“…All AFP05 instances had similar average (32-38 minutes) and maximum delays (165-201 minutes) but varied in level of convective activity. A MITRE prototype, En Route Flow Planning Tool (EFPT), 9 was used in a fast-time data collection mode to better classify the level of impacts from the convective weather. EFPT identified twice the percentage of deviations in the area of interest for August 9 than June 1.…”

The Collaborative Trajectory Options Program (CTOP) is a new type of Traffic Management Initiative (TMI) scheduled for initial implementation in March 2014. As part of a larger effort to enable quantification of the post-implementation impacts of CTOP on Traffic Flow Management (TFM), it is necessary to establish new data collection methods and baseline performance metrics. This paper describes the development and application of one of these new data collection methods: the ability to identify and classify flights routingout of current Airspace Flow Programs (AFPs). A route-out identification algorithm was developed to quickly generate route-out datasets using a combination of Traffic Flow Management System (TFMS) Aggregate Demand List (ADL), AFP Advisory, and Track Messages (TZ). The route-out identification algorithm was applied to all instances of AFP05 and AFP08 during 2012 to determine the routing behavior of controlled flights. Preliminary observations from the route-out dataset are discussed as well as the applicability of the observations to future CTOP assessments. The final results of this analysis are expected to be used as input to a set of fast-time benefit estimation simulations and ultimately a planned CTOP post-implementation performance assessment during 2014.

“…Capabilities are being developed to help generate these local route changes. [12][13][14] For route changes affecting more than one facility, procedures may specify when additional coordination is needed or when the ATCSCC should be involved. Capabilities to facilitate such multi-facility route changes should be developed.…”

This paper explores how applying a basic management science principle to air traffic management operations can lead to revised roles and responsibilities that allow operations to be handled by the most appropriate participants. Previous research that applied the principle to local departure and arrival management is reviewed; the application is then expanded to regional and national air traffic management. The paper examines the operational and engineering implications of the resulting concept, contrasted with current operations and tools, and identifies where additional research or development is needed. Examples are provided that illustrate the resulting activities at the various air traffic management facilities across a broad range of look-ahead timeframes.

“…: Airspace Flow Program), or ting flights pre-departure in order to avoid congested or weather impacted areas. They tend to be conservative due to high level of uncertainty associated with long-range (2-6h) weather and traffic forecasts [2]. On the other hand, when flights are already in the air, tactical control decisions are usually taken more reactively by air traffic controllers based on their experience (which can lead to very different outcomes depending on the controller's skills).…”

“…It is a consensus that the development of analytics tools that take advantage of this big data potential can significantly contribute to improve future air traffic operations. This can be done especially through post-event analysis that: (1) monitors system behavior, identifies successful practices and inefficiencies and provides guidance in offline system adjustments or (2) generates realistic inputs and predictive capabilities to feed more comprehensive air traffic flow management models and enable their practical implementation for real time decision support.…”

The Air Traffic Management System is characterized by a highly technological environment in which massive amounts of data are generated daily from multiple sources as planning/operations occur. The development of analytics tools that tap into this big data potential can significantly contribute to improve future operations through two primary ways: post-event analysis of operational performance that identifies inefficiencies and provides guidance in offline system adjustments and characterization of actual system behavior that feeds data-driven models for real time decision support. This work contributes to these goals by developing a comprehensive data mining framework for characterization of air traffic flows based on recorded radar tracks. A density-based clustering algorithm is used to identify major flight trajectory patterns in the airspace. A posterior ensemble-based classification scheme enables the assignment of flight trajectories from datasets of any size to the learned patterns and detects non-conforming behaviors. Finally, operational modes of airspace use can be extracted based on an innovative compact representation of daily air traffic flows. In order to illustrate the outcomes and potential applications of the proposed framework, an assessment of air traffic control operations in the transition/terminal airspace was performed for the New York Metro region. We identified major nominal and rerouting patterns for weather avoidance, assessed the performance of tactical operations in a daily basis and evaluated how capacity constraints imposed by convective weather impact system behavior in aggregate and route based perspectives.
