Safety Considerations for Operation of Different Classes of UAVs in the NAS
(AIAA, 2004-09-20)Recognizing the significant effort underway to integrate UAV operations in the NAS, a preliminary hazard analysis was conducted for two critical hazards of UAV operation. Models were developed to describe UAV ground impact ... -
Safety Considerations for Operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in the National Airspace System
(2006-11-21)There is currently a broad effort underway in the United States and internationally by several organizations to craft regulations enabling the safe operation of UAVs in the NAS. Current federal regulations governing unmanned ... -
Safety Considerations in Emerging Electric Aircraft Architectures
(2018-10-11)Safety and certification considerations which impact the design of an emerging new class of small, electric aircraft were investigated. Based on an assessment of the different emerging aircraft designs, vehicles were grouped ... -
Scalability and Evolutionary Dynamics of Air Transportation Networks in the United States
(2007-09-21)With the growing demand for air transportation and the limited ability to increase capacity at key points in the air transportation system, there are concerns that, in the future, the system will not scale to meet demand. ... -
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. ... -
Scaling Constraints for Urban Air Mobility Operations: Air Traffic Control, Ground Infrastructure, and Noise
(2018-07-10)The scalability of the current air traffic control system, the availability of aviation ground infrastructure, and the acceptability of aircraft noise to local communities have been identified as three key operational ... -
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 ... -
Situation Awareness Information Requirements For Commercial Airline Pilots
(International Center for Air Transportation, 1998-09)Situation awareness is presented as a fundamental requirement for good airmanship, forming the basis for pilot decision making and performance. To develop a better understanding of the role of situation awareness in flying, ... -
Software Tools to Support Research on Airport Departure Planning
(2002-10)A simple, portable and useful collection of software tools has been developed for the analysis of airport surface traffic. The tools are based on a flexible and robust traffic-flow model, and include calibration, validation ... -
Structure, Intent & Conformance Monitoring in ATC
(2002-09)In field studies of current Air Traffic Control operations it is found that controllers rely on underlying airspace structure to reduce the complexity of the planning and conformance monitoring tasks. The structure appears ... -
A Study of Tradeoffs in Scheduling Terminal-Area Operations
(Proceedings of the IEEE, 2008-12)The terminal area surrounding an airport is an important component of the air transportation system, and efficient terminal-area schedules are essential for accommodating the projected increase in air traffic demand. ... -
Supporting the Future Air Traffic Control Projection Process
(International Center for Air Transportation, 2003)In air traffic control, projecting what the air traffic situation will be over the next 30 seconds to 30 minutes is a key process in identifying conflicts that may arise so that evasive action can be taken upon discovery ... -
System Dynamics Analysis of Incentives for Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (Ads-B) Equipage
(2008-05)The demand for air transportation is anticipated to continue to grow in the future. In order to accommodate future demands, the U.S. Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) proposed the Next Generation Air Transportation ... -
A System Level Study of New Wake Turbulence Separation Concepts and Their Impact on Airport Capacity
(2017-04-21)The air transportation industry continues to grow worldwide, but demand is often limited by available airspace and airport capacity. This thesis focuses on evaluating new air traffic procedures: specifically, new and ... -
