New submissions to the thesis/dissertation collections are added automatically as they are received from the Graduate School. Currently, the Graduate School deposits all theses and dissertations from a given semester after the official graduation date. This means that there may be up to a 4 month delay in the appearance of a given thesis/dissertation in DRUM.

More information is available at Theses and Dissertations at University of Maryland Libraries.

    REAL-TIME CONTROL MODEL IN AIRLINE DELAY MANAGEMENT
    (2014) Dong, Han; Schonfeld, Paul M; Civil Engineering; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    The real-time control in airport management can reduce delay cost and alleviate delay propagation in an airline network. In this study, a model is developed to determine holding decisions and departure policies to the ready departure flights, which have transfer passengers from late arrival flights. Optimization with downstream coordination (ODC) and optimization without downstream coordination (ONDC) are presented in the model. The results show that ODC and ONDC could reduce system total cost when flights are delayed, and ODC performs better than ONDC. The sensitivity analysis of the total cost to various inputs is also discussed. The results show that the system total cost varies with holding time, slack time, number of transfer passengers and headway.
