A Concept of Use for an Initial Integrated Impact Assessment Capability

Abstract

This document describes a concept of use for an automated capability that can assess the impact on the National Airspace System (NAS) of multiple, interacting traffic management initiatives (TMIs). A prototype of an Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA) capability is being developed at The MITRE Corporations Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD). Today the IIA prototype models the effects of three specific types of TMIs: rerouting, miles in trail (MIT) restrictions, and altitude restrictions (whether dynamic orstatic, as in such documents as Standard Operating Procedures [SOPs]). Furthermore, it measures the impact of the proposed TMIs using primarily the metrics, sector volume and flight delay. In future builds, the IIA prototype is planned to model other TMIs, such as Ground Delay Programs (GDPs), and to incorporate other metrics as well.
