An Analytical Methodology for Quantifying Airspace Conflict Rate and Complexity
Andrew P. Kendall, John-Paul Clarke
Air traffic growth, advanced air mobility, and increasingly autonomous operations are driving the need for scalable and adaptive airspace design methodologies. Central to this chal…
Modeling the Impact of Communication and Human Uncertainties on Runway Capacity in Terminal Airspace
Yutian Pang, Andrew Kendall, John-Paul Clarke
We investigate the potential impact of communication and human performance uncertainties on runway operations. Specifically, we consider these impacts within the context of an arri…
From Voice to Safety: Language AI Powered Pilot-ATC Communication Understanding for Airport Surface Movement Collision Risk Assessment
Yutian Pang, Andrew Paul Kendall, Alex Porcayo +3
This work provides a feasible solution to the existing airport surface safety monitoring capabilities (i.e., Airport Surface Surveillance Capability (ASSC)), namely language AI-bas…
The Reliability of Remotely Piloted Aircraft System Performance under Aeronautical Communication Uncertainties
Yutian Pang, Andrew Paul Kendall, John-Paul Clarke
Mission-critical operations of highly maneuverable Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) require reliable communication to ensure safe integration into existing airspace. Unders…
Spatio-Temporal Differential Dynamic Programming for Control of Fields
Ethan N. Evans, Oswin So, Andrew P. Kendall +2
We consider the optimal control problem of a general nonlinear spatio-temporal system described by Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). Theory and algorithms for control of spati…
Stochastic Spatio-Temporal Optimization for Control and Co-Design of Systems in Robotics and Applied Physics
Ethan N. Evans, Andrew P. Kendall, Evangelos A. Theodorou
Correlated with the trend of increasing degrees of freedom in robotic systems is a similar trend of rising interest in Spatio-Temporal systems described by Partial Differential Equ…
Spatio-Temporal Stochastic Optimization: Theory and Applications to Optimal Control and Co-Design
Ethan N. Evans, Andrew P. Kendall, George I. Boutselis +1
There is a rising interest in Spatio-temporal systems described by Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) among the control community. Not only are these systems challenging to cont…
