ABSTRACT
A basic conceptual simulation of the entire Air Transportation System was developed to serve as an analytical tool for studying the interactions among the System elements. The simulation is designed to function in an interactive computer graphics environment which permits rapid alteration of rules and parameters, as well as continuous real-time graphical monitoring of system operations. The simulation described here is the first member in an evolving hierarchy of increasingly complex models, progressing in the direction of closer approximation to the real-world Air Transportation System.

Air transportation simulation: SimAir: a stochastic model of airline operations
WSC '00: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulationAirline transportation systems are inherently random. However, airline planning models do not explicitly consider stochasticity in operations. Because of this, there is often a notable discrepancy between a schedule's planned and actual performance. ...
Modeling Passenger Travel and Delays in the National Air Transportation System
<P>Many of the existing methods for evaluating an airline's on-time performance are based on flight-centric measures of delay. However, recent research has demonstrated that passenger delays depend on many factors in addition to flight delays. For ...
A Complex Network Analysis of the United States Air Transportation
ASONAM '12: Proceedings of the 2012 International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining (ASONAM 2012)The air transportation industry has a great impact on the economy. In this paper, we analyze the air transportation network in the U.S. to better understand its characteristics. For this, we measure several complex network features including average ...
