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 …

Efficient capacity allocation in a collaborative air transportation system
This thesis proposes methods of allocating airport capacity to the users of the National Airspace System (NAS) during periods in which demand for the resources exceeds capacity. A metric by which the proposed methods are judged is the value that the users of the N AS are able to realize through the …
