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 ... -
Route network improvement in air transportation schedule planning
(Cambridge, Mass. : The Laboratory, 1972, 1972)One of the routing and scheduling problems faced by an airline is to configure a route network. It seeks to answer the following two questions: First, should scheduled service be provided for a city pair market? Second, ... -
Routing problem with service choices
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1986, 1986)This thesis finds solutions to the routing problem with service choices which is formulated as a capacitated minimum cost flow circulation problem with GUB constraints. The routing problem with service choices is solved ... -
Routings in a schedule space map : an interactive graphics-based implementation
([Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1987], 1987)Methods used for scheduling aircraft itineraries to desired maintenance bases and similar methods for specifying delivery routings from any number of sources to any number of required locations have been developed. The ... -
Rule-based implementation of automation aids for ATC controllers
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1985, 1985)Development of Air Traffic Controller automation aids is frequently hampered by the mathematical nature of the algorithms they are based upon. These limitations are: lack of adaptability to local conditions; high development, ... -
