This paper presents an optimization approach for dynamically scheduling aircraft operations and supporting air traffic controllers in both determining and implementing operationally feasible landing and departure times at an airport. The mixed integer linear programming model proposed...

Because air traffic control efficiency can be largely increased by means of group, the aircraft grouping problem was studied based on improved divisive hierarchical clustering algorithm (DHCA). The concepts of position similarity, velocity similarity and heading similarity were defined and the...

This article presents the gradual liberalization of European air transport, especially its most recent problems in the case of the Single European Sky (SES). Indeed, after successfully liberalizing airlines and, to a certain extent, airports, the European Commission has embarked on the process...

Workload estimation is a complex domain which has been investigated extensively over the years. Past estimation techniques have focused on measuring workload directly from the air traffic controllers (ATCOs) or inferring it from traffic factors. The limitations of these techniques are...

"This book describes research on safety-related decision-making by operations supervisory personnel in three different high-hazard industries, and features a case study illustrating each: a chemical plant, a nuclear power station and an air-navigation service provider. The focus of this research...
