The Next Generation aviation system will require
a diverse ability to analyze and research concepts and identified capabilities.
AAS has experience in airport and air traffic analysis coupled with
technology research and procedures development. Using this research and analysis
capability to develop viable ideas for improved scheduling and operations
concepts drives the motivation behind the AAS research efforts.
Our analyses focus has been associated
with system impact assessments which
benchmark, measure and evaluate concepts and the anticipated results of
associated actions as follows:
-
Post operations - As former airline, FAA, and contractor employees, we have performed numerous post operations analysis using airline and FAA tools, such as the Post Operations Evaluation Tool (POET). This analytical work examines the NAS in the real-time to gauge the impact of initiatives as they occurred and considers alternative methods to provide improved efficiency for similar occurrences and events.
-
Analysis of traffic volume, demand prediction, reliability, punctuality and other performance metrics and procedures at hub and high volume airports. Our main area of expertise covers the effects of demand in excess of capacity in the NAS and solutions to mitigate the rising levels of delay. Our work has been presented at the 2005
