Identifying Predictive Metrics for Supervisory Control of Multiple Robots
(IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2007)In recent years, much research has focused on making possible single operator control of multiple robots. In these high workload situations, many questions arise including how many robots should be in the team, 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, ... -
The impact of airline-airport relations on airport management decisions
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1985, 1985)Airlines, in the past, have had an important influence on airport operations through privileges granted them by the airport lease agreements. Airport administrators and sponsoring agencies have agreed to grant these ... -
The Impact of Heterogeneity on Operator Performance in Future Unmanned Vehicle Systems
(2008)Recent studies have shown that with appropriate operator decision support and with sufficient automation, inverting the multiple operators to single-unmanned vehicle control paradigm is possible. These studies, however, ... -
The impact of high inflation rates on the demand for air passenger transportation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1975], 1975)The impact of high inflation rates on the demand for domestic air passenger transportation is tested in a demand model using time-series data and linear and non-linear least squares regressions with Revenue Passenger Miles ... -
,The Impact of Human-Automation Collaboration in Decentralized Multiple Unmanned Vehicle Control
(Proceedings of the IEEE, 2012)For future systems that require one or a small team of operators to supervise a network of automated agents, automated planners are critical since they are faster than humans for path planning and resource allocation in ... -
The Impact of Intelligent Aiding for Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Schedule Management
(IEEE Intelligent Systems, 2007)There is increasing interest in designing systems such that the current many-to-one ratio of operators to unmanned vehicles (UVs) can be inverted. Instead of lower-level tasks performed by today’s UV teams, the sole operator ... -
The Impact of Multi-layered Data-blocks on Controller Performance
(Air Traffic Control Quarterly, 2008)As a consequence of the push to increase National Airspace System capacity, air traffic control displays will not only have to show the increasing number of aircraft, but also all the associated data such as airspeed and ... -
Impact of videoconferencing on the demand for air travel
(Cambridge, MA : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1995, 1995)Videoconferencing is widely seen as the form of modern telecommunications having the largest potential to impact the growth of business air travel demand. Most existing studies focus on the substitutional effect of enhanced ... -
Impacts of technology on the capacity needs of the U.S. national airspace system
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1991], 1991)Introduction: Air passenger traffic in the United States showed remarkable growth during the economic expansion of the 1980's. Each day a million and a quarter passengers board commercial flights. The boom coincided with ... -
Implementation and validation of a CubeSat laser transmitter
(SPIE, 2016)The paper presents implementation and validation results for a CubeSat-scale laser transmitter. The master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) design produces a 1550 nm, 200mW average power optical signal through the use of ... -
Incorporating sell-up in airline revenue management
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1998], 1998)The decision to buy a fare that is higher than the desired fare, under the situation when the desired fare is not available, is known as sell-up. Passengers' willingness to sellup can have considerable impact on airline ... -
Induced strain actuation of composite plates
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1989], 1989)Two models of induced strain plate actuator/substrate systems are developed and verified experimentally. Equations relating the actuation strains produced by the strain actuators to the induced strains found in the system ... -
The influence of tip clearance on stall limits of a rectilinear cascade of compressor blades
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1959], 1959)An experimental study of the influence of tip clearance on the stall limits of compressor blades was conducted on a two dimensional rectilinear cascade. By using the mirror and image technique the end wall boundary layer ... -
Information Requirements for MCM and ISR Missions : PUMA Phase II
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2007)This document contains display requirements for Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) control station displays to be used by unmanned vehicle units in support of heterogeneous unmanned vehicle missions (such as Special Operations ... -
Information-Theoretic Motion Planning for Constrained Sensor Networks
(2012-07-20)This paper considers the problem of online informative motion planning for a network of heterogeneous sensing agents, each subject to dynamic constraints, environmental constraints, and sensor limitations. Prior work has ... -
Integral methods for three-dimensional boundary layers
(Aerospace Computational Design Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998-02)Several distinct issues important in integral approximations of the three-dimensional boundary-layer equations are addressed. One of these is the requirement, justified on the basis of the nature of the full differential ... -
Integrating Automobile Multiple Intelligent Warning Systems : Performance and Policy Implications
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2006)Intelligent driver warning systems can be found in many high-end vehicles on the road today, which will likely rapidly increase as they become standard equipment. However, introducing multiple warning systems into vehicles ... -
Integrating Multiple Alarms & Driver Situation Awareness
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2006)This study addresses this gap in CAS and intelligent alarm research by examining whether or not a single master alarm warning versus multiple warnings for the different collision warning systems conveys adequate information ... -
The integration of Automatic Speech Recognition into the Air Traffic Control system
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1990], 1990)Today, the Air Traffic Control (ATC) system relies primarily on verbal communication between the air traffic controllers and the pilots of the aircraft in the controlled airspace. Although a computer system exists that ...
