Modeling and Optimization in Traffic Flow Management
Date: June 26, 2007, 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Presented By: Dr. Banavar Sridhar (NASA Ames Research Center)
A safe and efficient aviation industry is vital to the global economy.
The growing traffic demand, rise in oil prices, delays in building new
runways and security issues are putting pressures on the system to
evolve from the current procedure-based human-centered system to a more
flexible system with higher levels of automation. Traffic Flow
Management (TFM) is the efficient organization of traffic flows to meet
demand taking into account capacity constraints at airports and in en
route airspace. TFM involves thousands of aircraft and several layers of
decision-makers scattered between the FAA, Airlines and other users of
airspace. Several types of uncertainties are pervasive in the system.
This talk explores the complexity and richness of the problems in TFM by
considering research in four different areas: (a) Characteristics of the
TFM Network, (b) Aggregate Models for TFM, (c) Relationship between
weather, traffic and delay and (d) Optimization. Current approaches
towards finding best solutions to these problems are discussed.
