FACET: Future ATM Concepts Evaluation Tool
TL;DR: The FACET (Future Air Traffic Concepts Evaluation Tool) as discussed by the authors is used to simulate environments in order to test and develop air traffic management concepts, including prototypes of airborne self-separation, decision support for direct routing, advanced traffic flow management techniques and the integration of the operation of space launch vehicles in U.S. airspace.

Abstract: This article describes FACET (Future Air Traffic Concepts Evaluation Tool), which is to be used to simulate environments in order to test and develop air traffic management concepts. It can model trajectories of more than 5,000 aircraft on a desktop computer. It includes prototypes of airborne self-separation, decision support for direct routing, advanced traffic flow management techniques and the integration of the operation of space launch vehicles in the U.S. airspace.

Conflict resolution problems for air traffic management systems solved with mixed integer programming
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the problem of solving conflicts arising among several aircraft that are assumed to move in a shared airspace and propose two different formulations of the multiaircraft conflict avoidance problem as a mixed-integer linear program.

Modelling delay propagation within an airport network
TL;DR: An analytical queuing and network decomposition model developed to study the complex phenomenon of the propagation of delays within a large network of major airports is described and provides insights into the interactions through which delays propagate through the network and the often-counterintuitive consequences.

TL;DR: This paper analyzes departure and arrival data for ten major airports in the United States that experience large volumes of traffic and significant delays and shows that departure delay is better modeled using a Poisson distribution, while the enroute and arrival delays fit the Normal distribution better.

New Approach for Modeling, Analysis, and Control of Air Traffic Flow
TL;DR: An Eulerian approach to modeling air traffic flow is advanced and it is shown that analysis and design methods from linear control theory can be applied to this model to yield useful approaches for characterizing and controlling theAir traffic flow.

Adjoint-based control of a new eulerian network model of air traffic flow
TL;DR: An Eulerian network model for air traffic flow in the National Airspace System is developed and used to design flow control schemes which could be used by Air Traffic Controllers to optimize traffic flow.

TL;DR: The develop-ment of a metric that predicts controller workload as afunction of air traffic characteristics in a volume of airspace is essential to the development of both air traffic management automation and air traffic procedures.

TL;DR: The Center-TRACON Automation System (CTAS) as discussed by the authors is a system for automated management and control of terminal area traffic, referred to as the CTAS, which consists of three types of integrated tools that provide computergenerated advisories for both en-route and terminal area controllers to guide them in managing and controlling arrival traffic efficiently.

TL;DR: Results show that dynamic density can be predicted up to 20 minutes in advance and errors in predictions can be further, as well as actual and predicted dynamic density using traffic data from Dallas/Fort Worth airspace.
