Three different stereoscopic 3D visualisations are compared with the 2D display currently used at air traffic control (ATC) controller working positions. Using safety critical air traffic scenarios, air traffic controllers (ATCOs), pilots, and two groups of laypersons, one of which with an appropriate training, are asked to judge safety critical scenarios showing two converging aircraft. To sim...

the aim of this research paper is the introduction of a novel mathematical approach to improvethe accuracy of the results of air pollution dispersion models based on the calibration of input backgroundconcentrations. using the dunkirk area of the city of nottingham in the uk as a case study, an air pollutionmodel in adms-roads was created for developing the mathematical approach. the iterative ...

To assess operational performance of air traffic control sector, a multivariate detection index system consisting of 5 variables and 17 indicators is presented, which includes operational trafficability, operational complexity, operational safety, operational efficiency, and air traffic controller workload. An improved comprehensive evaluation method, is designed for the assessment by optimizin...

This study addresses the significant changes in air transportation for Turkey with opening of Istanbul Airport and investigates advantages disadvantages brought about by new airport. Previously; providing a service Istanbul, Atatürk had limited capacity terms resulting mostly ineffective use time resources. Thus; this points out how İstanbul solves problems experienced previously expectations b...

Inspired by an existing linear dynamic system air traffic model, a discrete-time Link Transmission Model is developed for air traffic flow prediction and optimization in this paper. Compared with a Large-capacity Cell Transmission Model, this model reduces the number of state variables by approximately an order of 10, which decreases the computing time in prediction and optimization of air traf...

The adverse effects of traffic-related air pollution on children's respiratory health have been widely reported, but few studies have evaluated the impact of traffic-control policies designed to reduce urban air pollution. We assessed associations between traffic-related air pollutants and respiratory/allergic symptoms amongst 8-9 year-old schoolchildren living within the London Low Emission Zo...

Wang, Hao. M.S.A.A., Purdue University, May 2015. ADS-B Used in Improvement of Air Traffic Control. Major Professor: Dengfeng Sun. Automatic dependent surveillance – broadcast (ADS–B) is a central component of the NextGen air traffic control program. This surveillance technology can replace current secondary surveillance radars (SSR) and improve cockpit situational awareness. The service can im...

In cognitive radio networks a secondary user needs to estimate the primary users’ air traffic patterns so as to optimize its transmission strategy. In this chapter, the authors describe a nonparametric Bayesian method for identifying traffic applications, since the traffic applications have their own distinctive air traffic patterns. In the proposed algorithm, the collapsed Gibbs sampler is app...

A four year long research programme divided into four phases has been designed for the first time to assess the combined Noise-Air quality and combined exposure to Noise-Air pollution at the curbside open-air microenvironment of Kolkata city, India. The results and the findings of the different phases of study had already been published. The objective of the review work is to fuse the findings ...
