Saobraćajno inženjerstvo / Traffic engineering

U doktorskoj disertaciji je predložen postupak za analizu kapaciteta vazdušne strane aerodroma, za zadata fizička i operativna ograničenja, i zadate karakteristike potražnje. Ovaj postupak podrazumeva povezivanje (postojećeg) modela za procenu kapaciteta sistema poletno-sletnih staza sa (proširenim) modelom za procenu kapaciteta pristanišne platforme, kroz njihovu funkcionalnu vezu. Cilj ove doktorske disertacije je bio vrednovanje i, po potrebi, modifikovanje i proširenje postojećih modela za procenu kapaciteta platforme, kao i definisanje funkcionalne veze između poletno-sletne staze i platforme za različite tipove saobraćaja. Postojeći modeli su prošireni tako da uzimaju u obzir ograničenja po tipu aviona i korisnicima (npr. aviokompanije), kao i po vrsti saobraćaja. U cilju analize osetljivosti, predlažene su obvojnice za prikazivanje kapaciteta platforme određene konfiguracije, u zavisnosti od strukture potražnje u odnosu na glavne uticajne faktore. Analiza je obuhvatila dva osnovna tipa aerodroma sa aspekta njihove uloge u mrežama vazdušnog saobraćaja, a to su: izvorno-ciljni aerodromi, sa dominantnim saobraćajem od-tačke-do-tačke, i hub aerodromi, sa dominantnim transfernim saobraćajem za koji je karakteristično da se koncentriše u talase. Dodatno su analizirani i aerodromi na kojima postoje oba tipa saobraćaja. Rezultati disertacije pokazuju da se za izvorno-ciljne aerodrome može koristiti standardni pristup prilikom analize ukupnog kapaciteta vazdušne strane aerodroma, u kome se poletno-sletna staza i pristanišna platforma posmatraju odvojeno, pri čemu manji kapacitet nameće ograničenje ukupnog kapaciteta. Sa druge strane, u slučaju hub aerodroma kapacitet platforme i kapacitet poletno-sletne staze se ne mogu posmatrati nezavisno jedan od drugog. S tim u skladu, u ovoj doktorskoj disertaciji predložen je model za procenu kapaciteta platforme na hub aerodromima, koji pored konfiguracije platforme i strukture potražnje uzima u obzir i kapacitet poletno-sletne staze, kao i parametre koji opisuju talasnu strukturu saobraćaja...

▼ International airports provide a wealth of benefits to surrounding areas and serve as connection points between countries. Demand for air travel and transport has increased rapidly since international civil aviation came into being and has continued to grow freely as developments within the aviation industry have made flight even more accessible. This unchecked growth has resulted in increased pressure on airport operations and infrastructure, especially at airports where physical and environmental constraints make capacity expansion difficult or nearly impossible. Planning plays a large part in determining how an airport utilises its existing infrastructure and the ways in which it can safeguard and protect future capacity. Corporatisation has brought about a more commercial focus at airports, which is being reflected in the incorporation of strategic planning into traditional models. This research focuses on airport planning processes and the ways in which strategic initiatives may help to alleviate or avoid capacity constraints at New Zealand‘s three major airports. Data was collected through key informant interviews and supported by a literature review and document analysis. Results were categorised and analysed qualitatively and used to evaluate current airport planning processes, capacity problems, and the methods available for resolving them. The findings revealed that a number of potential capacity constraints exist at New Zealand airports. These are being dealt with proactively using a combination of infrastructure expansion and operational efficiency solutions. The airports have begun to incorporate strategy into planning processes; transforming the way that airport master planning is undertaken in New Zealand to create a more integrated process. Engagement with airlines and other stakeholders is helping the airport companies to discern exact requirements prior to undertaking planning exercises, aligning planning more closely with corporate visions and commercial strategies. A strong focus on operational efficiency is being successfully implemented at Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch Airports, with the aim of making best use of existing assets and pushing development projects out until absolutely necessary. The airports recognise that capacity is an issue at all points along the air transport service chain and are taking proactive measures to avoid problems, though options for instigating changes around transport links and surface access need adequate consideration.

