An Approach for the Design of an Air Traffic Control System.

Abstract

Sophisticated air traffic control systems (ATCS) are becoming more and more urgently needed to accommodate increasing air traffic service demands and to resolve the various problems caused by such demands. The goals of ATCS and the interrelations between them are delineated. A generalized approach for the ATCS design is proposed so that further improvements on the ATCS is possible by more precisely modeling the craft capability, adding the new facilities in airports, in aircrafts and in control towers, and providing more information about many uncertain factors, such as noises, errors, etc. into consideration. Purifying the data of aircrafts and generating crafts-situation-regulation commands are two major information processings done by ATCS, from which most of the goals of ATCS are to be achieved.
