Reports are cited in the area of Aeronautical Engineering. The coverage includes documents on the engineering and theoretical aspects of design, construction, evaluation, testing operation and performance of aircraft (including aircraft engines) and associated components, equipment and systems
Systemic propagation of delays in the air-transportation network
Tesis doctoral presentada por Pablo Fleurquin para optar al título de Doctor, en el Programa de Física del Departamento de Física de la Universitat de les Illes Balears, realizada en el IFISC bajo la dirección de José Javier Ramasco Sukia, Víctor Martinez Eguíluz y como ponente Maxi San Miguel Ruibal.[EN] The focus of this dissertation is to quantitative describe, analyze and model
a paradigmatic socio-technical complex system such as the air-transportation
system. The generation, propagation and eventual amplification of flight de-
lays involve a large number of interacting mechanisms. Such mechanisms can
be classified as internal or external to the air tra
c system. The basic internal
mechanisms include aircraft rotations (the di
erent flight legs that comprise an
aircraft itinerary), airport operations, passengers’ connections and crew rotation.
In addition, external factors, such as weather perturbations or security threats,
disturb the system performance and contribute to a high level of system-wide
congestion. Although this socio-technical system is driven by human decisions,
the intricacy of the interactions between all these elements calls for an analy-
sis of flight delays under the scope of Complex Systems theory. Complexity
is concerned with the emergence of collective behavior from the microscopic
interaction of the system elements. Several tools have been developed to tackle
complexity. Here we use Complex Networks theory and take a system-wide
perspective to broaden the understanding of delay propagation.Peer reviewe

Future Transportation
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with transportation activities account for approximately 20 percent of all carbon dioxide (co2) emissions globally, making the transportation sector a major contributor to the current global warming. This book focuses on the latest advances in technologies aiming at the sustainable future transportation of people and goods. A reduction in burning fossil fuel and technological transitions are the main approaches toward sustainable future transportation. Particular attention is given to automobile technological transitions, bike sharing systems, supply chain digitalization, and transport performance monitoring and optimization, among others
