Abstract: In one aspect, an electronic active queue management system (AQMS) may be used to identify processing capacity of entry points and quantifiable amounts of congestion at a land port of entry (LPOE) based on one or more real-time measurements of traffic flow. Based on the amount(s) of congestion, the AQMS may dynamically manage arrival times at the LPOE through one or more lanes of the LPOE, controlling wait times in the queue system. As part of managing arrival times at the LPOE, the AQMS can schedule arrival times for vehicles and/or people at the dedicated lane of the LPOE. The arrivals may be scheduled through a dedicated AQMS app, through a web-based interface, and/or through telephone text messaging. Present principles may also be used for queue management at airports, concerts, sporting events, etc.

Abstract: A system is described. The system predicts a landing runway for the aircraft. The landing runway is predicted using geometry and parameters which describe the position of the aircraft in space. The parameters include track alignment, vector alignment, vertical alignment, in-approach geometry, and in-flight plan. The parameters are combined to determine runway alignment scores for each runway. The runway alignment scores indicate how well the aircraft is aligned with the runways. The parameters are not equal in their contribution to the decision-making process and need to be weighted. The parameters are normalized, weighted, and summed to determine the runway alignment score.
