Abstract

Models are proposed to estimate the performance of Ground Delay Programs as air traffic management initiatives. We apply Random Forest and Gradient-Boosted Forest regression techniques within the context of Geographically Weighted Regression. We estimate both the mean and 90th percentile responses for two performance indicators: average arrival delay and the number of cancelled arrivals.
