Modeling and Analysis of Air Traffic Control Voice Communication Channel Loading.

Abstract

The report describes an effort to analyze and model by means of a nonreal-time simulation programming language, in this case GPSS, some of the characteristics of an air traffic control (ATC) air/ground/air voice communications channel. The report describes the functional entities or parameters. Furthermore, a comparison is made between the modeling outputs and real field derived measures of system output or performance. The conclusions are that this type of modeling and analysis can be a powerful and efficient tool for ATC simulation and system analysis provided that the model parameters adequately coincide with real system parameters and that real operational data are used to quantify the dependent and independent variables in the model.
