Risk-aware Urban Air Mobility Network Design with Overflow Redundancy
Qinshuang Wei, Zhenyu Gao, John-Paul Clarke +1
Urban air mobility (UAM), as envisioned by aviation professionals, will transport passengers and cargo at low altitudes within urban and suburban areas. To operate in urban environ…
Nested Vehicle Routing Problem: Optimizing Drone-Truck Surveillance Operations
Fanruiqi Zeng, Zaiwei Chen, John-Paul Clarke +1
Unmanned aerial vehicles or drones are becoming increasingly popular due to their low cost and high mobility. In this paper we address the routing and coordination of a drone-truck…
Using Submodularity within Column Generation to Solve the Flight-to-Gate Assignment Problem
Yijiang Li, John-Paul Clarke, Santanu Dey
In this paper, we provide a column generation-based approach for solving the airport flight-to-gate assignment problem, where the goal is to minimize the on-ground portion of arriv…
Finite-Sample Analysis of Nonlinear Stochastic Approximation with Applications in Reinforcement Learning
Zaiwei Chen, Sheng Zhang, Thinh T. Doan +2
Motivated by applications in reinforcement learning (RL), we study a nonlinear stochastic approximation (SA) algorithm under Markovian noise, and establish its finite-sample conver…
Passenger Flow Predictions at Sydney International Airport: A Data-Driven Queuing Approach
Harold Nikoue, Aude Marzuoli, John-Paul Clarke +2
Time spent in processing zones at an airport are an important part of the passenger's airport experience. It undercuts the time spent in the rest of the airport, and therefore the…
Vertical Trajectory Optimization to Minimize Environmental Impact in the Presence of Wind
Sang Gyun Park, John-Paul Clarke
The vertical trajectory optimization for the en route descent phase is studied in the presence of both along track and cross winds, which are both modeled as functions of altitude.…
