This paper implements and compares four coordination policies through agent-based
modeling and simulation (ABMS), motivated by the need to understand and further optimize …

Air traffic management (ATM) comprises a highly complex socio-technical system that keeps
air traffic flowing safely and efficiently, worldwide, every minute of the year. Over the last few …

Each stakeholder in the air transportation system has a different perspective on the
performance efficiency metrics, making analysis of system-wide design options very difficult …

Abstract Complexity in the Air Transportation System (ATS) arises from the intermingling of
many independent physical resources, operational paradigms, and stakeholder interests, as …

Computer simulations are widely used to design and evaluate air traffic systems. A fast time
simulation capability is essential to effectively explore the consequences of decisions in …

This paper describes key elements involved in applying a system-of-systems approach to
modeling future air transportation architectures. Overall, this approach links together not only …

This paper describes past and present air-traffic-management research at NASA Ames
Research Center. The descriptions emerge from the perspective of a technical manager who …

A comprehensive framework for representing transpportation architectures is presented.
After discussing a series of preceding perspectives and formulations, the intellectual …

The paper describes an agent-based simulation developed to test the benefits of inserting
airline dispatch technology as well as a collaborative rerouting concept for the National …

Air traffic system is analyzed from the aspects of system's attributes internal operating
mechanisms and external behaviors. A hybrid air traffic simulation model described by the …
