Bouarfa, S. (author), Blom, H.A.P. (author), Curran, R. (author), Everdij, M.H.C. (author)Purpose Commercial aviation is feasible thanks to the complex socio-technical air transportation system, which involves interactions between human operators, technical systems, and procedures. In view of the expected growth in commercial aviation, significant changes in this socio-technical system are in development both in the USA and Europe....journal article 2013

Curran, R. (author), Fischer, L. (author), Pérez, D. (author), Klein, K. (author), Hoekstra, J. (author), Roling, P. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author)Air transport must evolve if it is to optimize its value in the 21st century. The mood in the aerospace industry is positive with regard to economic recovery, but the focus in this transitional time must be on sustaining value, without losing sight of environmental and safety prioritiesbook 2012

Curran, R. (author), Smulders, F. (author), Van der Zwan, F.M. (author)This paper describes the development of the Airside Value Model. In the field of airport operations and airport performance measurement, there is much focus on ‘economical performance’. Additionally, Key Performance Indicators to assess airside operations are used, but these sets of KPIs are very diverse and the reasons for measuring them are...conference paper 2011

Goossens, H.G. (author), Beelaerts van Blokland, W.W.A. (author), Curran, R. (author)This research paper presents the results from the development of an Aircraft Maintenance Operations Performance Assessment Model (AMOPAM). The AMOPAM is able to assess the differences in performance in between two different states or scenarios of aircraft maintenance operations and is able to capture these differences both in the form of...conference paper 2011

Saunders, G.N. (author), Curran, R. (author)This paper tells of the development of a course designed to help students set up their own operations research projects. The course was taught in a lecture format with much room for interaction and the students were required to make submit formal research plans for their operations research projects as well as literature review. The initial...conference paper 2011

Van Diepen, G. (author), Curran, R. (author)Unbundling the traditional airfare is one of the airline industry’s practices to generate ancillary revenue in its struggle for profitability. However, unbundling might just as well negatively affect profit. In this paper deterministic price setting rules are established to guarantee profitability of unbundling irrespective of what product is...conference paper 2011

Schroijen, M.J.T. (author), Van Tooren, M.J.L. (author), Voskuijl, M. (author), Curran, R. (author)Next generations of civil transport aircraft will need to be evaluated not only against their behaviour as an aircraft system but also as a part of the larger air transport system. In addition to this are the sustainability issues related to for instance noise and emissions, represented by environmental impact. Both issues mandate the...conference paper 2011

Curran, R. (author), Van der Zwan, F.M. (author), Ouwehand, A. (author), Ghijs, S.S.A. (author)The paper presents the results from a study in collaboration with an airline that looked at modeling the relationship of maintenance and fuel burn costs relative to minimizing the life cycle cost relative to schedule. The work has verified that the bucket theory presented in the paper is a correct and has a direct impact on the scheduling...conference paper 2010

(author)This paper gives insight in the development of a Value Operations Methodology (VOM) that can be used to support Value Driven Design (VDD). The VOM establishes expressions for operational value levers that are incorporated into a weighted value function. This value function is then used to optimize the design variables that are incorporated into...conference paper 2010

Curran, R. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Van Tooren, M.J.L. (author)The paper is associated with the integration of multi-disciplinary knowledge within a Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE)-enabled design framework. To support this integration effort, the KNOMAD methodology has been devised. KNOMAD stands for Knowledge Optimized Manufacture And Design and is a methodology for the analytical utilisation of multi...conference paper 2010

Wan Mohamed, W.M. (author), Curran, R. (author), Van der Zwan, F.M. (author), Roling, P. (author)Noise is one of the main concerns of airports around the world. Several measures have been taken by regulators to reduce noise at airports. Some of these measures are meant to control noise at major or busy airports; however, certain operational restrictions (quota, curfew, and budget) are also implemented throughout the whole country regardless...conference paper 2009
