“…The success of sequencing algorithms largely depends on how the operation is actually performed. This paper is a continuation of the previous research by the authors [19,20] in the area of the problem of scheduling the streams of landing aircraft. These articles mainly analyzed the use of shortcuts, i.e., changes to the standard flight route, which are the primary technical means to achieve the planned sequence.…”

The most important directions in the field of sustainable development of air transport concern increasing the capacity of airports and improving the global civil aviation system, improving air traffic safety, and developing procedures to optimize the operation of the aviation system. An important area is environmental protection and measures to minimize the negative impact of civil aviation activities on the environment. Air traffic and the operation of airports generate adverse environmental effects, including greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and noise emissions. Due to the high intensity of aircraft maneuvers, the authors analyzed aircraft traffic in the area approaching the airport. It is essential to correctly line up for aircraft reporting from different entry points to the approach area to avoid waiting for landing. Misalignment of landing aircraft negatively impacts airport capacity, increases fuel consumption through more prolonged waiting times in space, and directly impacts air pollution. There are different ways to organize landing aircraft flows and other ways to merge these flows. The article aims to assess the method of combining the streams of landing aircraft and estimate the impact of such an organization on the increased fuel consumption of aircraft and thus on air pollution. The authors proposed a measure for assessing the quality of the landing queue, which was defined as the increase in flight time of aircraft in the approach area in relation to the nominal time, which was adopted as minimization. In order to obtain the results of research works, a model using a Petri net was developed, allowing for flexible mapping of concurrent processes and their effect analysis. Various methods of combining the streams of landing aircraft have been adopted: three-stage, two-stage, and single-stage. Then, simulation experiments were carried out, allowing the determination of whether the method of combining the streams of landing planes has an impact on the quality of the landing queue measured with the proposed index. The obtained results of the assessment can be used to estimate the increased fuel consumption of the aircraft.

“…Aviation is well known to be highly dependent on the weather and temporary weather conditions. The current meteorological situation is primarily important during take-off and landing procedures [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. The meteorological information and conditions influence air traffic management, the planning of airlines and airports’ operations, and the punctuality and safety of flight operations.…”

Meteorological conditions significantly affect air traffic safety and can also affect a pre-planned flight plan. Difficult meteorological conditions are particularly hazardous during take-off and landing procedures. Still, they can also cause disruptions to air traffic by causing, for example, delays to air traffic or diversion of aircraft to other airports. From the airlines’ point of view, such situations are not beneficial if flights are diverted to other airports due to reduced visibility at the airport caused by fog and haze. For flight operations, a popular navigation system with a precision approach is the ILS, which has several categories enabling an approach even in adverse meteorological conditions. However, not every airport has a high-category ILS, and setting up such navigation equipment is lengthy and costly. The main objective of this article is to analyze the impact of meteorological conditions, particularly visibility, on the possibility of performing flight procedures with different ILS categories. The study was designed to quantify the limitations associated with meteorological conditions with specific ILS equipment at a given airport. The research questions for this study include the following: What were the meteorological conditions in terms of visibility? What impact did the visibility parameter have on the performance of landing operations at the airport under study? Can an indication of the probability of stopping landing operations be important in recommendations for scheduling airline flights to avoid delays? Three airports were selected for the analysis: Warsaw Chopin Airport, Warsaw Modlin Mazowiecki Airport, and Krakow John Paul II Airport. The analysis was based on approximately 52,000 METAR dispatches in 2019 and 2022. The research indicated during which periods landing procedures were most frequently halted and calculated such a change with a different category of ILS. For the Kraków Airport, the probability of stopping landing procedures in any month was calculated, along with recommendations for flight schedule planning for this airport. The research results can be used to better plan airline flight schedules, avoiding hours with a high probability of reduced visibility, which may result in rerouting flights to another airport. Long-term low clouds and reduced visibility affect the safety of operations but also cause delays.

“…In the event that the primary supply goes into a non-operational state, it automatically switches to the standby power source. When supplying ICT systems, especially in critical infrastructure facilities [66][67][68], it may not be enough [69]. Therefore, the power supply from three independent sources is then used (e.g., primary power supply and two standby power supplies, as power supply from a separate power line and the use of a power generating unit) [70][71][72][73].…”

The Reliability and Exploitation Analysis Method of the ICT System Power Supply with the Use of Modelling Based on Rough Sets

The article describes a new approach to the reliability–exploitation analysis of the critical information and communications technology (ICT) system power supply. A classic approach based on statistical indicators and a new one founded on uncertainty modelling based on the rough set method is presented. The main advantage of the uncertainty modelling approach is the simplification of the calculations and the fact that, unlike statistical analysis, uncertainty modelling does not require complete information on the used data sets. An extensive study of world publications was carried out, proving that this is an entirely innovative approach to solving the problem of reliability and exploitation analysis. Calculations, analyses and syntheses are also exhibited in a specific example. A sample of the ICT system power supply was simulated, and the simulation results are shown. The simulations were prepared by one of the co-authors for the purposes of this article.
