The 1972 Los Angeles Basin Standard Air Traffic Model.
Abstract
The report describes the methodology used in the construction of a three-dimensional aircraft movement operating in the Los Angeles Basin Area. From data obtained, the Los Angeles Basin Air Traffic Model of 1972 was constructed. The model contains approximately 80% VFR flight operations, and represents a particular time period of nonpeak aircraft operations which occurred during a three-hour period on the 20th of August 1972. The purpose of the traffic sample is to develop a standard model to test future air traffic systems and equipment. Since most air traffic operation models are generally made from IFR-controlled operations, this is the first of a series of air traffic models that include both IFR and VFR operations.
