Abstract
AbstractIn the enroute air traffic control which controls the aircraft flying between airports, the broad area of airspace is divided into units called sectors. This paper describes the air traffic control simulation experiments considering the function expansion project of the Tokyo International Airport and discusses the evaluation of the airspace design for the enroute air traffic control sectors.First, the traffic volume after the function expansion is estimated. The result is compared to the already obtained result of experiments for the sector traffic capacity estimation in the present airspace. The sector for which the airspace redesign is needed is pointed out.Next, based on the evaluation criteria considering the control process, three trial plans (A, B, and C) for the airspace design are presented and examined by experiments. Based on the results of evaluation, the fourth trial plan (D) is presented, including a new control technique. It is shown that, by using that technique, the average traffic volume in the busiest hours anticipated after the function expansion can be controlled smoothly.
