| 摘要： | The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) estimates that 70% of air traffic delays result from inclement weather. These delays translate into significant revenue losses for airlines. For example, a report from the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee concluded that air traffic delays cost U.S. airlines approximately $19.1 billion dollars in operating costs in 2007. Approximately two-thirds of weather-related delays are caused by thunderstorms (convective weather). While thunderstorms do not completely shut down the airspace, they significantly disrupt the structured flight-routing and control process that is the foundation of the U.S. air traffic control system. To address the problem of costly delays triggered by thunderstorms, MIT Lincoln Laboratory developed a decision support tool that helps air traffic managers determine when to close and reopen departure routes during periods of convective weather. The Route Availability Planning Tool (RAPT) provides current, reliable route-availability information in a user-friendly format. Automated route conditions displayed on a data-rich interface help relieve the decision-making burden typically faced by air traffic managers -- gathering weather information, mentally envisioning the repercussions of the weather data, rechecking for rapidly changing weather, and then deciding to allow aircraft to depart. The RAPT concept was initially supported by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and the FAA in 2007 established a program to field an operational prototype. Currently, RAPT is being used by airports in the New York/New Jersey and Chicago regions. RAPT is expected to be deployed to the Potomac and Philadelphia regions by 2015. |
