Operational Test Results of the Passive Final Approach Spacing Tool
نویسنده
چکیده
A prototype decision support tool for terminal area air traffic controllers, referred to as the Final Approach Spacing Tool (FAST), was recently evaluated in operation with live air traffic at the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas Airport. Controllers utilized FAST’s runway and sequence advisories to manage and control arrival traffic during more than twenty-five peak rush traffic periods. This paper presents the results of these tests, describing data on FAST’s impact on airport capacity, in-trail separation on final approach, safety, and controller workload. Results demonstrate airport throughput increases of more than 13 percent with no negative impact on controller workload or safety.

In this paper, we propose an efficient approach to design optimization of analog circuits that is based on the reinforcement learning method. In this work, Multi-Objective Learning Automata (MOLA) is used to design a two-stage CMOS operational amplifier (op-amp) in 0.25μm technology. The aim is optimizing power consumption and area so as to achieve minimum Total Optimality Index (TOI), as a new...
متن کاملAn Operational Concept and Evaluation of Airline Based En Route Sequencing and Spacing
This paper describes an operational concept for airline operations centers (AOC) to implement desired arrival sequences and spacing over an en route arrival merge fix and reports the results of an initial field-test. The operational concept is termed Airline Based En route Sequencing and Spacing (ABESS). ABESS allows the AOC to set up arrival flows for transition into advanced flight procedures...
