  • Aviation System CHANGES SINCE SEPTEMBER 2001 AND IMPLICATIONS FOR AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT PLANS
    Designing Constructing Maintaining and Financing Today's Airport Projects, 2002
    Co-Authors: Geoffrey D. Gosling, Mark Hansen
    Abstract:

    This paper describes how the drop in traffic and other changes in the Aviation System since September 11, 2001 have had a profound effect on airport finances and plans to prepare for the future growth in traffic that had been expected prior to those events. Many airports are now facing difficult decisions over when planned increases in capacity may now be required and whether the changes in the Aviation industry will require those plans to be reconsidered to address possible changes in future traffic composition or new security requirements. The paper presents the initial results of a monitoring activity to better understand the impact on California's Aviation System after these events, and to track the recovery of traffic levels in the System. The paper addresses three aspects of Aviation activity: (1) airport passenger and cargo traffic; (2) aircraft operations and changes in the pattern of air service; and (3) relates the impact on the California Aviation System to larger trends at the national level. Based on these findings, the paper examines the extent to which traffic levels are recovering to their previously projected levels and discusses the implications for Aviation System finances and airport development plans.

  • The California Aviation System: Current Status and Recent Trends
    2002
    Co-Authors: Mark Hansen, Geoffrey D. Gosling, Tarja Kettunen, Erik Wilkins
    Abstract:

    This report presents statistical information on passenger and cargo traffic, aircraft activity and delays at California airports. Five main topics are considered: passenger enplanements, air travel origin and destination (O-D) patterns, air cargo activity, aircraft operations, and airport delays. In most cases, we present data for the state as a whole, major regions within the state, and major airports within each region. Most of the data are compiled on an annual basis for the years from 1980 to 2000. The report concludes with a discussion of the changes in activity in the California Aviation System since the events of September 11, 2001, and some of the implications of these changes.

  • Aviation System Performance Measures for State Transportation Planning
    Transportation Research Record, 2000
    Co-Authors: Geoffrey D. Gosling
    Abstract:

    A proposed set of Aviation System performance measures that have been defined to support multimodal transportation planning in California is presented. As part of the 1998 update of the California Transportation Plan (CTP), the California Department of Transportation has defined a framework of System performance measures that could be applied on a multimodal basis to assess the performance of the transportation System, support informed decision making, and establish a coordinated and consistent process for performance measurement throughout the state. The research that is described examined approaches to measuring the performance of the Aviation System that have been adopted at a national level and in other states, as well as general principles for measurement of transportation System performance that emerged from a conference held in 1997 as part of the CTP update process. The range of considerations that arise in measuring the performance of the Aviation System is discussed, and potential performance me...

Finally, issues that will need to be addressed in implementing any comprehensive set of performance measures for the Aviation component of the transportation System are discussed.

  • Network analysis of China's Aviation System, statistical and spatial structure
    Journal of Transport Geography, 2012
    Co-Authors: Jingyi Lin
    Abstract:

    Aviation Systems are less geographically constrained compared to ground transportation because their routes are not so affected by geographical conditions. For this reason, Aviation Systems are endowed to some extent with a distinctive network topology and spatial pattern. In this article, the statistical features of China’s Aviation System (CAS) are investigated through a complex network approach by examining weekly flight patterns. The correlation study proves the existence of a spatial hierarchical structure within China’s Aviation network, which implies a more complex spatial mechanism. Subsequently the spatial structure of CAS is explored based on the flight distances between airport cities. In light of three measurements of node strength, population and GDP, It has been decided that the spatial effect of China’s Aviation System should be analyzed separately in term of different distance scales. Only for medium- and long-distance travel, the flight patterns conform to a gravitation law; therefore, the distance dependence function can be generalized as a scaling relationship. In summary, from a complex network angle, this paper provides preliminary but enlightening insights to understanding the unique spatial mechanism of Aviation Systems.

  • T-timed Discrete Petri Net Modeling of Bus-based Satellite Aviation System
    Computer Simulation, 2009
    Co-Authors: Zhang Shi-jie
    Abstract:

    The performance and reliability of satellite are determined by Aviation System (AS) scheme, because AS is the management center of satellite and it performs the mission of parameters collecting, data dealing, information extraction and various control mode executing, etc. The bus-based micro-satellite Aviation System scheme was proposed and the corresponding T- timed discrete PetriNet model was designed. Then the performance analysis and evaluation was discussed. The mathematical simulation results show that the bus-based Aviation System is more suitable in or-board real time computation.
