The Importance of Air Transportation to the U.S. Economy: Analysis of Industry Use and Proximity to Airports
(2013-05-16)
This thesis investigates broader impacts of air transportation on U.S. economic productivity, as well as market access and business location, in order to help identify how aviation supports the national economy. More ...
Human Factors Flight Testing of an ADS-B Based Traffic Alerting System for General Aviation
(2013-08-06)
Mid-air collisions are a concern for general aviation. Current traffic alerting systems
have limited usability in the airport environment where a majority of mid-air
collisions occur. A Traffic Situation Awareness with ...
Evolving Trends of U.S. Domestic Airfares: The Impacts of Competition, Consolidation, and Low-Cost Carriers
(2013-08-15)
This paper investigates the effects of flight reductions and disciplined airline capacity management strategies on average one-way domestic airfares at 445 U.S. airports from 2007-2012. Average one-way airfares are found ...
Development of a High-Preceision ADS-B Based Conflict Alerting System for Operations in the Airport Enviornment
(2013-11-07)
The introduction of Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) as the future source of aircraft surveillance worldwide provides an opportunity to introduce high-precision airborne conflict alerting systems for ...
Modeling Changes in Connectivity at U.S. Airports: A Small Community Perspective
(2013-06-11)
There currently exists no industry-standard model for measuring an airport's level of connectivity to the global air transportation network. This discussion paper introduces the Airport Connectivity Quality Index (ACQI)--a ...
Airport Characterization for the Adaptation of Surface Congestion Management Approaches
(2013-02-15)
Surface congestion management has received increased
attention worldwide, largely due to its potential to mitigate operational inefficiencies and environmental impact. Most prior
efforts have focused on demonstrations ...
The Influence Of Runway Occupancy Time And Wake Vortex Separation Requirements On Runway Throughput
(2013-09-17)
Air traffic growth in the U.S. has led to runway capacity constraints in the air
transportation network. There has been limited new construction of runways due to land availability. One approach to increase capacity of ...
