Abstract

The current air traffic flow management (ATFM) situation and the forecast growth, imply that the handling of capacity-demand imbalance situations is, and will continue to be, one of the main ATM problems. To mitigate these imbalances in the air sector, some ATFM initiatives such as the Ground Delay program the airspace flow program (AFP) has been designed. By assigning delays on ground at the departure airports to certain trajectories (4DT), an extra decision variable is introduced in the capacity-balance problem to tackle the air traffic control workload while improving the airside capacity. This paper presents a Decision Support System (DSS) to deal with an efficient ground delay configuration for the future ATM system based on 4DT, in which a Causal Discrete Event model has been developed to deal with the generation of several feasible conflict-free solutions for air traffic networks.
