Lehrinhalte
The objective of the lecture is to convey a full understanding of the contemporary global air transportation system. The legal framework and relevant stakeholders (airports, airlines, air traffic management and passengers) are analyzed and interactions as well as areas of overlaping interests are underlined. The focus is on the equipment, the operational processes and the corresponding challenges like capacity bottlenecks, noise emission and the economic situation. The current state of research (NextGen, SESAR) is presented. Simulations and case studies are used to consolidate the content of the lectures.
Official Course Description
Aviation has developed from the first motor powered flight at the shore of Kitty Hawk to a worldwide cross-linked industry with essential impact on world economy. Commercial Aviation forms a complex system, whose separate components interact in many ways.
The Systemic Evaluation of Air Transportation lecture addresses the description and analysis of the system and its subcomponents. Interfaces and interactions as well as common interests and conflicts of the stakeholders in air transportation are illustrated. Current developments and future initiatives are considered. Furthermore, an overview over the regulative framework is offered.
