A Los Angeles Basin 1100 Aircraft Traffic Model,

Abstract

This document describes a static model of air traffic in the Los Angeles basin in the 1995 time frame. The model is a 'snapshot' of a 'peak' instant in 1995, i.e., an instant when the greatest number of aircraft are predicted to be seen at any time in 1995 in the Los Angeles basin. Derived from an earlier model, it contains 1105 instantaneously airborne aircraft. Position, velocity, and other relevant descriptors of each aircraft are provided. The model reflects realistic constraints such as topography, expected airspace restrictions, and aircraft performance characteristics. The total number of aircraft predicted in the model is obtained on the basis of historical data and air traffic projections by the Federal Aviation Administration for the Los Angeles basin. (Author)
