Analysis and Modeling of Ground Operations at Hub Airports
(2000-06)Building simple and accurate models of hub airports can considerably help one understand airport dynamics, and may provide quantitative estimates of operational airport improvements. In this paper, three models are proposed ... -
Analysis of Airspace Traffic Structure and Air Traffic Control Techniques
(2012-04-03)Air traffic controller cognitive processes are a limiting factor in providing safe and efficient flow of traffic. Therefore, there has been work in understanding the factors that drive controllers decision-making processes. ... -
Analysis of Approach Stability and Challenges in Operational Implementation of RNP Approach Procedures
(2017-05-23)Required Navigation Performance (RNP) instrument procedures guarantee high levels of navigation precision through highly accurate navigation sources (e.g. GPS) and real-time monitoring of position estimation accuracy. In ... -
Analysis of Barriers to the Utility of General Aviation Based on a User Survey and Mode Choice Model
(2002-02)General aviation is an underutilized transportation mode, particularly when compared to alternative modes such as the automobile and the commercial airlines. In this research, barriers to the utility of general aviation ... -
Analysis of Complexity Evolution Management and Human Performance Issues in Commercial Aircraft Automation Systems
(2000-05)Autoflight systems in the current generation of aircraft have been implicated in several recent incidents and accidents. A contributory aspect to these incidents may be the manner in which aircraft transition between ... -
Analysis of Interaction between Air Transportation and Economic Activity
(2008-07-07)This paper uses both world-wide and country-level analysis to describe the relationship between air transportation and economic activity. In particular, we describe how economic, infrastructural, institutional and ... -
An Analysis of Profit Cycles In the Airline Industry
(2004-12)The objective of this paper is to understand the financial dynamics of the airline industry by identifying profit cycle periods of the industry and their driving factors. Assuming that the industry profit cycles could be ... -
An Analysis of Profit Cycles in the Airline Industry
(AIAA, 2006-09-25)This paper discusses the financial dynamics of the airline industry by identifying the fundamental cycle periods of profitability and their driving factors. Assuming the industry profit cycles could be modeled as an ... -
An Analysis of the Dynamics of the US Commercial Air Transportation System
(2003-05)Major trends in the airline industry are analyzed to highlight key dynamics that govern the US domestic air transportation system. The hypothesis is that air travel supply and demand equilibriums, a reliance on outside ... -

Anomaly Detection in Airline Routine Operations Using Flight Data Recorder Data
(2013-06-17)In order to improve safety in current air carrier operations, there is a growing emphasis on proactive safety management systems. These systems identify and mitigate risks before accidents occur. This thesis develops a new ... -
Application of Real Options to Evaluate the Development Process of New Aircraft Models
(AIAA, 2004)Investment decisions in the development and production of new aircraft models is difficult because of the technical and market uncertainties associated with such a complex process. The accompanying risks can be mitigated ... -
An Approach to Analyze Tradeoffs for Aerospace System Design and Operation
(2012-11-01)There are important tradeoffs that need to be considered for the design and operation of aerospace systems. In addition to tradeoffs, there may also be multiple stakeholders of interest to the system and each may have ... -
Approaches to Enhance Driver Situational Assessment Aids
(2007-09)Collision warning systems encounter a fundamental trade-off between providing the driver more time in which to respond and alerting the driver unnecessarily. The probability that a driver successfully avoids a hazard ... -
Approaches to Incorporating Robustness into Airline Scheduling
(2000-08)The airline scheduling process used by major airlines today aims to develop opti- mal schedules which maximize revenue. However, these schedules are often far from \optimal" once deployed in the real world because they ... -
