-This paper describes the design, development and results from a high fidelity human-in-the-loop simulation of an integrated set of trajectory-based automation tools providing precision scheduling, sequencing and controller merging and spacing functions. These integrated functions are combined into a system called the Terminal Area Precision Scheduling and Spacing (TAPSS) system. It is a strate...

Preliminary note Numerical simulation procedures for landing dynamics of large transport aircraft are briefly presented. Developed numerical procedures allow for determination of dynamic response of landing aircraft for different flight and touch-down parameters. A non-linear dynamic model of landing aircraft, which serves as a basis for computational procedures, is synthesised by modelling of ...

The problem of sequencing and scheduling airplanes landing and taking off on a runway is under consideration. We propose a new family of valid inequalities which are obtained from the study of the single machine scheduling problem polytope.

To ensure the operation safety of landing signal officer (LSO) to pilot during carrierbased aircraft landing, the paper proposed a “LSO-pilot-aircraft” instruction associated with operation system. LSO guide mission, and design instruction associated with operation element is been analysed. The relationship and matching of “LSO-pilotaircraft” system are exhibited by instruction associated with ...

The airline industry has been changed significantly after the September 11 of 2001, while delay and congestion at airport have been consistently a problem to passengers, airlines and airports since the last decade of the 20 century. Most of previous methods to reduce airport delay and congestion mainly focus on airport capacity expansion through building new runways, which incurs billions of do...

As the demand for air transportation continues to grow, some flights cannot land at their preferred landing times because the airport is near its runway capacity. Therefore, devising a method for tackling the Aircraft Landing Problem (ALP) in order to optimize the usage of existing runways at airports is the focus of this study. This study, a hybrid Genetic-Cuckoo Search (GCS) algorithm for opt...

We study robust hovering control of vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) aircraft. For hovering control, we can model a V/STOL aircraft as a planar vertical takeoff and landing (PVTOL) aircraft. We use a recently developed optimal control approach to design a robust hovering control. The resulting control is a nonlinear state feedback whose robustness is demonstrated by numerical simulat...

Due to the rapid growth of air transport traffic, how to efficiently allocate gates at airports to incoming or outgoing flights has become one of the most important problems which managers of airlines and airports have to concern about. The problem, which can be modeled as a scheduling problem, is often referred to as flight gate scheduling. The main purpose of flight gate scheduling is to find...