Runway capacity of a complex runways system can be limited by several factors. Currently, the runway usage at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AAS) is described by a preference list established by multiple stakeholders. It makes an important trade-off between minimizing noise exposure to the environment and maximizing capacity. The existing model does not take into account fuel burn and the ensued emissions for the current and future demand in flights. This study tries to address this issue. A model has been developed using Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) by which flights can be allocated to runways, while optimizing for fuel and noise. The research has the following research question: Can fuel burn be significantly reduced for aircraft operating at Amsterdam Airport by utilizing a novel flexible arrival and departure runway allocation model, using a predefined set of variables and rules, accounting for noise annoyance, runway capacity and the current and future demand of flights? The runway allocation model developed for this study is able to assign aircraft to runways based upon an optimization trade-off between fuel usage and noise exposure to the environment. Selecting a shorter flight- or taxi route may result in lower fuel burn and emissions, while separation- and noise regulations are maintained. A multitude of scenarios is simulated using the allocation model. Different runway configurations are tested. Additionally, different peak moments varying during the day are compared to see when flexible allocation is feasible and most profitable. A set of Pareto optimal solutions can be evaluated in order to determine the most optimal runway allocation distribution. The conclusion that can be drawn from this research is that flexible allocation can have significant impact on both fuel usage and emissions, while adhering to the current regulations. Depending on the flexibility of available runways, mainly restricted by separation- and noise regulations, runway demand, local conditions and maintenance, savings are possible. For scenarios where there is room for flexibility, savings are evident. For restricted scenarios, due to wind- or visibility conditions, potential savings exist, although to a lesser extend. The level of runway demand plays a role, as most flexibility and potential savings are obtainable during off-peaks. Annual savings can amount to significant fuel and emission reduction. The described runway allocation tool has the generic abilities of being scalable to wide variety of airports and their characteristics. Other airports, a larger set of aircraft and aircraft types, different arrival and departure operations can all be added to the model due to the generic characteristics. This aids further research and eventual application of flexible arrival and departure runway allocation in the aviation industry.

▼ Over the past few decades, the air transportation system has grown significantly. In particular, the number of passengers using air transportation has greatly increased. As the demand for air travel expands, airport departure/arrival demand almost reaches its capacity. In consequence, the level of delays increases since the system capacity cannot manage the increased demand. With this trend, the national airspace system (NAS) will be saturated, and the congestion at the airport will become even more severe. As a result of congestion, a considerable number of flights experience delays. According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), over 1 million flights are operated in a year, and about twenty percent of all scheduled commercial flights are delayed more than 15 minutes. These delays cost billions of dollars annually for airlines, passengers, and the US economy. Therefore, this study seeks to find out why the delays occur and to analyze patterns in which the delays occurred. Analysis of airport operations generally falls into a macro or micro perspective. At the macro point of view, very few details are considered, and delays are aggregated at the airport level. Especially, shortfalls in airport capacity and a capacity-demand imbalance are the primary causes of delays in this respect. In the micro perspective, each aircraft is modeled individually, and the causes of delays are reproduced as precisely as possible. Micro reasons for air traffic delays include inclement weather, mechanics problems, operation issues. In this regard, this research proposes a methodology that can efficiently and practically predict macro and micro-level air traffic flow in the terminal area. For a macro-level analysis of delays, artificial neural networks models are proposed to predict the hourly airport capacity. Multi-layer perceptron (MLP), recurrent neural network (RNN), and long short-term memory (LSTM) are trained with historical weather and airport capacity data of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta airport (ATL). In the performance evaluation, the models have presented decent predictive performance and successfully predicted the test data as well as the training data. On the other hand, Random Forests and AdaBoost are implemented in the micro-level modeling of the air traffic. The micro-level models trained with on-time flight performance data and corresponding weather data focus on a classification of the individual flight delays. The model provides interpretability and imbalanced data handling while the accuracy is as good as the existing methods. Lastly, the predictive model for individual flight delays is refined using the cost-proportionate rejection sampling (costing) method. Along with the integration of the costing method, general machine learning algorithms have been converted to cost-sensitive classifiers. The cost-sensitive classifiers were able to account for asymmetric misclassification costs without losing their diagnostic functionality as binary classifiers. This study presents a data-driven approach to air… Advisors/Committee Members: Mavris, Dimitri (advisor), Briceno, Simon (committee member), Schrage, Daniel (committee member), Saletore, Vikram (committee member), Zhou, Haomin (committee member).

