An Empirical Evaluation of Transfer-of-Training of Two Flight Simulation Games
Aim. The objective of this study was to collect evidence of transfer-of-training to professional performance provided by two stand-alone PC-based flight games. Background. These realistic games, Falcon 4.0 (F-16 specific) and Microsoft Flight Simulator (ci ...
Sage Publications Inc2017Flight-Scheduling Optimization and Automation for AnadoluJet
AnadoluJet, a leading Turkish domestic airline carrier provides high-service, low-price flights to 28 locations within Turkey. Each winter and summer, AnadoluJet typically generates a new flight schedule. The company's primary scheduling concerns are aircr ...
2016Performance analysis of jump-gliding locomotion for miniature robotics
Dario Floreano, Mirko Kovac, Jean-Christophe Zufferey
Recent work suggests that jumping locomotion in combination with a gliding phase can be used as an effective mobility principle in robotics. Compared to pure jumping without a gliding phase, the potential benefits of hybrid jump-gliding locomotion includes ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2015Multi-Objective Airport Gate Assignment Problem in Planning and Operations
We consider the assignment of gates to arriving and departing flights at a large hub airport. This problem is highly complex even in planning stage when all flight arrivals and departures are assumed to be known precisely in advance. There are various cons ...
Wiley-Blackwell2014Integrated supply-demand models for the optimization of flexible transportation systems
This thesis investigates methodologies for improving the demand responsiveness of transportation systems through flexibility. The methodologies propose advances both in demand and supply models having a focus on supply-demand interactions. The demand side ...
EPFL2013Multiphase mixed-integer optimal control framework for aircraft conflict avoidance
This paper formulates the problem of aircraft conflict avoidance as a multiphase mixed-integer optimal control problem. In order to find optimal maneuvers, accurate models of aircraft nonlinear dynamics and flight envelop constraints are used. Wind forecas ...
2012Multi-Objective Airport Gate Assignment Problem
In this paper, we consider the gate assignment for a large airline at its hub airport. It is considered to be a highly complex problem with the possibility of application in both planning as well as operations mode. There are various considerations that ar ...
2011Application of Tactile Perception Enhancement
Surrounding environment is mainly perceived through sight and hearing. Our sense of touch is mostly dedicated to explore the surface of objects using hands and fingers. Tactile sensitivity of the body skin is rather limited in common life, however this rep ...
EPFL2010Tracking controllers for small UAVs with wind disturbances: Theory and flight results
This work outlines two approaches for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) performing surveillance with fixed cameras. Small UAVs present significant control challenges, due to relatively low-bandwidth actuation and significant disturbances due to wind. T ...
IEEE2008A 10-gram Vision-based Flying Robot
Dario Floreano, Jean-Daniel Nicoud, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Antoine Beyeler, Adam Klaptocz
We aim at developing ultralight autonomous microflyers capable of freely flying within houses or small built environments while avoiding collisions. Our latest prototype is a fixed-wing aircraft weighing a mere 10 g, flying around 1.5 m/s and carrying the ...
