Analysis and modeling of airport surface operations
… phase. Recently, increasing the efficiency of surface operations has been recognized to have significant potential benefits in terms of fuel and emissions savings. To identify opportunities for improvement and to quantify the consequent gains in efficiency, it is necessary to characterize …

Modeling and Control of Queuing Networks: Applications to Airport Surface Operations
… 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 airport congestion. In …

Applications of ASDE-X Data to the analysis of airport surface operations
… little research has gone into studying airport surface operations. In recent years a surface surveillance system called Airport Surface Detection Equipment, Model-X (ASDE-X) has been installed at over 30 airports in the US as a safety device. The applications of the data being captured …

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 …

Networked control of aircraft operations at airports and in terminal areas
… this thesis is to develop a control strategy for airport operations that integrates the management of arrivals and departures. The strategy is based on four central ideas: (1) the objective of reducing aircraft flight times, taxi times and fuel burn, (2) the emphasis on developing models using …

Optimizing Integrated Airport Surface and Terminal Airspace Operations under Uncertainty
In airports and surrounding terminal airspaces, the integration of surface, arrival and departure scheduling and routing have the potential to improve the operations efficiency. Moreover, because both the airport surface and the terminal airspace are often altered by random perturbations, the …
