Models substitutius per a modelat de dades aeronàutiques
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-09-28)
Bachelor thesis
Open AccessTo make a simulation can take some hours or even days, therefore, is more efficient to design and execute a limited number of computer approximations to know the behaviour of the data and be able to get the rest of the ... -
Optimization on industrial problems focussing on multi-player strategies
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-07-26)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessAlgorithms (EA) are useful optimization methods for exploration of the search space, but they usually have slowness problems to exploit and converge to the minimum with accuracy. On the other hand, gradient based methods ... -
Runway lenght verification through simulation of take-off and landing operations
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2024-07-08)
Bachelor thesis
Open AccessThe following project involves the design of a software capable of simulating take-off and landing operations to verify runway length requirements. To design the software, different mathematical models are studied and ... -
Simulation of a TaxiBot operation for first person training
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-09-09)
Bachelor thesis
Open AccessThe TaxiBot is a semi-robotic electric vehicle capable of towing aircraft from the boarding gate at the terminal to a runway holding position. The TaxiBot is controlled by the pilot using the regular tiller for nose wheel ... -
Simulation of the ground movements and conflict detection
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-09-13)
Bachelor thesis
Open AccessContinuous growth of air traffic generates that available resources during periods of high activity cannot meet the demand of air traffic, which generates a lot of congestion. This not only affects the reduction of operational ... -
Solving the allocation problem of the airport parking stands
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2024-07-10)
Bachelor thesis
Open AccessThe stand allocation problem is a main problem in all airports and has to be solved every day without exception. The rapid increase in the air traffic and its continued growth during the last years has made this problem a ... -
