We consider the common problem of calculating routes from a starting point to a destination through a given space. This process typically involves discretizing the navigational space into a graph of intermediate waypoints linked together through transitions. A search for a solution that fits desired criteria can then be performed. Typical criteria include: minimum distance, minimum transit time...

Abstract Early signs of mechanical characteristic changes are essential for structural health monitoring (SHM). Due to the complexity civil, or aeronautical structures, SHM is often faced with high dimensional characteristics together limited sensor instrumentation. In this paper, Lasso regression applied address issue, based on its ability solving large problems. The vibration model first appr...

Aeronautical Telecommunication Network (ATN) has been developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization to integrate Air-Ground and Ground-Ground data communication for aeronautical applications into a single network serving Air Traffic Control and Aeronautical Operational Communications [1]. To carry time critical information required for aeronautical applications, ATN provides differ...

In the context of EDEMOI -a French national project that proposed the use of semiformal and formal methods to infer the consistency and robustness of aeronautical regulations through the analysis of faithfully representative modelsa methodology had been suggested (and applied) to different (safety and security-related) aeronautical regulations. This paper summarizes the preliminary results of t...

The multiscale analysis of large composite aeronautical structures involves the development of robust coupling strategies. Among the latter, non-intrusive coupling is attractive, since it is able to consistently connect a global simplified linear model to a local detailed one, using features available in commercial software. Up to now, such coupling methods were still limited to academic situat...

Over the past two decades, the air transport industry has experienced continuous growth. The demand for passenger air traffic is forecast to double the current level by about 2025 (European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation [EUROCONTROL], 2006). Smallto-medium sized low cost airlines in Europe such as EasyJet and Ryanair have observed a considerable percentage of passenger increase ...

In this paper we focus on the modeling and evaluation of next generation satellite communications technologies to support future aeronautical communications. Recent studies has identified the delivery of real-time high resolution weather maps to the cockpit as an important future aeronautical application. Focusing on this application, we investigate the use of Lowand GeosynchronousEarth Orbit (...
