Over the past few decades, air traffic has experienced a tremendous Growth. However, as the air traffic develops, the limitation of the runway becomes the bottleneck during the airport operation and scheduling aircraft landing present a complex daily task encountered by most air traffic control towers. In this paper, we study the Multiple Runway case of the Aircraft Landing Problem (MRALP), whi...

Rats were trained to run a straight-alley maze for an oral cocaine or sucrose vehicle solution reward, followed by either response or latent extinction training procedures that engage neuroanatomically dissociable "habit" and "cognitive" memory systems, respectively. In the response extinction condition, rats performed a runway approach response to an empty fluid well. In the latent extinction ...

A human-in-the-loop simulation was conducted to evaluate advanced controller support tools and display enhancements in terminal airspace. Terminal-area air traffic controllers managed aircraft arriving on optimized profile descents along Area Navigation routes following runway arrival schedules using only speed clearances in the presence of forecast wind errors and other disturbances. Three suc...

Air traffic growth and especially hubs development cause new significant congestion and ground delays on major airports. Accurate models of airport traffic prediction can provide new tools to assist ground controllers in choosing the best taxiways and the most adapted holding points for aircraft. Such tools could also be used by airport designers to evaluate possible improvements on airport con...

A mathematical model is developed that treats rats in runways as uniformly accelerated bodies. The purpose of the model is to permit conversion of the continuously varying measures of runway speeds at different points in the alley into three invariant parameters of performance: start latency, acceleration, and brakepoint. This simple model fits most of the data examined, and changes in the para...

ASDE-X is a runway safety system that fuses data from multiple sources to provide enhanced air traffic control situational awareness. These data may also be used to manage arrival and departure delay at congested airports. This paper demonstrates the potential for delay management by using departure data recorded by the ASDE-X system at JFK Airport before runway reconstruction in 2010 began. Th...

Airports lose significant capacity during instrument conditions. Several plans are afoot to expand the nations’ airports to achieve sufficient runway spacing for independent IFR approaches. The projected cost of the ten largest projects in the United States is $8 16 Billion. The ability to conduct Closely Spaced Parallel Approaches (CSPA) in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) could redu...

Aircraft Arrester Barrier Systems (AABS) are installed at the end of the runway to overcome the runway length on war ships. This system is used for the purpose of stop the combat aircraft due to aborted take-off and emergency landings. The conventional AABS is uncontrolled and highly non-linear system during the operation of aircraft arrestment system. Energy absorbing system is an important pa...
