The Aircraft Landing Problem consists in sequencing aircraft on the available runways and scheduling their landing times taking into consideration several operational constraints, order to increase runway capacity and/or reduce delays. In this work we propose a new Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) model for landings single or multiple independent incorporating safety constraints by means of sepa...

national airport (LAX) cleared a commuter aircraft to position and hold on runway 24L while she worked to clear other aircraft to cross the other end of the runway. There were several communications delays because one of the other aircraft was on the wrong radio frequency. Visibility was poor at twilight because of haze and glare. The controller’s workload was considered moderate by air traffic...

The purpose of an aircraft Takeoff Performance Monitoring System (TOPMS) is to provide to the pilot information pertaining to the level of safety with which a takeoff is proceeding. The authors have developed a theoretical dynamic model to investigate the feasibility of using an observer system during the roll and takeoff phases of aircraft operation to provide to the pilot the information that...

In this study, a set of numerical simulation analysis methods for studying the dynamic response runway under action aircraft taxiing load are presented. An aircraft-runway coupled vibration model was established, and pavement roughness taken as excitation source; then, obtained. A three-dimensional finite element vertical displacement (VDD) its variation law different void conditions were studi...

The objective of this paper is to assess the veer-off risk of an Italian airport that is characterized for having near 12,000 annual movements. The name of this airport is not disclosed for security purposes. The methodology used followed the principles of probabilistic risk analysis in order to characterize the events and assess the corresponding damages. The study used statistical data about ...

Air traffic management has become increasingly complex due to the increasing use of air transport. One main bottlenecks is planning efficient runways for takeoff and landing. This paper aims investigate Aircraft Landing Problem, which seeks minimize earliness tardiness in aircraft landing time, assigning them a runway land sequencing them. A new mathematical formulation based on Job Shop was pr...

This paper presents the first local search heuristic for the coupled runway sequencing (arrival & departure) and taxiway routing problems, based on the receding horizon (RH) scheme that takes into account the dynamic nature of the problem. As test case, we use Manchester Airport, the third busiest airport in the UK. From the ground movement perspective, the airport layout requires that departin...

Recent proposals for new air traffic control have suggested that advanced digital video technology may remove the need for air traffic controllers to be present in airport towers. In the future airport traffic in particular at small airports may be controlled from a remote location without the need for a physical tower building (Fürstenau & Schulz-Rueckert 2010). Since preliminary investigation...

The investigation of ice formation found important applications in many different fields. For instance, the accretion of ice is a common occurrence on the aircraft, due to the high velocity and humidity, and low temperature at upper air. The detection of ice formation on aircrafts is a critical issue since not only the aerodynamics change, but there is also the possibility of ice liberation fro...
