A survey of approaches to the airport slot allocation problem
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, [1985], 1985)
Introduction: The allocation of slots at congested major commercial airports is one of the most difficult problems facing the aviation community today. The stakes involved are very large and the controversy generated by ...
A planning tool for predicting en route ATC conflicts and designing ATC sectors
(Cambridge, Mass. : Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1985], 1985)
The modernization of the Air Traffic Control system has led to a reevaluation of sector performance in order to design a safer and more efficient system for the future. There are, however, few available tools to aid in ...
A.I.S.E. : a hybrid scheduling system
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1985, 1985)
A.I.S.E. (Advanced Interactive Scheduling Environment) is an interactive computer system designed to schedule efficiently a fleet of vehicles accordingly to a set of requests made in advance or at the last minute. The ...
International aeronautical user charges
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1985], 1985)
Introduction: 1.1 BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATION Very few issues relating to the international air transportation industry are today as divisive as those pertaining to user charges imposed at international airports and enroute ...
An advanced situation display for air traffic control
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1985], 1985)
A new approach to presenting Air Traffic Control (ATC) situation information to controllers has been devised and implemented. The approach allows the controller to spend more time analyzing traffic trends by decreasing the ...
Potential use of artificial intelligence techniques in air traffic control
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1985], 1985)
A.I., or Artificial Intelligence, is a vast field that includes more than the so-called "Expert Systems" that the public seems to identify with A.I. In particular, research in A.I. has created an entirely new mode of ...
Probabilistic modelling of LORAN-C for non-precision approaches
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1985], 1985)
A mathematical model of the expected position errors encountered from LORAN-C during a non precision approach was formulated. From this, position error ellipses were generated that corresponded to two time difference ...
Rule-based implementation of automation aids for ATC controllers
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1985, 1985)
Development of Air Traffic Controller automation aids is frequently hampered by the mathematical nature of the algorithms they are based upon. These limitations are: lack of adaptability to local conditions; high development, ...
The impact of airline-airport relations on airport management decisions
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1985, 1985)
Airlines, in the past, have had an important influence on airport operations through privileges granted them by the airport lease agreements. Airport administrators and sponsoring agencies have agreed to grant these ...
TWA reservations analysis : project update -- demand distribution patterns
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1985], 1985)
Background: Research into airline capacity management and yield optimization at the Flight Transportation Laboratory is being performed with the support and funding of the Cooperative Research Program. The focus of this ...