▼ Air transportation is a complex system of interlinked distributed networks in which different components have their own constraints and performance measures. For example, an airport network in which each airport is treated as a node and models the departures/arrivals of flights as links considers capacity as its limiting factor. Whereas, an airspace network that consists of airways (as links) and waypoints (as nodes) providing an orderly flow of air traffic and safe separation between flights considers collision risk as its limiting factor. To accommodate the increasing demand to safely manage air traffic flow, it is imperative to understand the interactions between these two components and the limiting factors that define their characteristics. Understanding this relationship is a major consideration when determining whether and which components should aim to increase safety and capacity. In this thesis, I propose a model for airport network capacity estimation and a model of airspace network risk analysis. I then develop a framework for modelling and integrating airport and airspace networks in an overall air transportation system. Finally, I propose a methodology for determining their complex interactions to analyse the relationship between capacity and safety.One challenge in analysing the capacity-safety relationship for air transportation is measuring its capacity. In air transportation, capacities have traditionally been measured based on the individual elements of the network, such as links (sector capacity and airspace complexity) and nodes (terminals and runway throughput). These measures obviously do not constitute the overall system-level capacity of a network. This research involves developing a network-level capacity estimation model and method. The proposed model does not require knowledge of an individual airport's capacity and offers an understanding of the relationship between the flow capacity and safety metric of its corresponding airspace.Experimental and empirical results establish the nature of the relationship between airport network capacity and airspace safety when considered in an interacting air transport system. As the hourly flow increases in the airport network, the overall collision risk increases linearly and, after a certain level, crosses the target level of safety. Such a capacity-safety relationship indicates that the capability of existing air traffic control systems to safely handle projected growth in aircraft operations appears to be artificially limited by the airspace.

▼ The increasing economic competitiveness among states and regions within the nation has made freight transportation an important issue in modern transportation research. It is important to find the capacities of the different modes of transportation used to carry freight and identify the bottlenecks so that necessary measures can be taken to improve capacity at such locations. The present study is divided into two parts, namely estimation of railroad capacity and airport capacity for the upper Midwest freight corridor study region. Mathematical model to estimate capacity of railroad network developed by Peat, Marwick, Mitchell and Co in the year 1975 was considered. For estimating the airport capacity a mathematical model developed by Noritake, M and S. Kimura in the year 1993 and a graphical method followed by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was adopted. The railroad link data, airport terminals data, runways data and air segment data for study region were obtained from Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) website. Railroad crossing inventory database was obtained from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). The BTS and FRA data obtained were large and could not be used directly into the model algorithm. Thus, selection criterion was developed to limit the railroad network and airports in the study region. The selected class I railroads and selected airports data were arranged in appropriate format for proper application of the above- specified methodologies. Application of methodologies to datasets identified the areas with excess capacity and limited capacity (Potential bottlenecks) for railroads in study region. Track utilization factor (TUF) in terms of usage to practical capacity was developed for segments of railroad network. It was observed from the study that the average train speed is the critical factor affecting the railroad capacity. The study also estimates the airport capacity and showed the freight flow (tons per month), number of passenger and freight aircrafts per hour served within each major intercity airports in the study region. It was observed that most of the major airports in the upper Midwest freight corridor study region have higher than 50 percent-unused capacities. Advisors/Committee Members: Gupta, Jiwan (Advisor).

