Airport Improvement Task Force Delay Study: Data Collection, Reduction, and Analysis


Book Description

A plan is presented for the collection, reduction, and analysis of data in support of the validation of an airside delay simulation model. Data collection forms are presented along with the forms on which data are reduced and finally merged from several sources into a single summary format by aircraft. Detailed suggestions are given for the statistical analysis of model estimates and for a time series analysis of these estimates vis-a-vis corresponding observed data. Included are guidelines for interpreting the results of the statistical tests. (Author).




Airport Improvement Task Force Delay Study: Delay Model Validation Plan


Book Description

A validation plan is presented for an airside simulation model. The plan stresses basic principles of validation and inherent problems associated with comparing simulation model delay estimates with observable real-world data. A methodology is proposed that consists of three major steps: (1) evaluation of model logic, inputs, and outputs; (2) comparison of model estimates with collected data; and (3) a sensitivity analysis of the delay simulation model. A Model Validation Group, established to oversee the validation process, is described. Suggestions are given on sources of data on airside operations for model inputs and for comparisons with model estimates. (Author).




Task Force Delay Study. San Francisco International Airport


Book Description

This report presents the results of a detailed analysis of the San Francisco International Airport. The analysis was conducted by the San Francisco Airport Improvement Working Group which had representatives from the airport sponsor, the Air Transport Association, the airlines serving San Francisco, and the Federal Aviation Administration. The purpose of the analysis was to determine the causes of delay and the potential delay reduction benefits of recommended improvements. The effort was part of the Airport Improvement Program.

Los Angeles International Airport Technical Plan. Airport Improvement Task Force Delay Studies


Book Description

This technical plan has been designed for use by FAA Headquarters, the Los Angeles Task Force, NAFEC, and PMM & CO, during the Los Angeles International Airport Delay Improvement Study. The plan consists of three parts and includes recommendations for the following: Approach and Milestones--establishes work tasks, responsibilities, and the interrelationship of Task Force participants, as well as major milestones representing decision/approval/redirection points in the study, Experimental Design--describes criteria and recommendations for model runs to prepare delay estimates, and Data Requirements--specifies model inputs and outputs, and data collection needs and responsibilities.
