Use of Queuing Models to Estimate Delay Savings from 4D Trajectory Precision
نویسندگان
چکیده
The potential benefit from introducing trajectory based operations into the NAS is estimated in this paper. Delay predictions of a stochastic and a deterministic queuing model, which represent high and low levels of trajectory uncertainty, are compared. It is found that delay savings are on the order of 35% in the average case, Delay predictions from the various models are found to be strongly collinear over a wide range of congestion levels. Keywords-4D trajectories; NextGen; queuing model; delay savings

A Framework for Stochastic Air Traffic Flow Modeling and Analysis
A framework for stochastic traffic flow modeling over the U. S. National airspace based on queuing network models is advanced. The proposed framework allows the inclusion of a wide variety of trajectory uncertainties such as delays due to weather deviation, air traffic control actions, en route wind, aircraft performance, navigation system precision and flight control. En route queuing networks...
متن کاملQueuing Time Prediction Using WiFi Positioning Data in an Indoor Scenario
Queuing is common in urban public places. Automatically monitoring and predicting queuing time can not only help individuals to reduce their wait time and alleviate anxiety but also help managers to allocate resources more efficiently and enhance their ability to address emergencies. This paper proposes a novel method to estimate and predict queuing time in indoor environments based on WiFi pos...
متن کاملEfficiency Benefits Using the Terminal Area Precision Scheduling and Spacing System
NASA has developed a capability for terminal area precision scheduling and spacing (TAPSS) to increase the use of fuel-efficient arrival procedures during periods of traffic congestion at a high-density airport. Sustained use of fuel-efficient procedures throughout the entire arrival phase of flight reduces overall fuel burn, greenhouse gas emissions and noise pollution. The TAPSS system is a 4...
متن کاملQueueing Models for Operations in NextGen
This paper develops a queueing model for trajectorybased aircraft operations, expected to take place in the Next Generation Air Transportation System. Aircraft are assigned scheduled times of arrival at a server, which they meet with some normally distributed stochastic error. A recursive queueing model is formulated, and Clark's approximation method is employed to estimate each flight’s expect...
متن کاملQueuing Models for Analyzing the Impact of Trajectory Uncertainties on the NAS Flow Efficiency
The application of Queuing Theory to quantify the relationships between trajectory uncertainties due to aviation operations, precision of navigation and control, and traffic flow efficiency in the National Airspace System is discussed. This work builds on a previous research effort on Markovian queuing network models of the NAS. Two approaches for incorporating the trajectory uncertainties in t...
