Expertise
The Aerospace Operations thematic group contains a diverse range of academics with expertise across operations and applied logistics, mathematical modelling, AI and machine learning. Key examples include:
- Human Integration with Navigable Taxiway Sequencing (HINTS) – HINTS investigates the role of optimization-based decision support technology in ATCO decision making and performance.
- NATS - Heathrow Airport airside operations optimisation
- Personalised Airport Systems for Seamless Mobility and Experience (PASSME) – PASSME's principal objective is to reduce door-to-door air travel time by 1 hour.
