摘要: |
Accurate predictions of en route sector capacity are vital when analyzing the benefits of proposed new air traffic management decision-support tools or new airspace designs. Controller workload is the main determinant of sector capacity. The report describes a new workload-based capacity model that improves upon the Federal Aviation Administration's current monitor Alert capacity model. Analysts often use Monitor Alert sector capacities in evaluating the benefits of decision-support aids or space designs. However, Monitor Alert, which was designed to warn controllers of possible sector overload, sets sector capacity limits based solely on hand-off workload and fixed procedural constraints. It ignores the effects of conflict workload and recurring workload (from activities such as monitoring, vectoring, spacing, and metering). Each workload type varies differently as traffic counts and airspace design are changed. When used for benefits analysis, Monitor Alert's concentration on single workload type can lead to erroneous conclusions. |
