Description
John Wiley (Wse) Modeling And Optimization Of Air Traffic by Delahaye
This book combines the research activities of the authors, bothof whom are researchers at Ecole Nationale de l AviationCivile (French National School of Civil Aviation), and presentstheir findings from the last 15 years. Their work uses airtransport as its focal point, within the realm of mathematicaloptimization, looking at real life problems and theoretical modelsin tandem, and the challenges that accompany studying bothapproaches. The authors research is linked with the attempt to reduceair space congestion in Western Europe, USA and, increasingly,Asia. They do this through studying stochastic optimization(particularly artificial evolution), the sectorization of airspace,route distribution and takeoff slots, and by modeling airspacecongestion. Finally, the authors discuss their short, medium and long termresearch goals. They hope that their work, although related to airtransport, will be applied to other fields, such is thetransferable nature of mathematical optimization. At the same time,they intend to use other areas of research, such as approximationand statistics to complement their continued inquiry in their ownfield.
