This volume presents new concepts and methods in Air Traffic Management, in particular: Collaborative Decision Making, as it incorporates for the first time airline companies in the management process; Congestion Pricing, as many part of the systems are and will remain saturated, hence only leveling of demand can contribute to global efficiency; Flow Management Methods, as the most important tools in planning and analysis; Models of Controller-Pilot Interaction, as deregulation increases the workload of this communication; Weather Forecast, as airport capacity is strongly affected by weather conditions.
This volume is a compendium of papers presented during the NATO
Workshop which took place in Capri, Italy, October 12-18, 1986 on
the general subject of "Flow Control of Congested Networks: The
Case of Data Processing and Transportation," and of which we acted
as co-chairmen. The focus of the workshop was on flow control
methodologies, as applied to preventing or reducing congestion on:
(1) data communication networks; (2) urban transportation networks;
and (3) air traffic control systems. The goals of the workshop
included: review of the state-of-the-art of flow control
methodologies, in general, and in each of the three application
areas; identification of similarities and differences in the
objective functions, modeling approaches and mathematics used in
the three areas; examination of opportunities for "technology
transfers" and for future interactions among researchers in the
three areaso These goals were pursued through individual
presentations of papers on current research by workshop
participants and, in the cases of the second and third goals,
through a number of open-ended discussion and-review sessions which
were interspersed throughout the workshop's programmeD The full
texts or extended summaries of all but a few of the papers given at
the workshop are included in this volume."
This volume is a compendium of papers presented during the second
TRlennal Symposium on Transportation ANalysis (TRISTAN II) that
took place in Capri, Italy on June 23-28, 1994. The Symposium was
organized by the Progetto Finalizzato Trasporti and the Istituto di
Analisi dei Sistemi ed Informatica of the Italian National Research
Council jointly with the Italian Operations Research Society. The
purpose of this kind of meetings is to periodically allow an
exchange of views and findings by scientists in the field of
transportation analysis methods and tools. Therefore, the papers
presented dealt with a wide range of topics and cover the different
aspects of transportation analysis. The material contained in this
book gives particular emphasis to the development of mathematical
modelling and algorithms. This development is due to the evolution
of digital computers and the continuous increase of the computing
power. In fact the need of solving large scale problems (crew
scheduling, network traffic control, pollution monitoring and
control, . etc ... ) involves in some case, thousands of variables
and therefore sophisticated mathematical models and computational
algorithms
This volume is a compendium of papers presented during an Advanced
Seminar on Air Traffic Control (ATC) that took place in Capri,
Italy on October 28-31, 1991. The Seminar was' organized by the
Progetto Finalizzato Trasporti of the Italian National Research
Council. The papers presented in the Seminar dealt with a wide
range of topics which are currently important in ATC. For example,
there were papers on such subjects as recent developments in
primary and secondary radar technologies, communications networks
and protocols, and the future uses of satellite-based
communications, navigation and surveillance in ATC. However, all
the papers contained in the volume were selected exclusively from
that set of papers that addressed some aspect of the main area of
emphasis in the Seminar, namely massive data-processing
requirements and computer intensive problems in ATC.
Data-processing requirements in A TC have grown enormously over the
years. Obviously, the rapid increase in air traffic volumes in most
of the world is one of the factors that has contributed to this
growth. However, two other developments have contributed much more
significantly: first, the ATC system now collects (mostly
automatically) immensely more "information per flight" than in the
past; and, second, as the system's complexity increases and as it
becomes more tightly interconnected geographically, so grows the
need to communicate, process and "filter" the data presented to the
system's various components."
Dealing with a wide range of topics and covering different aspects
of current importance in ATM, the papers place particular emphasis
on automation and application of mathematical models and
computational algorithms for ATM systems. The volume thus offers
readers a summary of recent progress in such important areas as new
operational concepts for automated ATM, evolution of traffic
characteristics, ground-holding algorithms, ATC simulation
facilities and a number of other aspects of ATC flow management.
This volume is a compendium of papers presented during the
International Workshop on Air Traffic Management, which took place
in Capri, Italy, on September 26-30, 1999. The workshop was
organized by Italian National Research Council in co-operation with
the University of Rome "Tor Vergata," and the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT). This was the fifth in a series of
meetings held periodically over a ten-year span for the purpose of
encouraging an exchange of views and fmdings by scientists in the
field of Air Traffic Management (A TM). The papers presented at the
workshop dealt with a wide range of topics and covered different
aspects that are currently important in Air Traffic Control and Air
Traffic Management. This volume contains only a subset of the
papers presented, namely the ones that addressed the main area
emphasis in the workshop, new concepts and methods. The subject of
the first two papers is Collaborative Decision Making (CDM), a
concept which embodies, to a large extent, the new philosophy of
partial decentralization and increased delegation of
responsibilities to users in A TM operations. In the first of these
papers Wambsganss describes the original CDM project and its
initial implementation in the form of the Ground Delay Program
Enhancements. He also provides a brief description of some of the
tools that have been developed as part of the CDM effort and
identifies future research and development requirements.
Improvements in the performance of a freight transport system can
be achieved either through technological innovation or by using
advanced planning tools. This volume includes contributions on
planning which cover the following topics: - analysis of current
trends in developed countries, - demand analysis and forecasting, -
flows simulation and prediction, - shipment and delivery problems,
- regulation problems, - investment evaluation. Papers consider
such applications as warehouse location, crude oil transportation,
newspaper distribution, the trucking industry, rail planning and
seaport systems. Transport issues in North America and Italy are
described and compared. The papers in this volume are revised
versions of contributions to the International Seminar on Freight
Transport Planning and Logistics held in Bressanone, Italy, in July
1987.
