    • Analysis of aircraft surface motion at Boston Logan International Airport 

      Alhanatis, Robert Elias (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, c1994, c1994)
      The purpose of this thesis is to examine the nature of aircraft surface motion on the airport surface during normal operations. Twelve hours of radar data, gathered by MIT Lincoln Laboratories from Logan airport in Boston, ...

    • Estimates of capacity and delay for proposed runway systems : Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam, final report 

      Odoni, Amedeo R.; Simpson, R. W. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1976], 1976)
      1. The addition of the fifth runway at Schiphol increases the airport hourly capacity for landings by almost 100%, and the capacity for takeoffs by more than 40%. 2. The current runway system will provide good levels of ...

    • An expert system for temporal planning with an application to runway configuration management 

      Hazelton, Lyman R. (Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1991], 1991)
      This thesis describes an expert system to aid in the management of operations in complex qualitative domains characterized by multiple parallel activities with time-critical relationships. An extension to "standard" temporal ...

    • A simulation of aircraft motion on the airport surface 

      Mathaisel, Dennis F. X.; Pararas, John Demetrios.; Idris, Husni Rifat. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1994], 1994)
      This paper describes the design and implementation of a real-time simulation of aircraft motion on the ground at airports. The aircraft Ground Motion Simulator (GMS) is designed to realistically simulate tower, ground, and ...

    • Some measures of aircraft performance on the airport surface 

      Swedish, William J. (Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1972], 1972)
      During the month of January, a survey was conducted at Boston and Atlanta Airports to obtain input data for an interactive computer simulation of runway and taxiway traffic being developed by Lincoln Laboratory. Data was ...
