Mitigating airport congestion : market mechanisms and airline response models
… allocation problems in a network of congested airports. The increasing demand for access to the world's major commercial airports combined with the limited operational capacity at many of these airports have led to growing air traffic congestion resulting in several billion dollars of delay …

An Agent-based Model for Airline Evolution, Competition, and Airport Congestion
… system can be divided into four subsystems: airports, airlines, air traffic control, and passengers, each of them having different interests. These subsystems interact in a very complex way resulting in various phenomena. On the airport side, there is excessive flight demand during the peak …

A queuing model of airport congestion and policy implications at JFK and EWR
… High Density Rule, access to major commercial airports in the United States has been unconstrained or, in the case of the airports of New York, weakly constrained. This largely unregulated demand combined with capacity constraints led to record delay levels in 2007, whose costs were estimated …

Dealing with airport congestion : development of tactical tools for the departure flows from a large airport
Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Technology and Policy Program, 1998.

Modeling and Control of Queuing Networks: Applications to Airport Surface Operations
… over the past few decades has led to increased congestion at major airports worldwide. Airport congestion results in increased flight delays, fuel burn and emissions. There is consequently a need to accurately model airport traffic operations and to design control algorithms that mitigate …

Essays on airport and airway congestion
Runway and airspace congestion are the primary causes of flight delays in the US. These delays cost airlines and airline customers billions of dollars per year. This thesis consists of two essays. The first essay focuses on several of the commonly proposed market-based solutions to airport …

Robust crew pairing : delays analysis and implementation of optimization approaches
With increasing delays and airport congestion that disturb airline operations, the development of robust schedules is becoming crucial. Increased traffic and poor weather are a few of the causes of airport congestion, rising delays and lengthening passenger trips. In this thesis, we identify the …

Integrated allocation and utilization of airport capacity to mitigate air traffic congestion
The combination of air traffic growth and airport capacity limitations has resulted in significant congestion throughout the US National Airspace System, which imposes large costs on the airlines, passengers and society. Absent opportunities for capacity expansion, the mitigation of air traffic …

Analysis of airside operations at Singapore Changi Airport
… has been on an upward trend in recent years, and airports have thus become increasingly congested. To alleviate airport congestion, building new infrastructure such as runways to improve capacity is an obvious solution but it is highly expensive and has a long lead time. In the short term, airport …

An integrated approach to the optimal runway exit locations
The airport capacity problem has recently received a great deal of attention due to airport congestion and delays. Capacity improvements of airfield and airspace component of an airport are currently being addressed by several researchers and federal and state agencies. The optimal location of …

A computer simulation model to predict airport capacity enhancements
… air transportation system is causing a lot of congestion and delays, leading to large monetary losses and passenger inconvenience. This has prompted the development of many analysis tools to help the understanding of the airport system where some improvements could be performed to enhance the …

The evolution of passenger accessibility in the US airline industry, 1980-2010
… continental US Primary and Commercial Service airports. The results indicate that between 1980 and 2010 accessibility declined in terms of path quality and circuity, but those declines were offset by accessibility increases in terms of lower fares which resulted in increased passenger volume. …

New approaches to airline recovery problems
… by estimating systemic delays at hub airports (and the uncertainty thereof) and ignoring other contingent disruption sources. It formulates a dynamic stochastic integer programming framework to minimize network-wide expected disruption recovery costs. Specifically, our Stochastic …
-
Estimation and tactical allocation of airport capacity in the presence of uncertainty
Major airports in the United States and around the world have seen an increase in congestion-related delays over the past few years. Because airport congestion is caused by an imbalance between available capacity and demand, the efficient use of available capacity is critical to mitigating air …

AHS Maglev System Architecture
… Moreover, the ability of AHS Maglev to alleviate airport congestion by reducing short and medium range of flights, and to serve as a structuring device for rational population distribution is shown.
-
A stochastic and dynamic model of delay propagation within an airport network for policy analysis
… travel increases over the years and many busy airports operate close to their capacity limits, congestion at some airports on any given day can quickly spread throughout the National Aviation System (NAS). It is therefore increasingly important to study the operation of large networks of …

Modeling of Airline and Passenger Dynamics in the National Airspace System (NAS)
… interactions between airlines, travelers, and airports of a small-scale transportation system. Three airlines, one low cost and two network airlines are simulated to examine how each airline behaves over time to maximize their profit margins for a given passenger demand and operation cost …
