Hello,
The IEEE Control Systems Society invites you to join us at this presentation about advanced controls:
Title: Surface Operation Automation Research (SOAR) — Airport Surface Trajectory-Based Operations
Speaker: Dr. Victor Cheng, Optimal Synthesis Inc.
Date: Wednesday, 20 June 2012
Place: Intersil Corp., 1001 Murphy Ranch Road, Milpitas, CA 95035 (Building 3, Stanford Room)
Cost: Free, open to the public
Registration and directions: http://sites.ieee.org/scv-css
Agenda:
6:30pm: light snacks and networking
7:00 – 7:50pm: presentation
7:50 – 8:00pm: Q&A
8:00pm: Adjourn
Abstract
Optimal Synthesis Inc. (OSI) has for over a decade been developing advanced concepts and technologies to enhance the efficiency of airport surface operations. Surface Operation Automation Research (SOAR) represents a collection of research activities undertaken by OSI to develop such concepts and technologies based on automation to deliver more-precisecontrol of aircraft operations. This presentation will provide an overview of the SOAR activities, including the development of tower automation and flight-deck automation that leverage on each other’s capability to collaboratively enable safe and efficient surface operations. The automation functions include trajectory planning, communications, execution, monitoring, and conflict detection and resolution. Although much of the research has been performed under NASA sponsorship, the presentation will cover only the OSI research activities, but not NASA’s much more far-reaching programs and research.
Speaker Biography:
Victor H. L. Cheng received the B.S. degree in Computer and Systems Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in EECS from University of California, Berkeley. Since 1997 he has been with Optimal Synthesis Inc. and is currently Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of the company. Previously he had been with TRW Technology Research Center, Integrated Systems Inc., and NASA Ames Research Center. His research interests include guidance and control, and air traffic management. Dr. Cheng is currently serving on the AIAA Program Committee on Aerospace Traffic Management, and had previously served on the AIAA Technical Committee on Guidance, Navigation, and Control, and the AHS Technical Committee on Avionics and Systems. He is an AIAA Associate Fellow, and was the recipient of the 1976 IEEE Charles LeGeyt Fortescue Fellowship, four NASA Group Achievement Awards, and an Engineer of the Year award from the AIAA San Francisco Section.
