Traffic Management System

In many airports and air markets, congestion problems & weather are becoming more and more severe. To keep Air Traffic Control (ATC) against the overload of Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) activity, attempts to anticipate and prevent the resulting overload and limit the delays. A delay in the arrival of the flight (so-called congestion) occurs when the traffic expects to surpass the arrival and departure capacity of the airport or the airsector capacity. There is a very extensive over general reasoning to be considered in this area. Generally speaking, most of the references found in the literature published a few years ago refer to the simplest versions, those that do not take airsector into account. This happens because the research was first done in the USA only, where traffic issues basicallylimited to the airports congestion. In the paper we present a comprehensive survey of the key optimization models of literature.

Traffic Management System

Today’s air traffic management system is not expected to scale to the projected increase in traffic over the next two decades. Enhancing collaboration between the controllers and the users of the airspace could lessen the impact of the resulting air traffic flow problems. The authors summarize a new concept that has been proposed for collaborative air traffic flow management, the problems it is meant to address, and our approach to evaluating the concept. The authors present their initial simulation design and experimental results, using several simple route selection strategies and traffic flow management approaches. Though their model is still in an early stage of development, these results have revealed interesting properties of the proposed concept that will guide their continued development, refinement of the model, and possibly influence other studies of traffic management elsewhere. Finally, they conclude with the challenges of validating the proposed concept through simulation and future work.

Reverse Situation

The situation today can be described as very frustrating for a variety of reasons. Air traffic flow-management (ATFM) has dominated the scene for many years since its conception in 1980. At that time, the principles of ATFM were directed at ensuring that temporary or isolated sector overloads could be handled by ATC and only when broad, prolonged overloads were expected was ATFM activated. Today, we have the reverse situation, where ATFM is active throughout 16 h or more during each day. The system as such was never intended or planned to cope with such a burden and the results are seen in a variety of forms, including departure delays as shown in Fig. 1.

Traffic Flow Management

Traffic Flow Management (TFM) functions to minimize airspace congestion and maximize safety and efficiency. TFM personnel at the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration use Traffic Situation Display (TSD) software to observe air traffic and weather systems and issue strategic congestion-mitigation initiatives to Air Traffic Control facilities. Since its initial deployment, the TSD has been augmented by many groups of developers. This distributed process has led to an inconsistent interface that does not always adhere to best usability practices, especially because during the initial stages of development there was little human factors involvement. This can have a detrimental effect on new users learning the interface and also may make experienced users more likely to make errors. We developed a style guide for an operational Air Traffic Management tool, and a companion consistency assessment, to help developers (a) adhere to usability principles for future software expansions and (b) bring older portions of the interface into compliance with user-centered design. We discuss the process of style guide development—including the unique aspects of the TFM user population and application domain and their implications for creating a style guide for TFM software—and the applicability of our guide beyond the TSD tool.

Using Data

Abstract Air traffic flow management is one of the most challenging work systems in the world. The issue of aircraft traffic arrangement to prevent interference and flight delays is one of the most important issues in the field of air traffic flow management. In most researches in this field, incoming or outgoing flights are usually dealt with separately and attempts have been made to provide solutions using data mining methods, mathematical problem solving, etc.‌ To solve the problem in this paper, to select the best aircraft ready for operation (landing or takeoff), we use the ICA colonial competition algorithm, which allows selecting aircraft for incoming or outgoing flights, according to various parameters. In designing the system, an attempt has been made to make the symbols more effective in flight, to give proper weight, and to optimize the selection of colonizers according to the lower cost. To evaluate the proposed method, flight data of Mashhad airport were used for testing. The results of the system test indicate better choices for landing or flying aircraft and the acceptable performance of the colonial competition algorithm compared to the latest work done to solve the flights landing and take off sequence problem as an innovative algorithm.

Traffic Flow Management

For the travelling public in the late eighties and early nineties, the most disturbing characteristic of air travel must be delays. In Europe, this is certainly the case. These delays not only cause much inconvenience to the air travellers but also generate high costs for the aircraft operators. To a large extent, these delays are due to an imbalance between the air traffic demand and the capacity of the present Air Traffic Control (ATC) system in Europe.

Decision Making Processes

As air traffic continues to increase, it will be increasingly important to maximize use of available capacity. Traffic management coordinators explicitly incorporate contingency planning into their decision-making processes, but current Traffic Flow Management (TFM) tools provide limited support for such contingency planning. This paper describes an effort to explicitly support contingency planning in TFM, allowing automation to better align with the human’s approach to the situation. We propose a modeling framework and report on initial operational feedback indicating that our modeling framework captures the essence of TFM workflow.
