This report documents research performed by Purdue University under subcontract to the George Mason University (GMU) for the Metroplex Operations effort sponsored by NASA's Airportal Project. Purdue University conducted two tasks in support of the larger efforts led by GMU: a) a literature review on metroplex operations followed by identification and analysis of metroplex dependencies, and b) the analysis of impacts of metroplex operations on the larger U.S. domestic airline service network. The tasks are linked in that the ultimate goal is an understanding of the role of dependencies among airports in a metroplex in causing delays both locally and network-wide. The Purdue team has formulated a system-of-systems framework to analyze metroplex dependencies (including simple metrics to quantify them) and develop compact models to predict delays based on network structure. These metrics and models were developed to provide insights for planners to formulate tailored policies and operational strategies that streamline metroplex operations and mitigate delays and congestion.
