Abstract This report discusses a high level examination that was conducted to identify human factors issues in the integration of future traffic flow management (TFM) tools. The focus of the examination is on the integration of future systems and was driven by the desire to benefit TFM Modernization (TFM-M). Although a high level examination does not address system requirements per se, some requirements are recommended in the text of this report. Information for this report was gathered from published sources, discussion with individuals who are developing new traffic management tools, and facility observations. The issues that were found and discussed in this report are general, and only refer to current and proposed systems to illustrate human factors work that should precede integration decisions. The discussion includes issues related to decision support for weather constraints, demand estimation enhancements, decision support for traffic flow management initiatives, and communications and logging. The report addresses issues related to arrival management including time-based metering, the management of airport surface and departure traffic, and “what if” or trial-planning tools.