▼ The air transportation industry in the past ten years witnessed an upsurge with the number of passengers swelling exponentially. This development has seen a high demand in airport and airspace usage, which consequently has an enormous strain on the aviation industry of a given country. Although increase in airport capacity would be logical to meet this demand, factors such as poor weather conditions and other unforeseen ones have made it difficult if not impossible to do such. In fact there is a high probability of capacity reduction in most of the airports and air sectors within these regions. It is no surprise therefore that, most countries experience congestion almost on a daily basis. Congestion interrupts activities in the air transportation network and this has dire consequences on the air traffic control system as well as the nation's economy due to the significant costs incurred by airlines and passengers. This is against a background where most air tra c managers are met with the challenge of finding optimal scheduling strategies that can minimise delay costs. Current practices and research has shown that there is a high possibility of reducing the effects of congestion problems on the air traffic control system as well as the total delay costs incurred to the nearest minimum through an optimal control of ights. Optimal control of these ights can either be achieved by assigning ground holding delays or air borne delays together with any other control actions to mitigate congestion. This exposes a need for adequate air traffic ow management given that it plays a crucial role in alleviating delay costs. Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) is defined as a set of strategic processes that reduce air traffic delays and congestion problems. More precisely, it is the regulation of air traffic in such a way that the available airport and airspace capacity are utilised efficiently without been exceeded when handling traffic. The problem of managing air traffic so as to ensure efficient and safe ow of aircraft throughout the airspace is often referred to as the Air Traffic Flow Management Problem (ATFMP). This thesis provides a detailed insight on the ATFMP wherein the existing approaches, methodologies and optimisation techniques that have been (and continue to be) used to address the ATFMP were critically examined. Particular attention to optimisation models on airport capacity and airspace allocation were also discussed extensively as they depict what is obtainable in the air transportation system. Furthermore, the thesis attempted a comprehensive and, up-to-date review which extensively fed off literature on ATFMP. The instances in this literature were mainly derived from North America, Europe and Africa. Having reviewed the current ATFM practices and existing optimisation models and approaches for solving the ATFMP, the generalised basic model was extended to account for additional modeling variations. Furthermore, deterministic integer programming formulations were… Advisors/Committee Members: Adewumi, Aderemi Oluyinka. (advisor).

▼ Effective and efficient air transportation systems are crucial to a nation's economy and connectedness. These systems involve capital-intensive facilities and equipment and move millions of people and tonnes of freight every day. As air traffic has continued to increase, the systems necessary to ensure safe and efficient operation will continue to grow more and more complex. Hence, it is imperative that air transport analysts are equipped with the best tools to properly predict and respond to expected air transportation operations. This dissertation aims to improve on those tools currently available to air transportation analysts, while offering new ones. Specifically, this thesis will offer the following: 1) A model for predicting arrival runway occupancy times (AROT); 2) a model for predicting departure runway occupancy times (DROT); and 3) a flight planning model. This thesis will also offer an exploration of the uses of unmanned aerial vehicles for providing wireless communications services. For the predictive models of AROT and DROT, we fit hierarchical Bayesian regression models to the data, grouped by aircraft type using airport physical and aircraft operational parameters as the regressors. Recognizing that many existing air transportation models require distributions of AROT and DROT, Bayesian methods are preferred since their output are distributions that can be directly inputted into air transportation modeling programs. Additionally, we exhibit how analysts will be able to decouple AROT and DROT predictions from the traditional 4 or 5 groupings of aircraft currently in use. Lastly, for the flight planning model, we present a 2-D model using presently available wind data that provides wind-optimal flight routings. We improve over current models by allowing free-flight unconnected to pre-existing airways and by offering finer resolutions over the current 2.5 degree norm.

