The Air Traffic Control (ATC) domain is concerned with controlling and monitoring air traffic from a source airport to a destination airport. A number of cooperating agents distributed throughout the ATC environment ensure that a safe, orderly and expenditious movement of traffic in airspace is achieved. Starting with a general discussion on the mechanics of ATC especially its operation, the pa...

Kazakhstan, like other former Soviet Republics, inherited a number of serious environmental problems. Air pollution is one of these serious problems, leading to significant environmental health effects on the population of Kazakhstan.

Precise anticipation and stratification of transport-relevant illness severity in the planning stage of an air medical evacuation is crucial for mission success and patient safety. METHODS We developed a staging system (ie, Stratification of Air Medical Transport by Expression of ...

Air quality prediction plays an important role in the management of our environment. Computational power and efficiencies have advanced to the point where chemical transport models can predict pollution in an urban air shed with spatial resolution less than a kilometer, and cover the globe with a horizontal resolution of less than 50 km. Predicting air quality remains a challenge due to the com...

management of traumatized patients after road accidents is in many countries still a serious challenge. apart from technical problems in management of car accidents, the recovery and rescue of the patients and their transport to hospital need exact planning and efficient strategy. present lecture compares the trauma management in an industrial country like germany with this in iran. present wor...

Large cities in Asia have unique transport problems. Traffic management alone is limited in solving the problems of urban transportation, and introduction of guided transit systems separate from ground-level transport is essential in solving these problems. This article describes some of the recent measures, including finance resources, taken to solve Asian urban transportation problems. The ad...

Air transport industry has gradually increased its share of global passenger and freight traffic, and this trend has accelerated in the last 40 years. For the past decade, air-freight traffic growth has outpaced air passenger traffic growth by 1-2% each year. In the past, air-freight sector offered limited services, with heavy reliance on several intermediaries and a significant dependence on a...
