Air traffic flow management is the key to evaluate airspace capacity reasonably and accurately. Based on the flight features of terminal route intersection, this paper builds a mathematical model for scattered flight of departure aircraft, and then evaluates the terminal capacity based on this model. By combining data from Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and flight schedule with the model, an example-runway 02R of Guangzhou Baiyun airport terminal was given to show the effectiveness of the proposed model.

The air transportation domain faces issues in air traffic congestion which leads to delays affecting a network of flights. As stakeholders strive to address such issue by applying air traffic flow management (ATFM) actions, there exists an apparent divide in the solution objective and perspectives. In the extant literature, solution approaches involving ATFM actions are often framed from the perspective of only one stakeholder to another. Such a scheme does not comprehensively cover the overall goal of the stakeholders, thus, provides inadequate, even conflicting, solutions. Therefore, this paper proposes an integer linear programming model for a rerouting problem that satisfactorily incorporates the individual interests of stakeholders (i.e., airport management, airline sector, air traffic management) in the commercial aviation industry and the common goal of ensuring safety in flight operations. The proposed model is designed to tactically select an alternate route when the primary route is constrained due to uncertainties such as inclement weather in a post-departure scenario. A hypothetical case study involving multiple destinations and alternate routes is carried out to illustrate the validity of the model. A Demo version of Lingo software is used to run the proposed model. Notable computational results show significant differences of selected routes as individual system interests are taken into isolation compared to when the general, collaborative model is implemented. In other words, the proposed model is able to show that preferences in alternate routes do vary with the individual interests of stakeholders, more so with the integration of the collaborative decision among stakeholders. Therefore, this research work provides a groundwork to a more comprehensive take of managing air traffic scenario involving all phases of flights. This is realized by providing a proof that significant shifts of decision solutions occur when the overall goal of stakeholders is considered rather than taking their individual interests into isolation.

This chapter charts Brazil’s participation and strategy in dealing with Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM). First a review of ATFM concepts is provided, where the demand and capacity balancing problem is defined. Afterwards the Brazilian air traffic scenario is laid out and a short history is presented. Finally, the SYNCROMAX system architecture is presented as defined for it’s first implementation phase. Internal details to the system are given and finally current directions indicate a higher level of decision making tools required in the future, in order to face the growing air navigation requirements.