▼ As airspace congestion becomes increasingly more common, one of the primary places airspace congestion is felt today, and will only continue to increase, is in areas where more than one major airport interact. We will call these groups of interdependent airports a metroplex; a term originally coined to describe large metropolitan areas where more than one city of equal (or near equal) size or importance. These metroplex areas are of particular importance in understanding future capacity demands because many of these areas are currently experiencing problems with meeting the current demand, and demand is only projected to increase as air travel becomes more popular. Many of these capacity issues have been identified in the FAA's Future Airport Capacity Task (FACT). From the second FACT report, it is stated that "the FACT 1 analysis revealed that many of our hub airports and their associated metropolitan areas could be expected to experience capacity constraints (i.e. unacceptable levels of delay) by 2013 and 2020, even if the planned improvements envisioned at that time were completed." This analysis shows that the current methods of expanding airports will not scale with the growing demand. To address this growing demand, a three part solution is proposed. The first step is to properly identify the metroplex areas to be evaluated. While the FACT reports serve to identify areas where capacity growth does not meet demand, these areas are not grouped into metroplexes. To do this grouping, an interaction metric was developed based on airport distance and traffic volume. This interaction metric serves as a proxy for how the existence of a second airport impacts the operation of the first. This pairwise metric was then computed for all commercial airports in the US and were grouped into metroplexes using a clustering algorithm. The second obstacle was to develop a tool to evaluate each metroplex as new algorithms were tested. A discrete event based simulation was developed to model each link in the airspace structure for each aircraft that enters the TRACON. This program tracks the delay each aircraft is required to accumulate in holding patterns or traffic trombones. A third and final method discussed here was an optimization program that can be used to schedule aircraft that are entering the TRACON to perform small modifications in their speed while en route to reduce the overall delay (both en route and in the TRACON). While formal optimization methods for scheduling aircraft arrivals have been presented before, the computational complexity has greatly prevented such algorithms from being used to schedule many aircraft in a dense schedule. This is because mixed integer programming (MIP) is a NP-hard problem. Practically, this means that the solution time can grow exponentially as the problem size (number of aircraft) increases. To address this issue, a Benders' decomposition scheme was introduced that allows solutions to be computed in near real-time on commodity hardware. These solutions can be… Advisors/Committee Members: Clarke, John-Paul (Committee Chair), Feron, Eric (Committee Member), Johnson, Ellis (Committee Member), Tsiotras, Panagiotis (Committee Member), Volovoi, Vitali (Committee Member).

▼ Abstract Airlines have endured a prolonged period of intense competition with the advent of deregulation in 1978. Market innovations and price-cutting dramatically expanded the number of travelers utilizing the national air transportation network. Bankruptcies and mergers reduced the number of contestants in the industry and eventually produced four national carriers controlling 80-85 percent of the passengers and routes. This new market power of the dominant airlines is resulting in industry changes designed to reduce operational uncertainty but is also having detrimental effects on many airports, particularly the smallest airports. This study employs qualitative and quantitative methods to explore the viability of the nationâ€™s smallest primary commercial service airports. Three journal articles are fused in examining different aspects of the viability question. In Article 1, a longitudinal comparative analysis presents historic growth patterns for various sized airports during deregulation and reveals a distinctly lower growth rate for nonhub airports than their larger rivals. Even with a burgeoning market for travelers, growth for nonhub airports was anemic and the industry experienced massive passenger migration to the 60 largest airports. Article 2 addresses the topic of consumer switching, expands on extant literature with qualitative analyses, and proposes a theoretic, conceptual framework of four primary types of traveler purchasers. Each traveler type has its own distinct switching rationale and creates leakage patterns contoured to the features of their preferred airport. Building on the migration and switching findings of the first two articles, Article 3 explores converging market conditions and factors that are threatening future airline service for dozens of the smallest airports. By extracting findings from contemporary research, a comparative analysis of airports identifies 33 airports that face the highest risk of losing air service. The explanatory model places the airports in rank order by weighting various threat criteria. Qualitative interviews of air service professionals offer insider observations generally not known to the public, confirm observations found in existing research and verify that market forces are acting to reduce the number of airports in the network. The key contribution of the three articles of the thesis is its description of how key actors (firms, customers, agencies) interact and respond to policy decisions that have unintended consequences to small airports and their regional economies. There are predictable patterns in the relational linkages of these actors that contribute to our understanding of how a particular industry evolves under various pressures and how it interacts with factors outside the industry. The preponderance of the evidence from this study reveals that current market trends are generally caustic to the continued operation of small airports. Industry experts are reticent in acknowledging that the next phase of deregulation is underway with the… Advisors/Committee Members: HAMPSON, DANIEL DP, Czaban, Laszlo, Hampson, Daniel.

