Border Effects in Passenger Air Traffic

Air quality in passenger aircraft

2 Aircraft cabin ventilation In early commercial jet aircraft, passenger cabins were ventilated with 100% outside air. In more recent jet aircraft, approximately 50% of the ventilation air is outside air and the remaining 50% is filtered recirculated cabinair. This development has allowed for fuel savings as well as a supposed improvement in the relative humidity of cabin air. With typical pass...

Forecasting Air Passenger Traffic Flows in Canada: An Evaluation of Time Series Models and Combination Methods

This master’s thesis studies the Canadian air transportation sector, which has experienced significant growth over the past fifteen years. It provides short and medium term forecasts of the number of enplaned/deplaned air passengers in Canada for three geographical subdivisions of the market: domestic, transborder (US) and international flights. It uses various time series forecasting models: h...

Air Traffic Impact Analysis Design for a Suborbital Point-to-Point Passenger Transport Concept

Space flight activities are growing on an international level, thereby creating an evident need for a safe and efficient integration of space vehicle operations into the air traffic system. For concepts like very high-speed intercontinental passenger transport via suborbital point-2-point flights, as it is proposed by the DLR SpaceLiner, this integration issue is becoming especially relevant. A...

Safety Culture in Air Traffic Management: Air Traffic Control

In a joint research project – Human Factors in Air Navigation Services, HUFA – between the Swedish Civil Aviation Administration and Lund University the focus is on human and organizational factors and safety in air traffic control. The Swedish Air Navigation Services (ANS) are undergoing major organizational changes in order to adapt to changing demands on efficiency and technical development ...
