Objective and Automatic Estimation of Excess Taxi-Times
|
As the price of fuel continues to rise, airlines are increasingly seeking innovative ways to reduce fuel consumption. One solution is to reduce excess taxi-time resulting from holds on the airport surface. While it is implausible to eliminate all holding (especially during times of
high runway utilization), a detailed analysis of holding on a track-by-track basis allows
stakeholders to identify and quantify the excess fuel associated with specific issues (e.g.,
summaries by airport, runway, carrier, aircraft type, etc.). A track is the time-ordered position
data for a flight as it taxis.