▼ The phenomenon of airport congestion at New Zealand's major airports is the subject of this research thesis. A growing problem in New Zealand, the importance of understanding this problem and identifying options for solution is high. The intention of this research was to identify the extent of congestion at New Zealand airports; to estimate the industry cost of congestion; to identify the causes of congestion; to estimate future levels of congestion; and to offer suggestions for solution of this problem. Actual levels of airborne delay for flights arriving at these airports have been measured, and the industry cost of this delay in terms of time and fuel burn is estimated. Airport capacity for Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch airports is established and compared with the levels of demand for service. The level of delay attributable to excess demand is thus established. Comparison of differing airports' capacity levels indicates some level of delay attributable to air traffic control procedures. The majority of current delay is directly attributable to demand schedules which are characterised by grouping of demand - i.e. the scheduling of several aircraft at the same time, followed by periods of little or no demand. At Auckland and Christchurch airports, the current levels of airborne delay is due exclusively to scheduling patterns. Demand exceeds available capacity for many short periods throughout the course of the day, but is interspersed by a greater number of periods where capacity exceeds current demand. The delays experienced at these airports is also low – averaging approximately three minutes per aircraft. Similar levels of delay are experienced at Wellington airport during weather conditions which meet visual or instrument above circling minima criteria, but delays rise markedly when weather conditions fall below this criteria. This is due to the differing air traffic control procedures which must (for safety reasons) be invoked during these conditions, and result in a decrease in airport capacity. Instrument conditions below circling minima occur approximately 11% of the time at Wellington, compared with approximately 3% for Auckland and Christchurch. Moreover, weather conditions below circling minima do not necessarily reduce the capacity of Auckland or Christchurch airports. Forecast increases in demand over the next twelve years, when compared with available airport capacity indicate future levels of delay at extremely high rates for Auckland and Wellington airports which are currently operating at levels close to capacity. At Auckland, management of aircraft schedules is sufficient to provide a solution until 2005. Forecast levels of demand beyond this indicate that a greater level of solution will be required. These issues are likely to be addressed by the addition of a second runway. At Wellington airport the problem of congestion is more severe. Capacity is well exceeded by present levels of demand during weather conditions below circling minima, and is reached during instrument conditions…

▼ Airlines have endured a prolonged period of intense competition with the advent of deregulation in 1978. Market innovations and price-cutting dramatically expanded the number of travelers utilizing the national air transportation network. Bankruptcies and mergers reduced the number of contestants in the industry and eventually produced four national carriers controlling 80-85 percent of the passengers and routes. This new market power of the dominant airlines is resulting in industry changes designed to reduce operational uncertainty but is also having detrimental effects on many airports, particularly the smallest airports. This study employs qualitative and quantitative methods to explore the viability of the nationâs smallest primary commercial service airports. Three journal articles are fused in examining different aspects of the viability question. In Article 1, a longitudinal comparative analysis presents historic growth patterns for various sized airports during deregulation and reveals a distinctly lower growth rate for nonhub airports than their larger rivals. Even with a burgeoning market for travelers, growth for nonhub airports was anemic and the industry experienced massive passenger migration to the 60 largest airports. Article 2 addresses the topic of consumer switching, expands on extant literature with qualitative analyses, and proposes a theoretic, conceptual framework of four primary types of traveler purchasers. Each traveler type has its own distinct switching rationale and creates leakage patterns contoured to the features of their preferred airport. Building on the migration and switching findings of the first two articles, Article 3 explores converging market conditions and factors that are threatening future airline service for dozens of the smallest airports. By extracting findings from contemporary research, a comparative analysis of airports identifies 33 airports that face the highest risk of losing air service. The explanatory model places the airports in rank order by weighting various threat criteria. Qualitative interviews of air service professionals offer insider observations generally not known to the public, confirm observations found in existing research and verify that market forces are acting to reduce the number of airports in the network. The key contribution of the three articles of the thesis is its description of how key actors (firms, customers, agencies) interact and respond to policy decisions that have unintended consequences to small airports and their regional economies. There are predictable patterns in the relational linkages of these actors that contribute to our understanding of how a particular industry evolves under various pressures and how it interacts with factors outside the industry. The preponderance of the evidence from this study reveals that current market trends are generally caustic to the continued operation of small airports. Industry experts are reticent in acknowledging that the next phase of deregulation is underway with the consolidation of…

