- Description
- Recovery This notice is provided for information purposes only. NASA LaRCintends to issue a fixed-price contract to George Mason University entitled MetroplexOptimization Model Expansion and Analysis. The contract will be funded by the AmericanReinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA). This award results from a competitive selectionunder the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters released NASAResearch Announcement (NRA) for foundational research in support of the AeronauticsResearch Mission Directorate (ARMD), entitled 'Research Opportunities in Aeronautics(ROA) 2009 under NNH09ZEA001N, Amendment 1, NextGen Airportal Project. TheNextGen-Airportal Project works in close collaboration with the NextGen-Airspace Projectto conduct airspace and Airportal foundational research and discipline-based technology. The NextGen-Airportal project focuses on NASAs technical expertise and world-classfacilities to enable the highest possible efficiency in the use of gates, taxiways,runways, metroplex (a group of two or more adjacent airports whose arrival and departureoperations are highly interdependent) airspace and other Airportal resources. TheNextGen-Airportal project is researching, developing, demonstrating, and validatingoperational concepts, technologies, tools, and operational procedures designed tomaximize capacity and throughput (the number of arriving and departingpassengers/aircraft) in the Airportal environment while enabling associated elements ofthe Next Generation Air Transportation System as defined by the Joint Planning andDevelopment Office. NextGen-Airportal Project research focus areas are the following:Safe and Efficient Surface Operations (SESO), Coordinated Arrival and DepartureOperations Management (CADOM), and Airportal and Metroplex Integration (AMI). Theresearch focus area for this contract is AMI and will expand existing modeling andoptimization capabilities in order to be able to predict changes in scheduling patternsand throughput at major Metroplex airports when there are changes in costs, passengerdemand, and competition. The methodologies developed through this research will provideNASA, FAA, and industry an analytical basis for investigating aircraft performancerequirements (e.g. economies-of-scale in seat-size) and policies related to airportcapacity, schedules planning, slot allocation, and safety. The referenced solicitationis a broad agency announcement as specified in FAR 35.016 and NFS 1835.016. Additionalinformation regarding the 2009 ROA solicitation can be found athttp://nspires.nasaprs.com/external/solicitations/summary.do?method =init&solId={8AA62753-0F6B-3791-4A43-3DEF562FA257}&path=open (ROA-2009 CompleteSolicitation as of November 24, 2009). This announcement will not result in a Request for Proposal; this announcement is forinformational purposes only. All questions should be submitted to the point of contact contained herein in writing viae-mail to the following address: drena.j.mcintosh@nasa.gov
