The present paper focuses on the development of an algorithm for safely and optimally managing the routing of aircraft on an airport surface in future airport operations. This tool is intended to support air traffic controllers’ decision-making in selecting the paths of all aircraft and the engine startup approval time for departing ones. Optimal routes are sought for minimizing the time both a...

The article describes an airport database management system , which is a part of large simulation environment developed under the ESPRIT project SEEDS. Airport management database is a distributed computing system written entirely in Java and connected to the rest of the SEEDS system through CORBA interface. The majority of the SEEDS modules is written in C++ and communicates through CORBA. The...

The flow of departing passengers from the airport inside terminal is affected by strategic and tactical decisions operation teams. made managers regarding opening closing times check-in, boarding, gates are critical to optimize performance operation. In this research, Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport was taken as a use case.Departure building security control, boarding focus entities.The simulation...

OBJECTIVE To measure secondhand smoke levels in workplaces in Guatemala and to compare exposure to levels in other Latin American cities. METHODS Exposure was estimated by passive sampling of vapor phase nicotine using a filter badge. Filters were placed in 1 hospital, 1 school, 2 universities, 1 government building, the airport, and 10 restaurants/bars. In total, 103 filters were deployed (p...

On October 20, 1987, a military reserve aircraft lost power during a transcontinental flight and attempted an emergency landing at The Indianapolis International Airport. The pilot ejected and the disabled and pilotless aircraft struck a bank building. It then skidded across the street and entered the lobby of The Airport Ramada Inn where it exploded. This incident was unusual in that the fatal...

According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the number of runway incursions are rising. The configuration of runways and taxiways at airports has been identified by the FAA as possibly being related to the number of incursions. In this paper, the relationship between airport geometry factors and the number of runway incursions at specific United States airports is explored using sta...

Recent proposals for new air traffic control have suggested that advanced digital video technology may remove the need for air traffic controllers to be present in airport towers. In the future airport traffic in particular at small airports may be controlled from a remote location without the need for a physical tower building (Fürstenau & Schulz-Rueckert 2010). Since preliminary investigation...

atmospheric visibility is a key factor in everyday life mainly in aviation, industry and surface traffic. it has been defined as the greatest distance at which an observer can just see a black object viewed against the horizon sky which is known as the visual range. furthermore, light extinction which is mostly due to absorption and scattering effects of aerosols in the atmosphere, can be calcu...
