Abstract
A runway capacity forecast system includes machine instructions stored in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, the machine instructions, when executed, causing a processor to access data items related to a runway of interest for a time horizon of interest, the data items comprising environment factors for the runway of interest and the time horizon of interest, flight operation factors, and aircraft performance factors for aircraft scheduled on the runway of interest and during the time horizon of interest; extract data elements from the data items; reformat the data elements as analyzable data elements and store the analyzable data elements in an analyzable data structure; apply a probabilistic model to selected ones of the analyzable data elements to provide a forecast runway capacity for the runway of interest during the time horizon of interest the first product; and using the forecast runway capacity, determine one or more impacts based on the forecast capacity.
