This paper describes the design and implementation of the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) anti-phishing landing page, a web page with a succinct anti-phishing training message designed to be displayed in place of a phishing website that has been taken down. The landing page is currently being used by financial institutions, phish site take-down vendors, government organizations and online me...

The Aircraft Landing Problem consists in sequencing aircraft on the available runways and scheduling their landing times taking into consideration several operational constraints, order to increase runway capacity and/or reduce delays. In this work we propose a new Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) model for landings single or multiple independent incorporating safety constraints by means of sepa...

This work investigates the TRACON flow management around a major airport. Aircraft flows are analyzed through a study of TRACON trajectories records. Rerouting and queuing processes are highlighted and airport characteristics are shown as function of the number of planes in the TRACON. Then, a simple input-output TRACON queuing and landing model is proposed. This model is calibrated and validat...

Safety in transport is a major concern. Air medical crashes are in the public eye, but a greater risk of transport may be in the clinical care provided along the way. While the media focuses on the drama of helicopters landing on scene, the greatest and most common risk actually occurs during inter-hospital transport. For too long, transport has been a black hole in clinical medicine and the re...

Wing-in-Ground Effect vehicle (WIG-craft) or ekranoplane landing direction optimization criteria is suggested which heeds the irregular sea waves features and provides the minimal mechanical strain on the vehicle body at hydrodynamic braking. The problem of automatic choice of the landing trajectory direction regarding the main direction of sea waves spread is under consideration. The peculiari...

BACKGROUND Identification of biomechanical risk factors associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury can facilitate injury prevention. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of three foot landing positions, "toe-in", "toe-out" and "neutral", on biomechanical risk factors for ACL injury in males and females. The authors hypothesize that 1) relative to neutral, the toe...

We describe our experience with modeling the landing gear system of an aircraft using the formal speci cation language Fiacre. Our model takes into account the behavior and timing properties of both the physical parts and the control software of this system. We use this formal model to check safety and real-time properties on the system but also to nd a safe bound on the maximal time needed for...

Due to the random nature of the ship’s motion in an open water environment, the deployment and the landing of air vehicles from a ship can often be difficult and even dangerous. The ability to reliably predict the motion will allow improvements in safety on board ships and facilitate more accurate deployment of vehicles off ships. This paper presents an investigation into the application of art...

Federal Aviation Regulations state that systems must be designed so that the occurrence of any single failure condition which would prevent the continued safe flight and landing of the airplane is extremely improbable [1], where extremely improbable is quantitatively defined as less than 10 per flight hour. Qualitatively, such event is not anticipated to occur in the entire fleet operational li...

Amethod for thenumerical computation of reachable sets for hybrid systems is presented andapplied to thedesign and safety analysis of autoland systems. It is shown to be applicable to specific phases of landing: descent, flare, and touchdown. The method is based on optimal control and level set methods; it simultaneously computes a maximal controlled invariant set and a set-valued control law g...
