Congestion Modeling and Mitigation in the National Airspace System
October 25, 2013 12:00 pm - October 25, 2013 1:00 pm
Where: Room 204 of the Distance Learning Center Wing of the Urban Center on the Portland State University campus
Speaker: David Lovell, Associate Professor, University of Maryland
Topic: Congestion Modeling and Mitigation in the National Airspace System
Summary: Dr. Lovell will talk about three projects funded by NASA and the FAA, addressing congestion in the National Airspace System. Dr. Lovell's team developed diffusion-based queuing models of individual airports that could support better building blocks for network-wide congestion models. The advantage of the new models is their flexibility with respect to input distributions. In a study for the FAA, Dr. Lovell's team developed day-of-operations collaboration "languages" suitable for the FAA and individual carriers in order to collectively manage expected airspace disruptions. Finally, he will discuss a study on predictability in the airspace, with a focus on scheduled block times.
