Air Traffic Management Systems

About Us
The U.S. DOT Volpe Center’s Air Traffic Management Systems Division applies its expertise in information technology and operations research to enhance the capacity, safety, and security of the national airspace system.
We develop innovative concepts to address existing and anticipated traffic flow issues and design decision-support tools to assess those concepts.
Our team develops and maintains technologies to help FAA, NASA, and others enhance the operational capabilities of existing air traffic management systems and procedures.

Jason Glaneuski
Chief
Jason Glaneuski is chief of the Air Traffic Management Systems Division at the U.S. DOT Volpe Center in Cambridge, MA. His Division applies information technology and operations research disciplines to enhance the capacity, safety, and security of the National Airspace System. A key component of this work is developing concepts and designing automated decision-support tools and capabilities that provide solutions to existing and anticipated traffic flow issues. Glaneuski has experience both performing and managing technical work in the areas of traffic flow management (TFM), time-based flow management (TBFM), and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) sense and avoid (SAA), among others. Before joining the U.S. DOT Volpe Center in 2001, he provided analytical support for the FAA Free Flight Program Office in Washington, D.C. Glaneuski earned a B.S. in Aviation Management and Flight Operations from Daniel Webster College (Nashua, NH) and has a master’s degree in computer science from Boston University (Boston, MA). He is a certified private pilot.
