- Description
- NASA Airspace System Program (ASP) research is directly addressing the fundamentalresearch needs of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) in partnershipwith the member agencies of the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO). NextGenrepresents a substantial and long-term change in the management and operation of theUnited States National Air Transportation System (NAS). The NAS includes all airports andairspace under the authority of the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA).ASP supports this effort through the NextGen Concepts and Technology Development (CTD)Project and the NextGen Systems Analysis, Integration and Evaluation (SAIE) Project. Thetasks defined for this effort support the Systems and Portfolio Analysis (SPA) elementwithin SAIE. SPA conducts system studies on integrated ASP concepts to identify thesystem benefits or impacts. The behavior of air carriers in the NAS needs to beunderstood to allow accurate modeling. With this understanding of air carrier behavior,incentives need to be designed to balance the individual objectives of the participantsand the overall best operation of the NAS. The understanding of air carrier behaviorneeds to be formalized in models and integrated in overall system analysis and designmethods.The scope of this effort is to enable quantified assessments of NextGen concepts andtechnologies, taking into account air carrier behavior, across all areas of interestincluding but not limited to safety, risk, environmental impacts and economics. Specifically, modeling of the behavior of air carriers is required to understand thedecision-making logic of air carriers, and the consequences of their decisions to theNAS. This understanding of consequences allows the development of appropriate incentivesto achieve desired policy outcomes balanced with the individual objectives of the aircarriers.The work is fundamental research into deriving the functional relationship between thecontrollable variables of the NAS and the comprehensive set of utilities (objectives andconstraints) in the NAS, including the utilities of the participants, such as passengerand cargo carriers, pilots, air traffic controllers, the FAA, and the overall NASutilities. The research must take into account conjectured behavior utilities ofautonomous vehicles including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
