The civil aviation industry is experiencing significant growth in air traffic density within terminal areas, necessitating improved air traffic efficiency. In China’s pursuit of world-class airport clusters, operational complexities arise due t...
Integrated arrival–departure and surface scheduling (IADS) is a critical research task in next-generation air traffic management that aims to harmonize the complex and interrelated processes of airspace and airport operations in the Metroplex....
Extreme precipitation has become more frequent and intense with time and space. Infrastructure design tools such as Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves still rely on historical precipitation and stationary assumptions, risking current and futur...
The development of a Multiple Airport Region (MAR) could lead to fierce competition. To evaluate the level of homogenization between airports in a MAR, a homogenization evaluation method based on multi-dimensional indicators was developed. A multi-di...

In this paper we report on the collection of fine (PM1) and ultrafine (PM0.1), or nanoparticulate, carbonaceous materials using thermophoretic precipitation onto silicon monoxide/formvar-coated 3 mm grids which were examined in the transmission elect...
In this study, our aim is to diagnose how two quasi-linear convective systems (QLCS) are organized so one can determine the possible role of the city of Chicago, IL, USA, in modifying convective precipitation systems. In this Part I of a two-part stu...
Over time, the rapid expansion of civil aviation infrastructure has led to the establishment of multi-airport systems (MASs) or Metroplex, where airports situated in close proximity form interconnected networks. Given that individual airport capaciti...
Airport congestion in metropolitan clusters (Metroplex systems) poses significant challenges, particularly when capacity reductions occur due to adverse weather conditions. This study introduces a two-stage robust optimization model aimed at improvin...
The Metroplex Overflight Noise Analysis (MONA) project seeks to measure, analyze, and archive the ground noise generated by aircraft overflights and to provide accurate and actionable data for a variety of different purposes. On the one hand, experim...
Global urbanization is rapidly changing the landscape for wildlife species that must learn to persist in declining wild spacing, adapt, or risk extinction. Many mesopredators have successfully exploited urban niches, and research on these species in...
In the United States, pathogens are the leading cause for rivers and streams to exceed water quality standards. The Spatially Explicit Load Enrichment Calculation Tool (SELECT) was developed to estimate bacterially contaminated water bodies based on...
The terminal maneuvering area (TMA) serves as a critical transition zone between upper enroute airways and airports, representing one of the most complex regions for managing high volumes of arrival and departure traffic. This paper presents the mult...
While rainfall occurs for several reasons, climate change and urbanization influence its frequency and geographical disparities. Although recent research suggests that urbanization may lead to increased rainfall, insights into how urbanization can tr...
This study calibrates an affordable, solar-powered LoRaWAN air quality monitoring prototype using the research-grade Palas Fidas Frog sensor. Motivated by the need for sustainable air quality monitoring in smart city initiatives, this work integrates...
As atmospheric CO2 emissions and the trend of urbanization both increase, the ability to accurately assess the CO2 budget from urban environments becomes more important for effective CO2 mitigation efforts. This task can be difficult for complex area...
The goal of this study is to describe a design architecture for a self-powered IoT (Internet of Things) sensor network that is currently being deployed at various locations throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex to measure and report on Particula...
Disasters have different shapes, and one of them is sudden landslides, which can put the safety of highway users at risk and result in crucial economic damage. Along with the risk of human losses, each day a highway malfunctions causes high expenses...
