CM-0103-A — Automated Support for Traffic Complexity Assessment

Automated tools continuously monitor sector demand and evaluate traffic complexity (by applying predefined complexity metrics) according to a predetermined qualitative scale. Forecast complexity coupled with demand enables ATFCM to take timely action to adjust capacity, or demand profiles through various means, in collaboration with ATC and airspace users.

Rationale
Complexity prediction for: Local Network Management. Analysing aircraft trajectories using SBT/RBT and other demand information, coupled with the use of validated complexity metrics, allows prediction of changes in traffic complexity and potential overload situations, allowing mitigation strategies to be applied. Such ability will support decision making processes such as:
- Determine the optimum organization of ATC sectors (including adjustment of sector AOR);
- Apply dynamic ATM constrains ( on traffic flows (e.g. Level Cap)
- Modify individual trajectories by route, level or timing
- Local Traffic Management based on Complexity assessment is seen as a tool supported process to simplify/optimize the ATM situation through application of STAM so that separation provision can be efficiently applied by human intervention in a productive manner.
