School of AAE Ph.D. candidate Christabelle Bosson has received commendation two recent contributions to the aviation field of air traffic management.
During the 33rd Digital Avionics Systems Conference (DASC) in Colorado Springs held October 5-9, 2014, her paper entitled Optimizing Integrated Airspace Operations under Uncertainty was awarded best paper of the Air Traffic Management track. The DASC technical program was comprised of over 178 papers organized into 8 tracks reflecting key research and applications in the field of digital avionics. Bosson wrote the paper in collaboration with Dr. Min Xue of University of California Santa Cruz and Shannon Zelinski of NASA Ames Research Center.
The Digital Avionics Systems Conference is designed to provide an international forum for discussions of new ideas, research, development, and applications in order to stimulate and inspire pioneering work in the field of digital avionics and related areas. An outcome of these discussions is the acquisition of high-quality technical papers for publication in DASC Proceedings and other appropriate publications such as the AIAA Journal of Aircraft and IEEE Systems magazine.
Additionally, Bosson received a NASA New Technology Report for developing an optimization framework using a stochastic scheduling algorithm that integrates arrival, departure, and surface operations in the terminal airspace. The technology is a fast-decision support algorithm which computes optimal schedules and routings of a set of flights evolving in a defined terminal airspace in the presence of uncertainty. The new technology contributes to the air traffic management field as an effort to help improve the operations efficiency in the terminal airspace.
NASA New Technology Reports (NTR) maximize the use of cutting-edge technologies. NTRs allow NASA to apply work broadly across the Agency, while also tracking progress toward its research and development goals.
