Researchers apply a new AI-enabled approach to optimize the safety and efficiency of airports. Tested at LAX, the study reveals significant reductions in taxiway conflicts, fuel consumption, and hourly throughput.
A new study published in the Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering aims to ease that burden, while increasing airport safety, efficiency, and sustainability. The team introduces a trajectory-based simulation and multi-objective optimization framework designed to help controllers make safer, more efficient runway assignment decisions...
