Annual Workshop of Automatic Control and Dynamic Optimization Society

Annual Workshop of Automatic Control and Dynamic Optimization Society
(with Technical Sponsorship from IEEE AESS Bangalore Chapter)
Air Traffic Modelling and Aviation Safety
27- 28 September 2019
Auditorium Department of Aerospace Engineering,
Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore-12
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this workshop is to make the audience aware of the current protocols and regulations in place for operational safety of Indian aviation. However, since it is increasingly becoming inadequate to handle the exponential growth of the air traffic over recent years, this will be followed by exposing the audience with some scientific modelling and optimization tools to handle this problem.
