Federal and state transportation laws require that a long range transportation plan (LRTP) be developed in urban areas of greater than 50,000 people. The agency responsible for conducting the long range transportation planning process is the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The Florida Metropolitan Planning Organization Advisory Council (MPOAC) assists individual MPOs in carrying out t...

We present a long range planning (LRP) system, the Spike Plan Window Scheduler, which has been in use for observations on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) for the past four years and which is being adapted for the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) and Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) orbiting astronomical observatories. Due to the relatively underconstrained nature of this domain,...

This paper presents a time-based path planning optimizer for separation assurance for unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Given Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) as a sensor, position, velocity, and identification information is available at ranges on the order of 50 nautical miles. Such long-range intruder detection facilitates path planning for separation assurance, but also poses...
