Head-up displays typically used in aircraft and automobiles have limited fields of view, generally less than 30◦. Such systems can provide large, essentially unlimited fields of regard if they are head-mounted. A new alternative for provision of large fields of regard without requiring a head mount is a large format holographic optical element that can serve as a see-though polarization preserv...

A weighted-voting mechanism is presented in which agents are able to jointly decide on plan repair proposals in the airport traffic control domain. The mechanism uses Clarke Tax for incentive compatible bidding. It provides a slider value by which an airport can control the balance between optimality and fairness of plan repair solutions. Special care is taken to ensure that agents have no ince...

The visual requirements for augmented reality or virtual environments displays that might be used in real or virtual towers are reviewed with respect to similar displays already used in aircraft. As an example of the type of human performance studies needed to determine the useful specifications of augmented reality displays, an optical see-through display was used in an ATC Tower simulation. T...

Current lidar technology is offering a promising opportunity to take a fresh look at wind turbine control. This work evaluates a flatness-based feedforward approach, that allows to calculate the control action based on trajectories of the rotor speed and tower motion using wind measurements. The trajectories are planned online considering actuator constrains to regulate the rotor speed and mini...

A prototype decision support tool for terminal area air traffic controllers, referred to as the Final Approach Spacing Tool (FAST), was recently evaluated in operation with live air traffic at the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas Airport. Controllers utilized FAST’s runway and sequence advisories to manage and control arrival traffic during more than twenty-five peak rush traffic periods. This paper pr...

This paper is concerned with bump-less transfer of parametrized disturbance observer 1 based controller (DOBC) with Individual Pitch Control (IPC) strategy for full load operation of wind 2 turbine. Aerodynamic cyclic loads are reduced by tuning multivariable DOBC with the objective 3 to reduce output power fluctuation, tower oscillation and drive-train torsion. Furthermore tower 4 shadow and w...

This article analyzes the technology of cooperation between air traffic control (ATC) and ornithological service (OS). As part analysis, procedures preventive measures for controllers OS specialists to avert bird strikes were considered. The phases aircraft (AC) taxiing a runway (RW) takeoff For individual flights, delays determined. Flow charts network technological ATC-OS built. direct manage...
