A Note on Runway Capacity Definition and Safety

A Model for Runway Landing Flow and Capacity with Risk and Cost Benefit Factors

As the demand for the civil aviation has been growing for decades and the system becoming increasingly complex, the use of systems engineering and operations research tools have shown to be of further use in managing this system. In this study, we apply such tools in managing landing operations on runways (as the bottleneck and highly valuable resources of air transportation networks) to handle...

A note on Devaney's definition of chaos

Devaney defines a function to be chaotic if it satisfies three conditions: transitivity, having dense set of periodic points and sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Banks et al prove that if the function is continuous then the third conditioin is implied from the first two and therefore is redundant. However, if the function is not assumed to be continuous, then it is not known if the t...

Runway Safety: Technologies for Debris Detection

Of course, debris detection is important throughout the manoeuvring areas of an airport, not just the runway. We have chosen to concentrate on the active runway because that presents the most demanding environment, from both the physical and regulatory viewpoints. For example, there can be severe acoustic vibration and the sensor mountings must be less than ninety centimetres tall; both of whic...

A Simulation Study to Investigate Runway Capacity Using TAAM

Author: Prakash Subramanian Title: A Simulation Study to Investigate Runway Capacity Using TAAM Institution: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Degree: Master of Business Administration in Aviation Year: 2002 This study outlines a method to evaluate runway layouts using simulation, to aid in the airport planning and decision making process. As a sample study, the maximum throughput capacities...

A note on the representation and definition of semiseparable matrices

In this paper the definition of semiseparable matrices is investigated. Properties of the frequently used definition and the corresponding representation by generators are deduced. Corresponding to the class of tridiagonal matrices another definition of semisepar-able matrices is introduced preserving the nice properties dual to the class of tridiagonal matrices. Several theorems and properties...
