Summary:
Unlike the highway traffic engineering subdiscipline of civil
engineering, the field of air transportation systems engineering is
just emerging. Several good books are available on aircraft avionics,
but they do not relate well to the overall air traffic management
system. Other books on air traffic control do not discuss air traffic
management or the new aspects of central flow control or
collaborative decision making. Air transportation is in a crisis and
at a turning point. The world’s air traffic management system is
showing the signs of being so successful that its growth is
approaching the physical infrastructure capacity limits. Drawn from
research papers presented at two closed-forum research meetings
sponsored by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and the
European Eurocontrol, this new book explains the technical nature of
a very complex international air transportation system. It reports on
new research that is furthering the evolution of the international
air transportation systems. The book promotes our understanding of
the technical attributes of delay and its economic effects on
aviation related business. The application of mathematical analyses
and principles is a growing area of aviation. This book contributes
to expanding our understanding of this area. It also provides
approaches to airspace management and new roles for controllers and
pilots. Students, engineers, and policy makers will appreciate the
use of real-world data, case histories, and extensive graphics of
operations, airports, delays, flight tracks, etc.
