Abstract This report contains a functional design for the simulation of a future automation concept in support of the ATC Systems Command Center. The simulation subsystem performs airport airborne arrival delay predictions and computes flow control tables for the traffic management of excess airborne delays. Two flow control procedures are supported: Quota Flow and Fuel Advisory Departure procedures. The simulation subsystem works in conjunction wuth an input subsystem, a centralized data base of national air traffic schedules, of which have been designed by the FAA and reported in separate documentation.
Public Note Introduction, Overview of arrival delay prediction simulation, Overview of quota flow simulation, Overview of fuel advisory departure simulation, Overview of auxiliary processing to support simulation, Modular hierarchy strcuture of the simulation subsystems, Module specifications of simulation subsystems, Data inputs to simulation subsystems, Definition of simulation subsystem data inputs, Data outputs from simulation subsystem, Defintion of simulation subsystem data outputs, Data internal to simulation subsystem, Definition of data internal to simulation subsystem
