Terminal area flight path generation using parallel constraint propagation
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1989], 1989)
A Flight Path Generator is defined as the module of an automated Air Traffic Control system which plans aircraft trajectories in the terminal area with respect to operational constraints. The flight path plans have to be ...
Aircraft collision models
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1982], 1982)
Introduction: The threat of midair collisions is one of the most serious problems facing the air traffic control system and has been studied by many researchers. The gas model is one of the models which describe the expected ...
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 ...
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 ...
An analytical study of advanced terminal area air traffic management and control
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1976], 1976)
This dissertation gives a comprehensive study of the theory and practice of the advanced terminal area air traffic management and control. The entire terminal area ATM/C system has been formulated as a feedback control ...
Review and evaluation of national airspace system models
(Cambridge, MA : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology ; 1979, 1979)
Abstract from Technical Report Documentation Page: This report is intended to serve as a guide to the availability and capability of state-of-the-art analytical and simulation models of the National Airspace System (NAS). ...
Scheduling and routing models for airline systems
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1969], 1969)
Foreword: This report attempts to put together all of the optimal computer models concerned with scheduling and routing problems for passenger transportation systems. By placing them in one place, classifying them, and ...
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 ...
The dynamic scheduling of aircraft in the near terminal area
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1976], 1976)
Aircraft arrive in a random fashion into a terminal area seeking to land at a given runway. The aircraft are differentiated by their landing velocities. All aircraft are required to maintain a prespecified minimum horizontal ...
Modeling of wind and radar for simulation in four-dimensional navigation environment
(Cambridge : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, [1976], 1976)
Disturbances affecting time control precision in four-dimension navigation are modeled. Several models of wind and turbulence from the ground to ten thousand feet are developed. A distinction is made between wind mean and ...
