Analysis, Optimization, and Control of Air Traffic System
This special issue belongs to the section "Transportation and Future Mobility".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Safety and efficiency are the two main goals of the modern civil aviation industry. To this end, the analysis, optimization, and control of air traffic systems are of critical importance to improve both the safety and efficiency of civil aviation. Large numbers of flighting data are generated every day, in every aircraft and every airport, etc. Recent advances in data science and simulation modeling can potentially provide useful tools for future air traffic systems. By overcoming the shortcomings of traditional methodologies, big data mining will possibly handle the complexity and uncertainty of air traffic systems.
This Special Issue deals with data mining and modeling in the analysis, optimization, and control of air traffic systems. Development and demonstration of cutting-edge data mining methods are particularly welcomed, especially for the purpose of (but not limited to) trajectory, air traffic flow, accident sources, etc.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
