講座題目：Using Historical Data to Inform Human Air Traffic Flow Management Decisions

講座時間：2019年10月29日（周二）9:30-11:30

講座地點：南航将軍路校區1号樓10302教室

主講人：Professor David Lovell

講座内容簡介：

The NEXTOR aviation operations research group at the University of Maryland has a long history of helping the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration develop algorithms, optimization models, and analyses of traffic flow management initiatives, including Ground Delay Programs and Airspace Flow Programs. The purpose of these initiatives is to manage scheduled traffic into constrained resources such as en route sectors and terminal airspace in the event of demand/capacity imbalances, such as in the presence of adverse weather. As data resources continue to grow, this increases the scope and sophistication that can be applied to these initiatives. In this presentation, Dr. Lovell will talk about some recent projects aimed at extracting information from large historical data sets to aid in the human decision-making process surrounding the design and implementation of these traffic management programs. Some technical details on the machine learning and data science techniques will be included, which reflect both the history of these projects but also some anticipated future research.
