Scalability of the Air Transportation System and Development of Multi-Airport Systems: A Worldwide Perspective
(2008-06)
With the growing demand for air transportation and the limited ability to increase capacity at some key points in the air transportation system, there are concerns that in the future the system will not scale to meet demand. ...
Air Carrier Flight Operations
(MIT International Center for Air Transportation, 2004-07)
Most air carriers operate under a system of prioritized goals including safety, customer service (on-time departures and arrivals) and operating economics. The flight operations department is responsible for the safe and ...
Analysis of the Interaction Between Air Transportation and Economic Activity: A Worldwide Perspective
(2009-03-30)
Air transportation usage and economic activity are interdependent. Air transportation provides employment
and enables certain economic activities which are dependent on the availability of air transportation services.
The ...
An Experimental Study of the Effects of Automation on Pilot Situational Awareness in the Datalink ATC Environmental
(2015-03-18)
An experiment to study how automation, when used in conjunction with datalink for the delivery of ATC clearance amendments, affects the situational awareness of aircrews was conducted. The study was focused on the relationship ...
Dynamics of Air Transportation System Transition and Implications for ADS-B Equipage
(2007-09-20)
The U.S. Air Transportation Systems faces substantial challenges in transforming to
meet future demand. These challenges need to be understood and addressed in order to
successfully meet future system needs. This paper ...
An Integrated Approach to Evaluating Risk Mitigation Measures for UAV Operational Concepts in the NAS
(AIAA, 2005-09-26)
An integrated approach is outlined in this paper to evaluate risks posed by operating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in the National Airspace System. The approach supports the systematic evaluation of potential risk mitigation ...
Crisis Events as a Catalyst for Change in the US Air Transportation
(2007-07)
Historically, aircraft accidents have preceded the implementation of many changes in the US Air Transportation
System. These accidents act as catalytic events which generate awareness of a problem and pressure for change ...
The Dynamics of Air Transportation System Transition
(2007-07)
Both U.S. and European Air Transportation Systems face substantial challenges in transforming to meet future demand. This paper uses a feedback model to identify
and describe key issues in the dynamics of system transition, ...
Semi-Structured Decision Processes: A Conceptual Framework for Understanding Human-Automation Decision Systems
(International Center for Air Transportation, 1999-09)
The purpose of this work is to improve understanding of existing and proposed decision systems, ideally to improve the design of future systems. A "decision system" is defined as a collection of
information-processing ...
