  • the modernized national airspace system performance Analysis Capability naspac
    2008
    Co-Authors: Joseph Post, Kimberly Noonan, James Bonn, John Gulding, Daniel Murphy, Michael Graham
    Abstract:

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) uses computer models to quantify the impacts of technological, procedural, and infrastructure changes on the performance of the National Airspace System (NAS). The National Airspace System Performance Analysis Capability (NASPAC), the FAA’s standard system-wide model, is a discrete-event simulation which represents the NAS as a network of airport and airspace queues. The paper describes the model and how it is being modernized to support ongoing evaluations of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) and the Operational Evolution Partnership (OEP), the Agency’s modernization plan. The paper goes on to present some validation results which compare NASPAC output to actual system response for eight historical days. Finally, the paper describes enhancements planned for the model over the next year.

  • The Aviation System Analysis Capability Air Carrier Cost-Benefit Model
    1999
    Co-Authors: Eric M. Gaier, Alexander Edlich, Tara S. Santmire, Earl R. Wingrove
    Abstract:

    To meet its objective of assisting the U.S. aviation industry with the technological challenges of the future, NASA must identify research areas that have the greatest potential for improving the operation of the air transportation system. Therefore, NASA is developing the ability to evaluate the potential impact of various advanced technologies. By thoroughly understanding the economic impact of advanced aviation technologies and by evaluating how the new technologies will be used in the integrated aviation system, NASA aims to balance its aeronautical research program and help speed the introduction of high-leverage technologies. To meet these objectives, NASA is building the Aviation System Analysis Capability (ASAC). NASA envisions ASAC primarily as a process for understanding and evaluating the impact of advanced aviation technologies on the U.S. economy. ASAC consists of a diverse collection of models and databases used by analysts and other individuals from the public and private sectors brought together to work on issues of common interest to organizations in the aviation community. ASAC also will be a resource available to the aviation community to analyze; inform; and assist scientists, engineers, analysts, and program managers in their daily work. The ASAC differs from previous NASA modeling efforts in that the economic behavior of buyers and sellers in the air transportation and aviation industries is central to its conception. Commercial air carriers, in particular, are an important stakeholder in this community. Therefore, to fully evaluate the implications of advanced aviation technologies, ASAC requires a flexible financial Analysis tool that credibly links the technology of flight with the financial performance of commercial air carriers. By linking technical and financial information, NASA ensures that its technology programs will continue to benefit the user community. In addition, the Analysis tool must be capable of being incorporated into the wide-ranging suite of economic and technical models that comprise ASAC. This report describes an Air Carrier Cost-Benefit Model (CBM) that meets these requirements. The ASAC CBM is distinguished from many of the aviation cost-benefit models by its exclusive focus on commercial air carriers. The model considers such benefit categories as time and fuel savings, utilization opportunities, reliability and capacity enhancements, and safety and security improvements. The model distinguishes between benefits that are predictable and those that occur randomly. By making such a distinction, the model captures the ability of air carriers to reoptimize scheduling and crew assignments for predictable benefits. In addition, the model incorporates a life-cycle cost module for new technology, which applies the costs of nonrecurring acquisitions, recurring maintenance and operation, and training to each aircraft equipment type independently.

  • The Aviation System Analysis Capability Noise Impact Model
    1998
    Co-Authors: Earl R. Wingrove, Melissa Burn, Jeffrey N. Carey, Kevin A. Bradley
    Abstract:

    To meet its objective of assisting the U.S. aviation industry with the technological challenges of the future, NASA must identify research areas that have the greatest potential for improving the operation of the air transportation system. To accomplish this, NASA is building an Aviation System Analysis Capability (ASAC). The Noise Impact Model (NIM) has been developed as part of the ASAC. Its primary purpose is to enable users to examine the impact that quieter aircraft technologies and/or operation might have on community noise impact and air carrier operating efficiency at any of 16 large and medium size U.S. airports. The analyst chooses an airport and case year to study, selects a runway use configuration and set of flight tracks for the scenario, and has the option of reducing the noise of the aircraft that operate at the airport by 3, 6, and 10 decibels, NIM computes the resultant noise impact and estimates any airline operational improvements.
