A Dynamic I/O Model for TRACON Traffic Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work investigates the TRACON flow management around a major airport. Aircraft flows are analyzed through a study of TRACON trajectories records. Rerouting and queuing processes are highlighted and airport characteristics are shown as function of the number of planes in the TRACON. Then, a simple input-output TRACON queuing and landing model is proposed. This model is calibrated and validated using available TRACON data. It reproduces the same phenomenon as the real system. This model is used to show the impact of limiting the number of aircrafts in the TRACON. A limited number of aircraft does not increase delays but reduces the controller’s workload and increases safety.

Airspace Complexity and its Application in Air Traffic Management
Predicted growth in air traffic and the desire for more user preferred routes in the National Airspace System (NAS) will impose additional demand on air traffic control and management systems. This demand can be met by alternate airspace configurations, modified traffic patterns, and staff reassignment. There is a need to understand the effect of changing airspace configurations and traffic pat...

Air traffic operations in a Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON), the airspace surrounding a busy commercial airport, are quite dynamic. As arrival flights approach their landing runways, air traffic controllers apply speed, altitude, and heading directives to effect safe and orderly merging of converging air traffic flows. In some simulation models involving air traffic movement, a simplif...
