Tiltrotor/RIA Hypersonic Helicopter Subsonic GA / Corporate Supersonic The Role of Aerospace Technology in the Transportation DSM NAS Metrics Travel time Economic benefits Noise Traffic densities Energy use
Questions to be Answered with the Decision Support Model • Reduce the travel time from door-to-destination by n percent • What price for aerospace technology x is needed to achieve y(%)increase in air transportation demand? • Use the integrated transportation systems model to investigate what aerospace technologies are needed to achieve the goal • What is the impact of aerospace technology x in the fuel, energy consumption and the environment?
Person-trips per Year per Household Years After High School Annual Household Income ($) Trip Demand Generation Given: Socio-economic characteristics for each county (for all states) Predict: a) Number of trips produced per household/year for various income levels b) Trips attracted to a county Use: Trip rate tables
Intercity Trip are Influenced by Income and Trip Purpose Data: ATS 1995 Percent Travelers by Air (%) High Income Medium Income Low Income One-Way Trip Distance (miles)

Flight Trajectory Aircraft Model Airbus A320 Jacksonville - Miami Flight trajectory module employs the Eurocontrol’s BADA model
Concluding Remarks • An integrated transportation model has been developed • The model can be used in the evaluation of future aerospace technologies • The model is flexible enough to incorporate new assumptions and models developed elsewhere • National-level environmental impacts require a model capable of expressing spatial demand and supply patterns (I.e., equivalent to FEM/CFD techniques used in aerospace)