▼ Better utilization of the airport system capacities can significantly decrease delays, as well as number of cancelled flights. An efficient Air Traffic Control system equipped with advanced technology installations in the terminal area can help reduce flight delays and cancellations. The same technology could also help reduce accidents in the terminal area, thereby increasing the safety of the system. Due to the expense of fielding advanced technology in the terminal area, it is important to conduct realistic cost-benefit analysis to predict the life-cycle cost of the system. A computer simulation and optimization model to estimate the costs and benefits of fielding advanced technologies at airport terminal areas is introduced in this paper. The model developed is called the Cost-Benefit Analysis Terminal Investment Model (COTIM). This model considers costs and benefits to both service providers (Federal Aviation Administration and airport authorities) and users (Airlines). The model combines a simulation-optimization based approach to predict benefits and costs accrued in one day or throughout the life-cycle of the facility. We present an example to demonstrate the functionality of the model using Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) equipped with the Integrated Terminal Weather System (ITWS). The Integrated Terminal Weather System (ITWS) is a relatively new technology that forecasts convective weather movements thus allowing Air Traffic Control (ATC) personnel to re-direct flights inside the terminal area efficiently. COTIM estimates flight delays and cancellations at an airport, when the airport is equipped with advanced technologies such as ITWS. The model performs cost-benefit analysis by comparing a baseline scenario without terminal area technologies against a scenario with technology. The difference between the two scenarios help decision makers justify whether technology investments are warranted of not. Advisors/Committee Members: Trani, Antoino A.

▼ Recent air transport forecasts speak for an increase in international air passenger traffic in Europe by an average of 3,6% per year between 2002 and 2020. The rapid traffic growth has resulted in severe congestion and delay problems, which, in turn, have self-constrained air transport growth and become a major transport policy issue on both sides of the Atlantic. The increasing imbalance between capacity and traffic has resulted in congestion and delay figures that have drawn the attention of aviation policy makers and already triggered policy discussions that bring into the forefront the challenging dilemma: Demand Management or Capacity Enhancement? Actually, research programs and aviation policy makers to date have concentrated primarily on infrastructure projects, technologies and operating procedures that can enhance or expand system capacity, while maintaining the requisite exceptionally high level of safety. Most potential remedies to the congestion problem seeking to balance supply with the demand for airport services can be classified under three major streams of supply-side approaches: i) airport improvements / expansions and new airport developments, ii) airspace and airport procedural / operational improvements, and iii) aircraft improvements. Supply-side efforts, however, are focused on confronting a multifaceted and rather complicated problem by devoting efforts and resources only to one side of the problem. Unfortunately, the experience of the last decade suggests strongly that, by concentrating on increasing capacity, we may be fighting a losing - and extremely expensive - battle. According to traffic growth forecasts, the overwhelming increases in demand and delay phenomena in conjunction with severe political, physical, and institutional constraints in providing sufficient capacity to satisfy all anticipated future demand render such a solution rather impossible. Since well-publicized delay problems encountered by metropolitan European and U.S. airports entered the political arena, there is an unprecedented pressure experienced by policy makers and aviation authorities upon investigating demand management strategies to cope with the so called “aviation capacity gridlock”. Demand management strategies involve two ways of handling demand: i) by limiting in some way the demand for access to busy airports or congested airspace and/or ii) by modifying the spatial and temporal distribution of demand to bring it closer to available capacity. The first approach can be achieved through administrative means aiming to ease congestion by diverting some traffic on the basis of certain criteria where it can be handled more promptly or efficiently. The second alternative dictates the design of a pricing system or other market-based mechanism (e.g., slot auctions, trading) so that market forces allocate capacity among competing users by considering the real market valuation of access to scarce / congested airport facilities. Because of the severity of the congestion problem, demand management solutions (presented…

▼ We consider two classes of stochastic programming models which are motivated by two applications related to the field of aviation. The first problem we consider is the network capacity planning problem, which arises in capacity planning of systems with network structures, such as transportation terminals, roadways and telecommunication networks. We study this problem in the context of airport terminal capacity planning. In this problem, the objective is to determine the optimal design and expansion capacities for different areas of the terminal in the presence of uncertainty in future demand levels and expansion costs, such that overall passenger delay is minimized. We model this problem as a nonlinear multistage stochastic integer program with a multicommodity network flow structure. The formulation requires the use of time functions for maximum delays in passageways and processing stations, for which we derive approximations that account for the transient behavior of flow. The deterministic equivalent of the developed model is solved via a branch and bound procedure, in which a bounding heuristic is used at the nodes of the branch and bound tree to obtain integer solutions. In the second study, we consider the project portfolio optimization problem. This problem falls in the class of stochastic programs in which times of uncertainty realizations are dependent on the decisions made. The project portfolio optimization problem deals with the selection of research and development (R&D) projects and determination of optimal resource allocations for the current planning period such that the expected total discounted return or a function of this expectation for all projects over an infinite time horizon is maximized, given the uncertainties and resource limitations over a planning horizon. Accounting for endogeneity in some parameters, we propose efficient modeling and solution approaches for the resulting multistage stochastic integer programming model. We first develop a formulation that is amenable to scenario decomposition, and is applicable to the general class of stochastic problems with endogenous uncertainty. We then demonstrate the use of the sample average approximation method in solving large scale problems of this class, where the sample problems are solved through Lagrangian relaxation and lower bounding heuristics.

