Automatization of air traffic control sector capacity indicators determination process (Автоматизація процесу визначення показників пропускної спроможності сектору обслуговування повітряного руху) MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND SCIENCE OF UKRAINE NATIONAL AVIATION UNIVERSITY Institute of Air Navigation Air Navigation Systems Department MASTER`S DEGREE THESIS Completed by: O.Babii Supervisor: O.Luppo

Purpose The development of the program for capacity indicators determination Tasks to analyze the principle of ATC sector capacity determination and the existed methodologies for capacity estimation and assessment; to develop an algorithm for the program modeling and create the program; to define the capacity indicators of the particular ATC sector with the help of developed program. 2

Capacity definition normative capacity maximum allowable capacity 3 Formulas that determine the number of aircraft that are provided with air traffic control service and the number of aircraft N, that are provided with air traffic control service in the ATC sector simultaneously: The values and N that are within K wrl = 0,55-0,64 are taken to calculate the normative capacity of ATC sectors. The values and N that are within K wrl = 0,65-0,7 are taken to calculate the maximum allowable capacity of ATC sectors., where

Assessment of capacity CAPAN – Capacity Analyzer Tool The blue curve - the hourly rates of entry in the sector The red curve - the executive controller workload The green curve - the planning controller workload 4 The activity of the particular sector during the 24 hour time period

5 The algorithm of the developed program No Display the aircraft call sign; the enter point; time of zone entrance; Calculate the time of each route point overfly Define number of aircraft in zone Aircraft is in zone Add aircraft to capacity analysis Yes If flight plan has a mistake Generate the warning No Yes Load a sector data; Obtain information from the current flight plan Begin End

Program application Input data (in.txt format): 6 Flight plan data ATC sector data

Program interface (after the data loading) 7

Results of simulation The blue curve - the hourly rates of entry in the sector (intensity) The orange curve - the number of aircraft in sector simultaneously (density) The red line - the capacity maximum allowable value 8

9 Conclusions The result of the Master`s Thesis performance is the developed program the aim of which is to determine an ATC sector capacity indicators. Benefits of this program: multiplatform structure; possibility to import the files with user`s own data, In future it may be extended in the following way: the addition of workload and conflict analysis functions; globalization; the improving of data entry system on the stage of the flight plan filling.

Recommendations analyzing the flight plan for a certain period of time the designed program allow to determine the capacity indicators for a definite real/new designed ATC sector; the program may be a good alternative to the complex programs (that are not usually in free access); the program may be used in the educational process to study the capacity indicators determination process. 11
