Rethinking Air Traffic Management

" summary

JFK shuts one long runway for four months and PASSUR combines government feeds with passive radar plus ADS‑B and TCAS feeds to build a live, historical database and predictive model that meters pushbacks and recommends optimal arrival/departure rates. Airlines start with arrival-time errors up to 10 minutes and 40% uncertainty; PASSUR reduces that to near zero, cuts taxi time, fuel and emissions, and yields savings the company estimates at >$100,000 per flight; the program is extended indefinitely.
