  • Developing Early Alerting Mechanism to Support Robust Tracon Operations
    Abstract: This paper describes the development of an automated mechanism to alert aviation traffic managers of the need for taking action to adjust the rate of aircraft arriving into airports. When rates are too high, air traffic controllers are forced to do costly maneuvering and holding of aircraft to maintain required spacing. When arrival rates are too low valuable airport landing capacity goes unused. In today’s operations, mismatches between the planned and actual arrival rates often occur gradually and may not even be noticed until too late and significant problems materialize. This paper proposes an alerting mechanism that uses real-time ‘signal’ metrics based on actual airspace operations to alert controllers of impending problems. Alerts would be triggered when signal metrics cross their respective threshold values, which would be tailored for specific airspaces, and would be generated with sufficient lead time to allow for mitigating actions. The alerting mechanism would reduce reliance on manual monitoring, reducing traffic manager workload. Using historical flight data from airspace surrounding Atlanta International Airport an initial predictive model was developed and validated for one possible ‘signal’ metric. Through discussions with subject matter experts, an analysis of various metric threshold values was also performed.

    Submit a Discussion

    Attendees are welcome to submit a written discussion of any paper presented at the Annual Meeting. Written discussions will be considered for publication in the TRB Transportation Research Record series along with the paper being discussed. The author of the paper is given the opportunity to submit a written closure to the discussion. Please notify Rosa Allen at TRB by February 1, if you plan to submit a written discussion. When this notification is received, TRB staff will verify that the paper being discussed will be published and will provide the most recent version of the paper. This notification is therefore critical to ensure that all prepared discussions are used and to address issues in the most recent version of the paper in question.

    The discussion manuscript should be submitted to Rosa Allen by April 15 in electronic format as a Microsoft Word file (6.0 or later version). For the criteria used for discussions and for information on how to submit discussions for papers, see the Information for Authors document online at the TRB Annual Meeting website, under the Participant and Attendee Guides.
