Deep Learning Prediction Models for Runway Configuration Selection and Taxi Times Based on Surface Weather
… airports in the nation. Ground delays, including taxi time delays, directly impacts the block time and block fuel for flights which affects the airlines operationally and financially. Additionally, runway configuration selection at an airport significantly impacts the airport capacity, throughput, …

Modeling and control of airport departure processes for emissions reduction
Taxiing aircraft contribute significantly to the fuel burn and emissions at airports. This thesis investigates the possibility of reducing fuel burn and emissions from surface operations through a reduction of the taxi times of departing aircraft. Data analysis of the departing traffic in four …

Modeling of ground operations using end-around (perimeter) taxiways for the modernized Chicago O'Hare International Airport
… Further, the use of perimeter or end-around taxiways (EAT) have been tested in ARENA© using a full-scale post-OMP airport layout of ORD. Impacts on safety, runway occupancy times and overall airport efficiency in future high traffic scenarios have been analyzed. Results show that the …

Benefits of Additional Runway Crossings on Parallel Runway Operations
… inefficiency and risk. Building end-around taxiways are the only strategy to avoid crossings, but these are not always feasible, and therefore airport planners must find alternatives. This study consisted of a simulation over an airport that currently requires a vast amount of its arrivals …

Improvements to Airport Systems Capacity and Efficiency Using Computer Models and Tools
… represents a new method for estimating unimpeded taxi times for taxing airplanes at airports. This study focused specifically on 6 large airports in the United States and the real ground radar data for all of the movements at those facilities. By tracking the real trajectories of every operation, …

Networked control of aircraft operations at airports and in terminal areas
… (1) the objective of reducing aircraft flight times, taxi times and fuel burn, (2) the emphasis on developing models using data from actual aircraft operations, (3) the need to be compatible with current air traffic control procedures, and (4) the requirement to not adversely affect airport …
