Examining the Temporal Evolution of Propagated Delays at Individual Airports: Case Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Delay propagation is a well-known phenomenon within the global air transportation system. Specifically, because of equipment and crew connectivity, a flight delayed early in the day can induce delays to multiple flights later in the day. In this paper we investigate this phenomenon by developing a statistical model that predicts the average flight delay after a given breakpoint time b, based on the average delay before b. We then vary b and are able to quantify the extent of delay propagation and understand its temporal evolution. We estimate this model for several U. S. airports and are able to compare these airports with respect to their delay propagation characteristics.

Modelling Delay Propagation within an Airport Network
This paper is concerned with the propagation of delays within a large network of major airports. As more airports in the United States and in Europe become more congested, it also becomes increasingly likely that delays at one or more airports will spread to other parts of the network. We describe an analytical queuing and network decomposition model developed to study this complex phenomenon. ...
متن کاملOn time-dependent neutral stochastic evolution equations with a fractional Brownian motion and infinite delays
In this paper, we consider a class of time-dependent neutral stochastic evolution equations with the infinite delay and a fractional Brownian motion in a Hilbert space. We establish the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions for these equations under non-Lipschitz conditions with Lipschitz conditions being considered as a special case. An example is provided to illustrate the theory
متن کاملHow Much Delay does New York Inject into the National Airspace System? A Graph Theory Analysis
A 2010 Government Accountability Office (GAO) study reported nearly 40 percent of all delays occurring in the National Airspace System (NAS) were caused by New York airports. In this paper, however, a local network analysis of the NAS elucidates New York’s delay phenomena as multifaceted. Furthermore, a graph theory measure, node strength, is used to analyze directed weighted graphs representin...
متن کاملA Queuing Model of Airport Congestion and Policy Implications at JFK and EWR
Since the phasing-out of the High Density Rule, access to major commercial airports in the United States has been unconstrained or, in the case of the airports of New York, weakly constrained. This largely unregulated demand combined with capacity constraints led to record delay levels in 2007, whose costs were estimated as in excess of $30 billion a year. Mitigating airport congestion may be a...
متن کاملAdvanced Dynamic Simulation of Membrane Desalination Modules Accounting for Organic Fouling
A reliable dynamic simulator (based on a sound process model) is highly desirable for optimizing the performance of individual membrane modules and of entire desalination plants. This paper reports on progress toward development of a comprehensive model of the complicated physical-chemical processes occurring in spiral wound membrane (SWM) modules, that accounts for the...
