Recommended Practices for Human Factors Evaluation Development Process for Advanced Avionics
(2001-07)
Advanced avionic systems are currently being developed for use in general aviation aircraft. The avionics include both primary flight displays and multi-functional displays. In order to support the human factors development ...
Conformance Monitoring Approaches in Current and Future Air Traffic Control Environments
(2002-10)
Conformance monitoring is a core task in Air Traffic Control (ATC) operations to determine whether aircraft are adhering to assigned trajectories. This is important for many reasons, including to ensure that tactical ...
Queuing Model for Taxi-Out Time Estimation
(2001-09)
Flights incur a large percentage of their delays on the ground during the departure process
between their scheduled departure from the gate and takeoff. Because of the large uncertainties
associated with them, these ...
The Impact of Information Technologies on Air Transportation
(2005-01)
The Air Transportation System and several key subsystems including the Aircraft, Airline, and Air Traffic Management are modeled as interacting control loops. The impact of Information Technologies on each of these subsystems ...
The Dynamics of Air Transportation System Transition
(2007-07)
Both U.S. and European Air Transportation Systems
face substantial challenges in transforming to meet future
demand. This paper uses a feedback model to identify
and describe key issues in the dynamics of system ...
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 the Interaction Between Air Transportation and Economic Activity: A Worldwide Perspective
(2009-03-30)
Air transportation usage and economic activity are interdependent. Air transportation provides employment
and enables certain economic activities which are dependent on the availability of air transportation services.
The ...
Experimental Studies of Cognitively Based Air Traffic Control Complexity Metrics for Future Operational Concepts
(2009-09-09)
New procedures and technologies of Air Traffic Control (ATC) under development in
Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) will change controllers' tasks,
roles, and responsibilities. However, cognitive ...
Software Tools to Support Research on Airport Departure Planning
(2002-10)
A simple, portable and useful collection of software tools has been developed for the analysis of airport surface traffic. The tools are based on a flexible and robust traffic-flow model, and include calibration, validation ...
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 ...
