Observation and Analysis of Departure Operations at Boston Logan International Airport
(2000-11)The Departure Planner (DP) is a concept for a decision-aiding tool that is aimed at improving the departure operations performance at major congested airports. In order to support the development of the DP tool, the flow ... -
Observation and Analysis of Departure Planning Operations at Boston Logan International Airport
(2011-10-14)The Departure Planner (DP) is a concept for a decision-aiding tool that is aimed at improving the departure operations performance at major congested airports. In order to support the development of the DP tool, the flow ... -
Observations and Potential Impacts of Regional Jet Operating Trends
(2003-07)Airlines are increasingly using regional jets to better match aircraft size to high value demand markets, and reduce labor costs. This has been especially important due to the increased pressure on the industry following ... -
Opportunities for Reducing Surface Emissions through Airport Surface Movement Optimization
(2011-10-19)Aircraft taxiing on the surface contribute significantly to the fuel burn and emissions at airports. This report is an overview of PARTNER’s Project 21, which tries to identify promising opportunities for surface ... -
Opportunities to Enhance Air Emergency Medical Service Scale through New Vehicles and Operations
(2018-07-10)Air Emergency Medical Service (Air EMS) provides unique and important medical trans- port capabilities to society. Air EMS can move patients or live organs more rapidly than surface modes over long distances or congested ... -
A Performance Comparison of eSTOL and eVTOL Aircraft
(2021-08-05) -
A Petri Net Framework for the Representation and Analysis of Aircraft Turnaround Operations
(2019-05-20)Aircraft turnaround operations is a key determinant of both airline and airport performance. Airlines incur both direct and indirect costs from poor on-time departure performance, particularly when these delays propagate ... -
Pilot Perception and Use of ADS-B Traffic and Weather Services (TIS-B & FIS-B)
(2014-10-08)Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) is a central component of the NextGen air traffic control modernization program. It is intended to improve traffic surveillance capabilities by sharing accurate aircraft ... -
Preliminary Analysis of Potential ADS-B User Benefits for Hawaiian Helicopter Air Tour Operators
(2007-06)ADS-B ground infrastructure is currently planned to be installed in Hawaii between 2010 and 2013 as part of the National Airspace System (NAS) wide implementation of ADS-B. Current plans call for ADS-B coverage to be focused ... -
Preliminary Design and Evaluation of Portable Electronic Flight Progress Strips
(2002-10)There has been growing interest in using electronic alternatives to the paper Flight Progress Strip (FPS) for air traffic control. However, most research has been centered on radar-based control environments, and has not ... -
Preliminary Development and Flight Trials of a Cruise Altitude and Speed Optimization Decision Support Tool
(2018-10-11)A cruise altitude and speed optimization decision support tool, based on the concept of a minimum cost altitude tunnel, was developed to aid flight crew and dispatcher situational awareness and decision-making in vertical ... -
Public Funding of Airport Incentives: The Efficacy of the Small Community Air Service Development Grant (SCASDG) Program
(2014-01-08)As U.S. airlines began to restrict available domestic capacity at smaller airports in 2008 as a result of higher fuel prices and an economic downturn, these airports have increasingly started to rely on incentive ... -
Queuing Model for Taxi-Out Time Estimation
(2001-09)Flights incur a large percentage of their delays on the ground during the departure process between their scheduled departure from the gate and takeoff. Because of the large uncertainties associated with them, these ... -
Recommended Practices for Human Factors Evaluation Development Process for Advanced Avionics
(2001-07)Advanced avionic systems are currently being developed for use in general aviation aircraft. The avionics include both primary flight displays and multi-functional displays. In order to support the human factors development ... -
Resolution of Conflicts Involving Many Aircraft via Semidefinite Programming
(1999-04)Aircraft conflict detection and resolution is currently attracting the interest of many air transportation service providers and is concerned with the following question: Given a set of airborne aircraft and their intended ... -
Robust Decision-Support Tools for Airport Surface Traffic
(2004-02)Forecasts of departure demand are one of the driving inputs to tactical decision-support tools (DSTs) for airport surface traffic. While there are well-known results on average- or worst-case forecast uncertainty, it is ...
