The following paper presents an innovative approach for dealing with complex capacity problems in aviation. We introduce a sliding window framework composed by an optimization method with a simulation component. By applying this framework in diverse problems that are dependent on time it is possible …

Mexico City airport is located close to the center of the city and is Mexico’s busiest airport which is considered congested. One of the consequences of airport congestion are flight delays which in turn decrease costumer’s satisfaction. Air traffic control has been using a ground delay program as a …

Airports and surrounding airspaces are limited in terms of capacity and represent the major bottleneck in the air traffic management system. This paper proposes a two level model to tackle the integrated optimization problem of arrival, departure, and surface operations. The macroscopic level considers …

Airports represent the major bottleneck in the air traffic management system with increasing traffic density. Enhanced levels of automation and coordination of surface operations are imperative to reduce congestion and to improve efficiency. This paper addresses the problem of comparing different control …

We get into an Uber car, and the driver passes by the Kremlin walls, guided by GPS. At the end of the ride, the bill turns out to be three times as expensive than usual. What is the matter? We check the route, and the screen shows that we travelled to an airport outside of Moscow. Impossible. We look …

KLM is downsizing the full-freight cargo fleet in Schiphol Airport, for that reason it is important for the company and the airport to explore the consequences of moving the cargo transported by the full freighters into the bellies of the passenger flights. The consequences of this action in terms of …

Recently KLM has revealed the plan to downsize the full-freight cargo fleet in Schiphol Airport, for that reason it is important for the company and the airport to explore the consequences of moving the cargo transported by the full freighters into the bellies of the passenger flights. The consequences …

Door de snelle groei van het aantal vliegtuigbewegingen in de afgelopen jaren loopt de luchthaven Schiphol vol. Er is hierdoor geen capaciteit meer beschikbaar om meer vliegtuigen te kunnen laten opstijgen en landen, waardoor KLM niet verder kan groeien. In 2008 zijn er in het Aldersakkoord afspraken …

Past research on designing for behavioural change mostly concerned linear design processes, whereas in practice, Agile design methods are increasingly popular. This paper evaluates the possibilities and limitations of using Agile design methods in theory-driven design for behavioural change. We performed …

Traditionally airport systems have been studied using an approach in which the different elements of the system are studied independently. Until recently scientific community has put attention in developing models and techniques that study the system using holistic approaches for understanding cause …
