Do air traffic flow problems interact-a preliminary analysis

Whether multiple, coincident traffic flow management (TFM) problems interact, i.e., whether unanticipated combination effects arise when multiple problems occur simultaneously, is investigated. The National Airspace System Performance Analysis Capability (NASPAC) simulation model is used. For the cases examined, it is observed (in the context of simulation modeling) that delays due to TFM congestion problems propagate through the system, but that the interaction effects of multiple problems are basically nil.<
