Transient Analysis of D ( t ) / M ( t ) / 1 Queuing System with Applications to Computing Airport Delays

This thesis is motivated by the desire to estimate air traffic delays at airports under a range of assumptions about the predictability of (a) inter-arrival times of demands (arrivals and departures) and (b) service times of aircraft movements (landings and takeoffs). It consists of two main parts. In the first, a transient analysis of a D(t)/M(t)/1 queuing system is presented. The reason for f...

Mathematical Optimizationg models for Air Traffic Flow Management: A review

Congestion problems are becoming increasingly acute in many European and American airports and air sectors. To protect Air Traffic Control (ATC) from overload a planning activity called Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) tries to anticipate and prevent overload and limit resulting delays. When the traffic expects to exceed the airport arrival and departure capacities or the airsector capacity a...

Arrival/Departure Capacity Tradeoff Optimization: a Case Study at the St

The busiest European and US airports are still a major bottleneck in the air transportation network. Optimizing utilization of existing airport capacity during periods of congestion, to maximize the airport throughput and minimize delays, is a challenging task. It is important for both strategic (several hours into the future) traffic flow management (TFM) and tactical air traffic control (ATC)...

Investigating on the Effects of Congestion Pricing on Increasing Public Transit Share

Nowadays, traffic management policy in metropolitans is focused on increasing the share of public transit. The limitation of supply and slowing growth of road infrastructures have provided congestion for users who choose personal cars. Therefore, applying demand management policies which decrease the utility of personal cars and increase the tendency to public transit can be very important. Con...
