Complexity in Air Traffic Management
Résumé
Air traffic Management Requirements : -Insure separation between aircraft. -Avoid costly manoeuvres and optionally optimize trajectories. -Insure trafic organization. Trends : -Separation delegated to aircraft. -Trajectory based air traffic management. -Introduction of decision support tools / automated conflict solvers. Workload : -Related to cognitive processes of human controllers. -Easy/Hard forecasting of conflict occurrence. -Monitoring is a non negligible part of the workload. -Relevant for a human-centric system. Complexity : -Related to traffic structure. -Measure of intrinsic disorder of a set of trajectories. -Increases with : sensitivity to uncertainties. interdependence of conflicts. -Relevant in an highly automated ATM system.
