Compared with departures, predicting the weather impact on arrival delays is more
challenging because of possible non-linear, cascading effects, and higher uncertainty …

Smart Autonomous Aircraft: Flight Control and Planning for UAV introduces the advanced
methods of flight control, planning, situation awareness, and decision making. This book is …

I. Introduction stimating the capacity of an airspace is fundamental to Air Traffic Management
(ATM). If demand for an airspace exceeds the capacity, then a Traffic Flow Management …

An aerial robot is a system capable of sustained flight with no direct human control and able
to perform a specific task. A lighter than air robot is an aerial robot that relies on the static lift …

We study the problem of computing maximum flow rates for capacity estimation of an
airspace at a constant flight level in the presence of convective weather constraints, under …

ACCORDING to the predicted air traffic growth, current airspace capacity limits, ie, the
maximum number of aircraft allowed in an airspace, will be increasingly exceeded …

This paper presents a simulated annealing (SA) methodology for defining operationally
acceptable route alternatives for flights impacted by weather. By dynamically generating …

This paper addresses the challenge of designing provably safe conflict-resolution
procedures (CRPs) that are decentralized and decoupled from each other. The main …

TRAFFIC flow management (TFM) in the United States consists of two loosely coupled
phases under current-day operations. In the first phase, the Federal Aviation Administration's …

Decision support capabilities that provide flight-specific reroutes around constraints can
enable more flexible and agile management of the airspace. For this benefit to be realized …
