Investigation of Delay Propagation in Airline Schedules and the Impact on Network Reliability. This project will investigate the phenomenon of delay propagation in airline schedules and potential ways to mitigate the impact on network reliability. This project will improve our understanding of the complex behaviour of airline schedule systems in dealing with delay propagation and significantly enhance airlines' ability of controlling schedule delays. Australian airlines and passengers will benef ....Investigation of Delay Propagation in Airline Schedules and the Impact on Network Reliability. This project will investigate the phenomenon of delay propagation in airline schedules and potential ways to mitigate the impact on network reliability. This project will improve our understanding of the complex behaviour of airline schedule systems in dealing with delay propagation and significantly enhance airlines' ability of controlling schedule delays. Australian airlines and passengers will benefit from this project by improving schedule reliability, reducing schedule delays and delay costs, which are estimated at a hundred million dollars per year. This saving will also benefit passengers through lower fares. Developed scheduling methodologies are applicable to all other airlines.Read moreRead less
Optimal Control of Multi-Object System. Better understanding of multi-object systems developed from this research, in particular, optimal control algorithms for multi-object systems have several significant socio-economic benefits. Application areas that benefits from our research include aerospace applications such as radar, sonar, guidance, navigation, and air traffic control and non-aerospace areas such as image processing, oceanography autonomous vehicles and robotics, remote sensing, and bi ....Optimal Control of Multi-Object System. Better understanding of multi-object systems developed from this research, in particular, optimal control algorithms for multi-object systems have several significant socio-economic benefits. Application areas that benefits from our research include aerospace applications such as radar, sonar, guidance, navigation, and air traffic control and non-aerospace areas such as image processing, oceanography autonomous vehicles and robotics, remote sensing, and biomedical research. The sensor network discipline also stand to benefit from the understanding of multi-object system and control framework. Read moreRead less
