Predicting aircraft trajectory uncertainties for terminal airspace design evaluation

The terminal airspace that surrounds an airport is the area with high flight density and complex structure. Aircraft are asked to follow the standard arrival and departure routes in terminal airspace, yet the actual trajectories may deviate due to air traffic control (ATC) instructions, pilots' decisions, surveillance and flying performance...

Roles of waste carbon fibers on the efficiency of multiple induction heating healing behavior in asphalt mixture for sustainable infrastructure

This study systematically investigated the potential of waste carbon fibers (WCFs) as a sustainable solution in enhancing the multiple induction heating healing of asphalt mixture, thereby tackling two major concerns: the environmental impact of WCFs and the durability of asphalt pavement. Firstly, four groups of asphalt binder samples with...

Short-Term Nationwide Airport Throughput Prediction With Graph Attention Recurrent Neural Network

With the dynamic air traffic demand and the constrained capacity resources, accurately predicting airport throughput is essential to ensure the efficiency and resilience of air traffic operations. Many research efforts have been made to predict traffic throughputs or flight delays at an airport or over a network. However, it is still a...
