Deep Learning Prediction Models for Runway Configuration Selection and Taxi Times Based on Surface Weather
… operationally and financially. Additionally, runway configuration selection at an airport significantly impacts the airport capacity, throughput, and delays as it is vital in directing the flow of air traffic in and out of an airport. Runway configuration selection is based on interrelated …

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 …

Data-driven modeling of the airport runway configuration selection process using maximum likelihood discrete-choice models
The runway configuration is a key driver of airport capacity at any time. Several factors, such as wind speed, wind direction, visibility, traffic demand, air traffic controller workload, and the coordination of flows with neighboring airports influence the selection of the runway configuration. …

Modeling and control of the departure process of congested airports
… in the case of Boston Logan airport, using runway configuration and traffic data from the Airline Service Quality Performance (ASQP) dataset. The model is then used to evaluate preliminary departure control schemes aimed at alleviating congestion on the airport surface. The potential impact …

A comparison of capacity and delay values between parallel and intersecting runway configurations at a major airport
… delay benefits that would result if a "fanway" configuration of runways were utilized for arrival aircraft operations at a major airport. The Federal Aviation Administration's Delay Simulation Model was employed to determine capacity and delay values so that a conventional runway configuration …

Development of a Fast Method to Analyze Patterns in Airport Noise
… in noise patterns depending on evolving airport runway configuration. N60 is calculated as a supplemental metric on a daily basis.

Integrated simulation and optimization in airfield networks
… with airport ground network operations and runway design problems. An aircraft landing simulation model is proposed to predict landing aircraft operations in airfield networks considering gate location and taxiway network information. By using the integrated simulation results, an improved …

Air traffic flow management at airports : a unified optimization approach
… key problems faced at an airport: a) selecting a runway configuration sequence; b) determining the balance of arrivals and departures to be served; c) assigning flights to runways and determining their sequence; d) determining the gate-holding duration of departures and speedcontrol of arrivals; …

A Simulation of the Impacts of Climate Change on Civil Aircraft Takeoff Performance
… the headwind speed for each airport’s active runway configuration was triangulated from the wind vector components. Separately, a direct takeoff-dynamics simulation model was developed from first principles and calibrated against published performance data under international standard …

Estimation and tactical allocation of airport capacity in the presence of uncertainty
… on the prevailing weather (visibility) and the runway configuration. This thesis proposes a discrete choice framework for modeling the selection of airport runway configurations, given weather and demand forecasts. The model is estimated and validated for Newark (EWR) and LaGuardia (LGA) …
