Advanced Air Traffic Management (ATM) concepts related to automation, airspace organization and operational procedures are driven by the overall goal to increase ATM system performance. Independently on the nature and/or impact of envisaged changes (e.g. from a short term procedure adjustment to a very long term operational concept or aid tools completion), the preliminary assessment of possibl...

This paper discusses the service availability criteria that representatives of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Organization (ATO) have defined for air traffic control (ATC) air/ground (A/G) voice communications in the Gulf of Mexico. In order to evaluate these criteria, models that relate airspace coverage with the availability of ground-based communications systems had to...

Implicit communication and higher levels of automation will be more important in the future multiple remote towers, in order to make the work of the Air Traffic Controller (ATCO) more efficient. However, the ATCO still needs to be in the control loop to make critical decisions. Human-automation collaboration requires teamwork, based on common ground and implicit communication. To design automat...

Wang, Hao. M.S.A.A., Purdue University, May 2015. ADS-B Used in Improvement of Air Traffic Control. Major Professor: Dengfeng Sun. Automatic dependent surveillance – broadcast (ADS–B) is a central component of the NextGen air traffic control program. This surveillance technology can replace current secondary surveillance radars (SSR) and improve cockpit situational awareness. The service can im...

The safety of air traffic control (ATC) operations is an important cornerstone for the sustainable development civil aviation industry. In order to clarify risk factors in operation process and achieve digital representation risks operations, starting from ATC incident reports, we fully mine information unspoken rules operations. A perception model based on Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) top...

this study assesses the air quality of two urban localities, fahaheel and al-rabia city, to assistlocal authorities to generate information supporting the planning of pollution control strategies to keeppollutants within safe limits in the long run. in terms of diurnal and seasonal variations, almost all measured pollutants exhibited two peaks: one in the morning and another in the afternoon. t...

Aircraft noise is a major obstacle to the growth of aviation. This thesis presents an adaptive onboard real-time optimization algorithm and an Air Traffic Control simulation model that can minimize the aircraft approach noise and meet air traffic control targets and restrictions. The adaptive real-time optimization algorithm uses dynamic programming, nonlinear optimization, and receding horizon...
