Air Transportation Systems Engineering

Unlike the highway traffic engineering subdiscipline of civil engineering, the field of air transportation systems engineering is just emerging. Several good books are available on aircraft avionics, but they do not relate well to the overall air traffic management system. Other books on air traffic control do not discuss air traffic management or the new aspects of central flow control or collaborative decision making.

List of contents

Economics of Congestion; Airport Operations and Constraints; Airspace Operations nd Constraints; U.S. and European Comparisons; Safety and Free Flight; The Changing Role of Air Traffic Controllers; Emerging Issues in Aircraft Self-Separation

About the author

George L. DonOhue became the Professor of Systems Engineering and Operations Research at George Mason University in February 2000. He was the Associate Administrator of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration Research, Engineering, and Acquisition from 1994-1998. In this capacity he initiated the development of the nas architecture that is currently the roadmap for the future us atm system, in 1997 he headed the us delegation to the icao rio de janeiro conference on CNS/ATM moderization and initiated the capstone demonstration in alaska, he was a vice president of the rand corporation from 1989 to 1994. Andres G. Zellweger is Dean of Graduate Programs and Research at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. He is the former director of aviation research for the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and was instrumental in the development of the International Civil Aviation Organization's Future Air Navigation System.

Summary

This title explains the technical nature of, and reports on research on, the evolution of the international air transportation systems. It also provides approaches to airspace management and new roles for controllers and pilots.
