Abstract
<p align="LEFT">Undoubtedly air transport in today’s world wouldn’t be able to exist without any air traffic control service. As the air transport has been coming through major changes and it has been expanding, it is assumed that its volume will be doubled in the next 15 years. Air traffic control uses strictly organised procedures to ensure safe course of air operations. With the skies covered with more airplanes every year, new tools must be introduced to allow the controllers to manage this rising amount of flying aircraft and to keep the air transport safe. This paper provides a comprehensive and organized material, which describes the newest tools and systems used by air traffic control officers. It proposes improvements for further research and development of ATC tools.</p>
Highlights
To well understand the necessity of new systems, it is important to show how air traffic controllers work
Air traffic control is divided into Area Control (ACC), Approach Control (APP) and Tower Control (TWR)
The executive controller plays a key role in determining the sector capacity, as it is defined as a maximum number of aircraft that are allowed to enter an airspace during a given period of time together with allowing acceptable workload of the executive controller [1]
Summary
To well understand the necessity of new systems, it is important to show how air traffic controllers work. The executive controller communicates directly with pilots from the point they enter his sector until he hands them over to the sector He follows the aircraft on a radar screen and when it is necessary he issues clearances. The executive controller plays a key role in determining the sector capacity, as it is defined as a maximum number of aircraft that are allowed to enter an airspace during a given period of time together with allowing acceptable workload of the executive controller [1]. This is why the new tools to help controlling of air traffic flows are needed.