▼ Increased efficiency at airports is necessary to reduce delays and fuel consumption. Many of the busiest airports in the nation have at least one pair of closely spaced parallel runways (CSPRs), defined by a separation of less than 2500 ft, with one runway dedicated to arrivals and the other to departures. CSPRs experience a large decrease in capacity under instrument conditions because they can no longer operate independently. In order to mitigate this decrease in capacity and to increase efficiency, proposed herein is a departure regulator for runways so configured, along with a plan of study to investigate the effects of this regulator. The proposed departure regulator makes use of data from precision tracking systems such as ADS-B to issue automated or semi-automated departure clearances. Assuming sequential departure separations are sufficient for clearance, the regulator will automatically issue, or advise the controller to issue, the departure clearance as soon as the arrival on the adjacent runway has descended below its decision height. By issuing the departure clearance earlier, the departure regulator reduces the gap between a pair of arrivals that is required to clear a departure. By decreasing the gap, the regulator increases the number of opportunities where a departure clearance can be issued, given a particular arrival stream. A simulation models the effects of the regulator and quantifies the resulting increases in capacity. The simulation results indicate that all forms of the regulator would provide significant gains of between 14% and 23% in capacity over the current operating paradigm. The results also indicate that the capacity gains are greatest at high arrival rates. Therefore, implementation of the departure regulator could significantly decrease the congestion at many major airports during inclement weather.

▼ Abstract This PhD thesis is composed of a synopsis and five published papers that are focused on both the research results of studies on electrical properties of road materials and subgrade soils and their seasonal changes and the use of Ground Penetrating Radar technique in traffic infrastructure surveys. The data for this survey was collected mainly in Finland, Texas, Scotland and Sweden and thus presents many kinds of road materials, subgrade soils and climate conditions. The synopsis of this work begins with a presentation of the theory and basic principles of GPR techniques. Special attention is given to the dielectric properties and seasonal changes of unbound road materials and subgrade soils. The synopsis also presents different kinds of GPR hardware systems as well as recommendations and experiences from different data collection, processing and interpretation techniques. Special attention is given to a method whereby GPR data is integrated with other road survey data and then analysed using a number of structural diagnostic methods. Finally, the synopsis provides an overview of of the various GPR applications on roads and streets, bridges, railways and airports. The laboratory test results presented in this work show that the relationship between dielectric value and increasing water content is not linear or exponential but more likely a series of logarithmic functions. Laboratory results also showed that dielectric dispersion, which can be related to poorly performing subgrade soils and road aggregates, takes place mainly in loosely bound adsorption water and capillary water layer. As such these moisture sensitive problem materials can also be identified during the dry summer seasons when they are stiff. Dielectric value and electrical conductivity can also be related to other technical properties of road materials and subgrade soils such as frost susceptibility, shear strength, plastic limit, compaction degree and voids content. Laboratory tests and field data collected using the Percostation technique also demonstrate that a knowledge of seasonal changes and thermodynamics is very important in understanding and modelling the mechanical behaviour of road structures. Finally, laboratory and field tests indicate that colloids have an important role in the failure mechanism of the road materials. This research demonstrates that the GPR technique not only gives valuable structural information on the different types of structures and subgrade soils but it provides a wide range of information of the electrical properties of the materials under survey which can be further related to their mechanical performance. The best information will be gained if GPR data is analysed together with other non destructive testing data collected form the roads, railways and airports.
