This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation seeks to design an optimization algorithm, based on naturalistic flight data, with emphasis on safety to perform a benefits' analysis when sequencing and scheduling aircraft at the runway. The viability of creating a decision-support tool to aid air traffic controllers in sequencing and optimizing airport operations is evaluated through the benefits' analysis. Air traffic control is a complex and critical system that ensures the safe and efficient movement of aircraft within the airspace. This is particularly true in the immediate vicinity of an airport. Unlike in en-route or terminal area airspace where aircraft usually traverse well established routes and procedures, near the airport after completing a standard arrival procedure, the routes to the final approach are only partially defined. With safety being the foremost priority, the local tower controllers monitor and maintain separation between aircraft to prevent collisions and ensure the overall safety of the airspace. This involves constant surveillance, coordination, and decision-making to manage the dynamic movement of aircraft, changing weather conditions, and potential hazards. All the while, the controllers make decisions regarding tromboning or vectoring based on various factors, including traffic volume, airspace restrictions, weather conditions, operational efficiency, and safety considerations to ensure a safe traffic sequencing of aircraft at the runway. A novel framework is presented for modeling, characterizing, and clustering aircraft trajectories by extracting traffic control decisions of air traffic controllers. A hidden Markov model was developed and applied to transform trajectories from a sequence of temporal spatial position reports to a series of control actions. The edit distance is utilized for quantifying the dissimilarity of two variable-length trajectory strings, followed by the application of k-medoids algorithm to cluster the arrival flows. Next, a repeatable process for detecting and labeling outlier trajectories within a cluster is introduced. Through application on a set of historical trajectories at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), it is demonstrated that the proposed clustering framework overcomes the deficiency of the classical approach and successfully captures the arrival flows of trajectories, that undergo similar control actions. Leveraging on the set of arrival flows, statistical and machine learning models of air traffic controllers are created and evaluated when ordering aircraft to land at the runway. The potential inefficiencies are identified at DCA when sequencing aircraft. As such, there is a potential performance gap, and it appears that there is room for additional sequence optimization. With the goal of overcoming the potential inefficiencies at DCA, a mixed-integer zero-one formulation is designed for a single runway that takes into consideration safety constraints by means of separation constraints between aircraft imposed at each metering point from the entry to the airspace until landing. With the objective of maximizing runway throughput and minimizing the traversed distance, the model sequences and schedules arrivals and departures and generates safe and conflict-free arrival trajectories to actualize that scheduling. The output of the optimization shows that the model successfully recovers approximately 52% of the performance gap between the actual distance traversed and idealized (cluster centroids) distance traversed by all arrival aircraft. Moreover, each arrival aircraft, on average, traverses 2.12 nautical miles shorter than its historical trajectory and thus saving approximately 10 US gallons of jet fuel. By showcasing the potential benefits of the optimization, this dissertation takes a step towards achieving the long-term vision of developing a decision-support tool to assist air traffic controllers in optimally sequencing and scheduling aircraft. To fully leverage the potential benefits of optimization, further development and refinement of the algorithm are necessary to align it with real-world operational demands. As future work, the research would be expanded to integrate uncertainties like weather conditions, wind directions, etc. into the optimization.

Download or read book Applied Simulation and Optimization 2 written by Miguel Mujica Mota and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the author’s earlier Applied Simulation and Optimization, this book presents novel methods for solving problems in industry, based on hybrid simulation-optimization approaches that combine the advantages of both paradigms. The book serves as a comprehensive guide to tackling scheduling, routing problems, resource allocations and other issues in industrial environments, the service industry, production processes, or supply chains and aviation. Logistics, manufacturing and operational problems can either be modelled using optimization techniques or approaches based on simulation methodologies. Optimization techniques have the advantage of performing efficiently when the problems are properly defined, but they are often developed through rigid representations that do not include or accurately represent the stochasticity inherent in real systems. Furthermore, important information is lost during the abstraction process to fit each problem into the optimization technique. On the other hand, simulation approaches possess high description levels, but the optimization is generally performed through sampling of all the possible configurations of the system. The methods explored in this book are of use to researchers and practising engineers in fields ranging from supply chains to the aviation industry.

Download or read book Airline Operations and Scheduling written by Massoud Bazargan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operations research techniques are extremely important tools for planning airline operations. However, much of the technical literature on airline optimization models is highly specialized and accessible only to a limited audience. Allied to this there is a concern among the operations research community that the materials offered in OR courses at MBA or senior undergraduate business level are too abstract, outdated, and at times irrelevant to today's fast and dynamic airline industry. This book demystifies the operations and scheduling environment, presenting simplified and easy-to-understand models, applied to straightforward and practical examples. After introducing the key issues confronting operations and scheduling within airlines, Airline Operations and Scheduling goes on to provide an objective review of the various optimization models adopted in practice. Each model provides airlines with efficient solutions to a range of scenarios, and is accompanied by case studies similar to those experienced by commercial airlines. Using unique source material and combining interviews with alumni working at operations and scheduling departments of various airlines, this solution-orientated approach has been used on many courses with outstanding feedback. As well as having been comprehensively updated, this second edition of Airline Operations and Scheduling adds new chapters on fuel management systems, baggage handling, aircraft maintenance planning and aircraft boarding strategies. The readership includes graduate and undergraduate business, management, transportation, and engineering students; airlines training and acquainting new recruits with operations planning and scheduling processes; general aviation, flight school, International Air Transport Association (IATA), and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) training course instructors; executive jet, chartered flight, air-cargo and package delivery companies, and airline consultants.
