SIMULATION OF AN AIR-TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM,

Abstract

Constraints imposed by transition-area capacity and oceanic-area separation criteria increase operating costs for aircarriers. A simulated air-traffic control system was developed to relate these costs to increases in the annual traffic levels through 1975. The mathematical model and computer program developed for this purpose provide delay and diversion costs resulting from various traffic flows, transition-area capacity estimates, and oceanic-area separation criteria for the 1965-1975 period. These cost estimates provide a basis for analyzing proposed changes in the system. (Author)
