The Effect of Airline Scheduling on Airport Delays
… airlines to over schedule many of the larger hub airports in the United States causing many delays in the nation’s air traffic control system. Of the large hub airports in the United States a convenience sample was taken to ensure the needed data was present. Schedule data for the time period of …

Responses to airport delays : a system study of Newark International Airport
Airport delays are a significant problem in the United States air transportation system. Between 1997 and 2000 the number of flights delayed increased by between 20 and 25% per year, despite only a 3 to 5% increase in enplanements per year. Newark International Airport (EWR), one of New York City's …

The Effect of Airport Delays on the Evolution of the U.S. Air Travel Network
… the question of how U.S. airlines respond to airport-based delays at domestic airports using data from the FAAs On-Time Performance database and aircraft inventories for major U.S. Airlines. Three delay mitigation techniques are studied: increasing aircraft size, rerouting transit passengers, …

Transient analysis of D(t)/M(t)/1 queuing system with applications to computing airport delays
… motivated by the desire to estimate air traffic delays at airports under a range of assumptions about the predictability of (a) inter-arrival times of demands (arrivals and departures) and (b) service times of aircraft movements (landings and takeoffs). It consists of two main parts. In the …

Spectral Models for Air Transportation Networks
… reflect only the magnitude of incurred flight delays at airports. In the first half of the thesis, we show that it is also important to consider the spatial distribution of delays across a network of airports. We analyze graph-supported signals, leveraging techniques from spectral graph theory …

Simulation-Based Study to Quantify Data-Communication Benefits in Congested Airport Terminal Area
… was evaluated from the double viewpoint of airport delays and air traffic controllers' workload. RAMS simulation software is used to perform all the runs and from its output data the values of terminal area delays and controllers workload are obtained. The New York Metroplex terminal area …

Modeling and Control of Networked Systems: Applications to Air Transportation
… traffic has resulted in congestion and flight delays. Delays not only inconvenience passengers but also have negative environmental impacts and cause monetary losses for airlines. Reducing delays is therefore crucial for operating a sustainable, efficient, and robust aviation infrastructure. …

An integrated model of flight and passenger delay for policy analysis in the National Air Transportation System
… travel has increased over the years and so have airport delays and congestion. Delays have a huge impact on airline costs and influence the satisfaction of passengers, thus becoming an important topic of research in the field of air transportation. In recent literature, a Passenger Delay …
