Airport operations are affected by the unpredictable nature of flight times, departure delays, weather conditions, and other factors.
Research from Lancaster University Management School (LUMS) uses computer simulations to show how airports can arrange landings to help reduce delays and improve punctuality.
In their new paper, Dr. Rob Shone, Distinguished Professor Kevin Glazebrook and Distinguished Professor Konstantinos Zografos employ novel and complex models to estimate aircraft arrival times, using simulations that account for changes in-flight to capture real-life situations in a more accurate manner.
