This paper explores a multiple runway scheduling problem and generates the schedule for arrivals, departures and crossing aircraft planning to use the runways within a given planning horizon. We present a mixed integer linear programming-based model that explicitly considers separation criteria between pairs of aircraft and also incorporates various Traffic Management Initiatives. It also inclu...

An interactive microcomputer program referred to as runway exit design interactive model (REDIM) has been developed to optimally locate and design high-speed runway exits at airports. The model uses kinematic equations to characterize the aircraft landing dynamics and a polynomial-time dynamic programming algorithm to find the optimal locations of the high-speed exits. The objective of the opti...

This paper studies the use of sensitivities to quantify the extent to which individual airline departments (stakeholders) contribute to the incident of runway overrun. For that purpose, we present a model of the incident runway overrun. The incident model is based on the dynamics of aircraft and describes the functional relationship between contributing factors leading to the incident. The inci...

Precise navigation is often performed by sensor fusion of different sensors. Among these sensors, optical sensors use image features to obtain the position and attitude camera. Runway relative during final approach a special case where robust continuous detection runway required. This paper presents threshold marker method for monocular cameras introduces an on-board real-time implementation wi...

Runway surface conditions are fundamental to ensure safety during landing and takeoff operations of aircrafts. In this manner, airport operators required monitor the coefficient friction macrotexture runways maintain its plan maintenance rehabilitation strategies when appropriate, since both these parameters get deteriorated with time. Thus, assist aerodrome regulatory agencies in decision-maki...

The present study established a novel mouse model of a runway drug self-administration in our laboratory. The operant runway apparatus consisted of three long runways arranged in a zig-zag manner. The methodology consisted of six distinct phases: habituation, preconditioning, conditioning, post-conditioning, extinction and reinstatement. The effects of saline were compared with escalating doses...

Wildlife collision data are ubiquitous, though challenging for making ecological inference due to typically irreducible uncertainty relating to the sampling process. We illustrate a new approach that is useful for generating inference from predator data arising from wildlife collisions. By simply conditioning on a second prey species sampled via the same collision process, and by using a biolog...

BACKGROUND/AIMS This study was performed in order to elucidate the effects of 7-nitroindazole (7-NI) and L-arginine on cognitive functions of rats in a three-panel runway task. METHODS 7-NI (2.5, 5, 10 mg/kg) and L-arginine (200 mg/kg) were injected intraperitoneally into male Wistar rats 30 min before the test. RESULTS 7-NI (5, 10 mg/kg) significantly increased the number of errors (pushes...
