Aviation industry is facing two major challenges of safety and performance improvement. They will be expected to be resolved in the context of big data. This paper focuses on the impact of big data on aviation industry and the construction of aviation big data platform and its information...

Weather affects the work of air traffic controllers, however, for staff scheduling in Remote Tower Centers (RTCs) it has not been taken into account. We study the impact of various weather phenomena on air traffic controller (ATCO) taskload through structured interviews with ATCOs. We deduce...

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications are already integrated and expected to expand within the aviation sociotechnical ecosystem. Machine Learning (ML) models are capable and could excel on accident report classification tasks within the aviation context, assuming adequate and proper...

The US-China direct flights in mid-2023 were only 7 percent of those available in mid-2019. This quasi-experiment informs the debate on air transport de-carbonization. An estimated structural model shows that re-establishing the pre-pandemic direct connectivity could increase passengers by 387...

An AirSensEUR sensor system equipped with a prototype CO2 low-cost sensor (LCS), model K96 Senseair, has been tested at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) observatory station between December 2021 and September 2022 in order to evaluate whether its expanded measurement uncertainty could meet a Data...

This paper develops a new methodology for calculating the "carbon footprint" of air travel whereby emissions from travel in premium (business and first) classes depend heavily on the average class-specific occupied floor space. Unlike methods currently used for the purpose, the approach properly...

Emission free compressed air powered energy system can be used as the main power source or as an auxiliary power unit in vehicular transportation with advantages of zero carbon emissions and improved the overall energy efficiency of the integrated energy system. This work presented a detailed...
