Evaluation of air traffic complexity metrics using neural networks and sector status

چکیده
This paper presents an original method to evaluate air traffic complexity metrics. Several complexity indicators, found in the litterature, were implemented and computed, using recorded radar data as input. A principal component analysis (PCA) provides some results on the correlations between these indicators. Neural networks are then used to find a relationship between complexity indicators and the actual sector configurations. Assuming that the decisions to group or split sectors are somewhat related to the controllers workload, this method allows to identify which types of complexity indicators are significantly related to the actual workload.

Airspace configuration using air traffic complexity metrics
Flow regulation is a critical process in air traffic management, ensuring that the incoming traffic does not exceed the ability of air traffic controllers to handle it safely and efficiently. Currently, the european Flow Management Positions (FMP) use flight counts and sector capacities to assess the traffic load and build predicted opening schemes. These schemes, made of predefined airspace co...
