Observation and Analysis of Departure Operations at Boston Logan International Airport
(2000-11)
The Departure Planner (DP) is a concept for a decision-aiding tool that is aimed at improving the
departure operations performance at major congested airports. In order to support the
development of the DP tool, the flow ...
Scalability of the Air Transportation System and Development of Multi-Airport Systems: A Worldwide Perspective
(2008-06)
With the growing demand for air transportation and the limited ability to increase capacity at some key points in the air transportation system, there are concerns that in the future the system will not scale to meet demand. ...
Observations and Potential Impacts of Regional Jet Operating Trends
(2003-07)
Airlines are increasingly using regional jets to better match aircraft size to high value
demand markets, and reduce labor costs. This has been especially important due to the increased
pressure on the industry following ...
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 ...
Cockpit Weather Information System Requirements for Flight Operations in Icing Conditions
(International Center for Air Transportation, 2000-02)
In order to support the development of remote sensing technologies, the requirements of cockpit
information systems for flight operations in icing conditions were investigated. Pilot information
needs were investigated ...
Impact of Operating Context on the Use of Structure in Air Traffic Controller Cognitive Processes
(2003-06-23)
This paper investigates the influence of structure on air traffic controllers’ cognitive processes in the TRACON, En Route, and Oceanic environments. Radar data and voice command analyses were conducted to support hypotheses ...
Cognitive Issues Related to Advanced Cockpit Displays: Supporting the Transition Between
(MIT International Center for Air Transportation, 2003-06)
A critical issue in military aviation is the pilot’s ability to transition between primarily internal (head-down, instrument-driven) and external (head-up, out of the cockpit) guidance.
Experimental cockpit displays were ...
Design And Evaluation Of A Portable Electronic Flight Progress Strip System
(MIT International Center for Air Transportation, 2003-06)
There has been growing interest in using electronic alternatives to the paper Flight Progress Strip
(FPS) for air traffic control. However, most research has been centered on radar-based control
environments, and has not ...
Air Transportation And Socioeconomic Connectivity In The United States Since Deregulation
(2003-07)
In light of ongoing threats to the viability of traditional airline business models and the provision of air service in the United States, this paper studies the fundamental interdependence of the national economy and the ...
A Conceptual Design of A Departure Planner Decision Aid
(2000-06)
Terminal area Air Traffic Management handles both arriving and departing traffic. To date, research work on terminal area operations has focused primarily on the arrival flow and typically departures are taken into account ...
