What makes this problem so challenging is the inherent uncertainty associated with forecasting these constraints, leaving human decision-makers reliant on experience to devise effective traffic management initiatives to mitigate demand in excess of resource capacity. This paper proposes to employ artificial intelligence-based methods to recommend traffic management initiatives under forecast uncertainty and to do so in a real-time planning context. The proposed algorithm consists of 1) a policy network that is generated offline using an Expert Iteration algorithm, 2) a statistical model that updates the likelihood of constraint futures based on observations, and 3) a Monte Carlo tree search algorithm that explores possible combinations of traffic management initiatives to identify the recommended actions for the current decision. The skill introduced by each of the algorithmic components is assessed for a case study focused on managing arrivals into the Atlanta Hartsfield–Jackson International Airport over 92 validation days.","PeriodicalId":36984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Air Transportation","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136161164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The IM Dependent Staggered Approach (DSA) application enables aircraft within a pair to achieve a spacing objective when arriving to parallel, dependently scheduled runways. These operations may require lengthier or more complex IM clearance communications that, coupled with manual entry of ownship route information and forecast winds, can result in a more challenging setup task than has been previously examined. An experiment with 16 pilots was conducted to examine the flight crew acceptability, feasibility, and technical assumptions related to conducting IM DSA operations in a metering environment with voice communications. Results show flight crew errors during entry of the clearance elements into the Cockpit Display of Traffic Information traffic display, especially with a long and highly complex IM clearance. The manual entry of ownship route and forecast wind information also appeared to increase the complexity of the entry task and the potential for errors. Recommendations are made to the Federal Aviation Administration and equipment manufacturers regarding IM communications and the design of related flight deck displays to avoid entry errors and, when they occur, indicate the source to pilots.","PeriodicalId":36984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Air Transportation","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135149606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current training materials are largely print based: restricted to text and two-dimensional images. However, interactive print training materials can include interactive augmented reality (AR) weather activities overlaid on text and images. This study compared learner-centered interactive print to print-only training. The participants completed both knowledge-based and scenario-based learning activities. The interactive print training activities significantly improved motivation to learn and engagement with the activities. There was no difference between the two groups when rating the perceived effectiveness. Both training groups improved factual knowledge; however, there was no difference between the two training groups. The participants in the interactive print training group performed significantly better in the knowledge-based activities but worse in the scenario-based activities as compared to the print training group. In the AR visual environment, participants may have relied on visual cues rather than the knowledge learned in the text. The evaluation suggests that AR-enhanced training can improve factual knowledge, positively impact motivation and engagement, and provide learning opportunities in a safe environment.","PeriodicalId":36984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Air Transportation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43483231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Applications for these commercial UAS range from risk mitigation and surveillance to package delivery. Coupled with these emerging applications are the unique factors that arise with a commercial UAS’s compact size and low-altitude flights among the civilian populace. In this work, a value model was created to attempt to aid in determining the infringement of a UAS operation configuration on a civilian environment. Value functions were developed in an additive model that measures infringement (a UAS’s encroachment or trespass on a right or privilege of a civilian) based on these attributes. The resulting value model was tested by running 100,000 random simulations. Analysis of the simulation results and sensitivity analysis of the model showed that fleet size, proximity, duration of the operation within a certain proximity, and total operation duration were the attributes that drove a UAS operation’s infringement on an environment. A use case of an Amazon delivery application was then examined. This is a realistic scenario simulated to study if duration of an operation and time near a structure are kept to a minimum, the infringement of an operation remained low. This study provides initial determination of how infringement of UAS can be quantified and what infringement values may look like for different operational scenarios.","PeriodicalId":36984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Air Transportation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49258899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One promising solution to avoid such risks is preflight information sharing and conflict resolution between manned aircraft and small unmanned aircraft systems. However, detailed flight plan information is often not available for aircraft operating under visual flight rules. The authors developed flight estimation methods for a visual flight rules helicopter flight by using the information extracted from the visual flight rules flight plan, such as the origin/destination points, the estimated flight time, and the names of the points on the route. Furthermore, one method estimates the positional coordinate of points on the route by using the track data of the previous flights. The proposed methods were evaluated by comparing the results with the actual track, and they are discussed from the viewpoints of information quality and implementation effort. Potential implementation for future operational environment in a low-altitude airspace was investigated based on the evaluation results. Finally, recommendations are provided for preflight information sharing and conflict resolution between visual flight rules aircraft and small unmanned aircraft systems.","PeriodicalId":36984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Air Transportation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43996887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
