  • Mechanisms for Trajectory Options Allocation in Collaborative Air Traffic Flow Management
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: MECHANISMS FOR TRAJECTORY OPTIONS ALLOCATION IN COLLABORATIVE AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT Prithiv Raj Mohanavelu Umamagesh Master of Science, 2018 Thesis Directed By: Professor David J. Lovell Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Flight delays are primarily due to traffic imbalances caused by the demand for airspace resource exceeding its capacity. The capacity restriction might be due to inclement weather, an overloaded air traffic sector, or an airspace restriction. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the organization responsible for air traffic control and management in the USA, has developed several tools known as Traffic Management Initiatives (TMI) to bring the demand into compliance with the capacity constraints. Collaborative Trajectory Option Program (CTOP) is one such tool that has been developed by the FAA to mitigate the delay experienced by flights. Operating under a Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) environment, CTOP is considered as the next step into the future of air traffic management by the FAA. The advantages of CTOP over the traditional the TMIs are unequivocal. The concerns about the allocation scheme used in the CTOP and treatment of flights from the flight operators/airlines have limited its usage. This research was motivated by the high ground delays that were experienced by flights and how the rerouting decisions were made in the current allocation method used in a CTOP. We have proposed four alternative approaches in this thesis, which incorporated priority of flights by the respective flight operator, aimed at not merely reducing an individual flight operator’s delay but also the total delay incurred to the system.

  • Upphr SAD$LH RMR, NI *745S
    WILLIAM L- MACK 27 RAhIIBI,ING BR*SK ROA* UpPHR SAD$LH RMR, NI *745S Biography The start of my aviation interests: Our family lived in an aparhnent on 80e street, Jackson Heigtrts. 80e Street ended just one block away. At the end of the block was the old Holmes Airport. I didn't know very much about airplanes but they sure were interesting. I spent many hours just observing the many activities at the airport. On weekends they would sell sightseeing rides around New York City. The original Goodyear Blimp was based at Hoknes Airport and they also sold sightseeiog rides. My Dad and I took a ride in the blimp one weekend. The high point of the blimp ride was the fact that they flew to the downwind side of the Empire State building aud simulated mooring the blimp to the Empire State building. Don't know the purpose of the simulation but it sure \ryas a thrill to look down into the city streets from our'oobservatory". I guess that my Dad saw my interest in flying and the next weekend we rode out to the Roosevelt Raceway where they raced cars around the old "pretzel" raceway and had a landing strip. Dad had an old friend, Jack Cummings &at owned a biplane tied down at the raceway. Jack took both Dad and I on the most tlrilling, (to me) flight, During this visit I got to sit in one of the eady Texaco corporate biplanes. In one of the hangars I viewed the shiniest airplane I ever saw! The aiqplane was a Lockheed 10 or 12 owned by Roger \trolf Kahn, a local industrialist involved with Leroy Gmmman .
