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 ...
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 ...
A Multi-Objective, Decomposition-Based Algorithm Design Methodology and its Application to Runway Operations Planning
(2004-09)
Significant delays and resulting environmental impacts are commonly observed during departure
operations at major US and European airports. One approach for mitigating airport congestion
and delays is to exercise tactical ...
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 ...
The hidden value of air transportation infrastructure
(2003-06-10)
Air transportation is a key strategic asset in that it provides access to markets and thereby enables the
economic development of nations. Thus, in order to maintain their competitiveness in a global economy,
countries ...
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 ...
Design and Flight Demonstration Test of a Continuous Descent Approach Procedure for Louisville International Airport
(2004-04)
A design methodology based on the principles of system analysis was used to design a noise abatement
approach procedure for Louisville International Airport. In a flight demonstration test, this procedure was
shown to ...
Effects of Increased Nonstop Routing on Airline Cost and Profit
(2001-09)
Delays in the United States air transportation industry are increasing every year, with correspondingly
increasing costs. Delays are particularly bad at hub airports, due to the extra
demand placed on these connecting ...
Investments in Rural Air Transportation Networks in Developing Countries
(2004)
Rural airfields provide vital access to many remote regions of the world, thus
enabling their socioeconomic development. While these facilities are usually very
simple, their construction and maintenance can be very ...
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 ...
