Method and system to predict airport capacity, landing direction, landing runway and runways available

摘要

The present invention provides a method and system for automatically predicting the airport capacity (i.e., arrival capacity—the number of aircraft that can land in a given amount of time or landing rate), the landing direction (the direction of the landing runways, i.e., north, south, east or west), the landing runway (the specific runway on which the aircraft is predicted to land) for a set of specified aircraft, during a specified time period, at a specified airport, based upon consideration of available aviation data regarding the weather, landings runways, airport configuration, departures, etc., to achieve a more accurate airport capacity, landing direction and landing runway prediction.
