Economics and finance in the management of U.S. airports
(Cambridge : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1980], 1980)
Using actual data gathered from field surveys and an extensive literature survey, this work examines and evaluates the economic and financial performance of the U.S. airports. A detailed analysis of the economics of airport ...
Definition of the problems associated with air traffic control of closely spaced helicopter traffic performing instrument approaches
(Fort Monmouth, NJ : U.S. Army Avionics Research and Development Command ; [1980], 1980)
This study reviews the requirements for a modern, high performance all weather Air Traffic Management and Control System designed for U.S. Army airfields. A strawman ATM/C system is created to illustrate problems, and to ...
Predicting the impact of new technology aircraft on international air transportation demand
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology ; [1981], 1981)
Introduction: A desire to see new places, meet different people, and perhaps conduct some business on the side has been an enduring feature of civilization. However, international travel remained largely the province of ...
A linear programming solution to the gate assignment problem at airport terminals
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1980], 1980)
This research solves the flight-to-gate assignment problem at airports in such a way as to minimize, or at least reduce, walking distances for passengers inside terminals. Two solution methods are suggested. The first is ...
Airline market share modeling in originating city markets
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1989], 1989)
The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 has not only affected the way airlines compete with each other, it has also changed the distribution channels that were once rigidly controlled by the airlines, travel agents and Civil ...
Interactive dynamic aircraft scheduling
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1984, 1984)
Introducing recent advances in computer technology to improve aircraft scheduling is investigated. Incorporating interactive graphics, modern database manipulation techniques, and decision support algorithms, the computer ...
A review of extended-range operations by transport aircraft
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1987], 1987)
Introduction: The safety of enroute operations of aircraft engaged in public transport has been a continuous concern since the early days of air transportation. There are a variety of inflight emergency situations which ...
IFA/1 : an interactive airline fleet assignment model
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1981], 1981)
This thesis investigates the Airline Fleet Assignment models which have been designed during the past 10 years within MIT's Flight Transportation Laboratory. Emphasis is placed on developing an interactive computer system, ...
Aviation safety analysis
(Cambridge, Mass : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1984], 1984)
Introduction: Just as the aviation system is complex and interrelated, so is aviation safety. Aviation safety involves design of aircraft and airports, training of ground personnel and flight crew members' maintenance of ...
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 ...
