Maximising runway capacity by mid-term prediction of runway configuration and aircraft sequencing using machine learning
Maximising runway capacity is one of the essential measures to meet the growing traffic demand. Runway capacity maximisation is an open challenge in the literature due to a complex and non-linear interplay of many factors which are stochastic in nature such as wind, weather, and arrival and …
