airspace around busy airports is becoming more and more crowded. To accommodate the soaring demand for use of airports, a plausible and profitable ...
A dynamic approach for air traffic flow management of arriving aircraft at a congested airport
(Cambridge, MA : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1994], 1994)
Both the airline industry and air travelers have been pummeled by increased delays experienced at major airports and, as a result, rising operating costs. In this thesis, we focus on the dynamic Arrival Flow Management ...
Presentations from the 1996 MIT/industry cooperative research program annual meeting.
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1996], 1996)
An expert system for temporal planning with an application to runway configuration management
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1991], 1991)
This thesis describes an expert system to aid in the management of operations in complex qualitative domains characterized by multiple parallel activities with time-critical relationships. An extension to "standard" temporal ...
Impacts of technology on the capacity needs of the U.S. national airspace system
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1991], 1991)
Introduction: Air passenger traffic in the United States showed remarkable growth during the economic expansion of the 1980's. Each day a million and a quarter passengers board commercial flights. The boom coincided with ...
