چکیده

Many major airports in the U.S. rely on simultaneous approaches to closely-spaced parallel (CSP) runways to maintain a high airport acceptance rate. During Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC), aircraft are able to utilize both runways by making side-by-side landings and are able to meet the demands of heavy volume. However, when conditions deteriorate to marginalVMC or Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC), side-by-side approaches are not possible due to the inherent safety concerns associated with lowered ceilings and visibilities. This situation is severely limiting to an airport’s capacity and can create large delays and increased costs. Various ideas have been suggested that would facilitate the simultaneous use of CSP runways during low ceiling and visibility (LCV) conditions at capacityrestricted airports.

Statistical and synoptic analysis of erosive wind in North-West of Iran

The occurrence of erosive winds in the North West of Iran always causes damage to urban facilities and agricultural fields. By identifying behavior and synoptic patterns of Strong winds, necessary strategies can be chosen to deal with this destructive phenomenon. In this study, the fastest erosive winds and its steadiness coefficient were analyzed in selected stations of North West of Iran. Sui...

Analysis of wind erosion and transport potential of quick sands located in the territory of Lut desert

Extended abstract 1- Introduction Arid and semi-arid regions of the world cover more than 30% of the earthchr('39')s surface. Wind, as one of the erosive agents of the earthchr('39')s surface, causes the transport of sand and deformation in arid areas. Wind erosion is directly related to wind speed. The higher the wind speed is above the threshold value, the more increase in wind speed. This ...

A Statistical Analysis of the Aircraft Landing Process

Managing operations of the aircraft approach process and analyzing runway landing capacity, utilization and related risks require detailed insight into the stochastic characteristics of the process. These characteristics can be represented by probability distributions. The focus of this study is analyzing landings on a runway operating independent of other runways making it as a single runway. ...

ظرفیت شبکه های حذفی تحت کدینگ فضایی شبکه

     We study the capacity of point-to-point erasure networks under a restricted form of network coding to which we refer as spatial network coding. In this form of coding, the nodes can not perform coding on successive packets which are received from one incoming link. The coding at a node is restricted to the packets received at the same time slot from different incoming links...
