The stochastic air traffic flow management rerouting problem
… formulate a model for planning the rerouting of aircraft to alleviate en-route congestion, with system capacity being modeled stochastically. To overcome problems with tractability, we apply a Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition and present an efficient method for solving it. The decomposed formulation …

Air traffic flow management at airports : a unified optimization approach
The cost of air traffic delays is well documented, and furthermore, it is known that the significant proportion of delays is incurred at airports. Much of the air traffic flow management literature focuses on traffic flows between airports in a network, and when studies have focused on optimizing …

A comparison of discrete and flow-based models for air traffic flow management
The steady increase of congestion in air traffic networks has resulted in significant economic losses and potential safety issues in the air transportation. A potential way to reduce congestion is to adopt efficient air traffic management policies, such as, optimally scheduling and routing air …

The case for coordination : equity, efficiency and passenger impacts in air traffic flow management
… optimization formulations for coordinating Traffic Flow Management (TFM) programs with equity considerations. Our multi-resource approaches ignore aircraft connectivity between flights, but allow a single flight to utilize multiple capacity-controlled resources. For example, when both Ground …

A tractable optimization framework for Air Traffic Flow Management addressing fairness, collaboration and stochasticity
… a tractable optimization framework for network Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) with an eye towards the future. The thesis addresses two issues in ATFM research: a) fairness and collaboration amongst airlines; and b) uncertainty inherent in capacity forecasts. A unifying attraction of the …

Control design techniques for constrained positive compartmental systems with applications to air traffic flow management
The current air traffic management system has been pushed to its limit and will not be able to keep up with the predicted increase in air traffic over the coming years. Recent research in air traffic management is concerned with increasing the capacity and throughput of the National Airspace System …

Passenger-Centric Ground Holding : including connections in ground delay program decisions
… time periods when the overall capacity at an airport is reduced due to adverse weather conditions or other circumstances is a well-studied problem in Air Traffic Flow Management, but not from the passenger's perspective. We propose a Passenger-Centric Ground Holding (PCGH) model, which …

Optimization of airport terminal-area air traffic operations under uncertain weather conditions
… and widespread disruptions in the U.S. National Airspace System, especially during summer. Although Air Traffic Flow Management algorithms exist to schedule and route traffic in the face of disruptions, they require reliable forecasts of airspace capacity. However, there exists a gap between the …

Airline scheduling and air traffic control : incorporating uncertainty and passenger and airline preferences
The global airline industry is a multi-stakeholder stochastic system whose performance is the outcome of complex interactions between its multiple decisions-makers under a high degree of uncertainty. Inadequate understanding of uncertainty and stakeholder preferences leads to adverse effects …

Integrated Modeling of Air Traffic, Aviation Weather, and Communication Systems
… suffers many delays due to the lack of timely air traffic flow management. These delays are also caused by the uncertainty weather information; and the lack of efficient dissemination of weather products to pilots. It is clear that better models are needed to quantify air traffic flow in three …

A Hybrid Tabu/Scatter Search Algorithm for Simulation-Based Optimization of Multi-Objective Runway Operations Scheduling
<p>As air traffic continues to increase, air traffic flow management is becoming more challenging to effectively and efficiently utilize airport capacity without compromising safety, environmental and economic requirements. Since runways are often the primary limiting factor in airport capacity, …
