Abstract:
The aim of the model is the comparison of flow regulations subjected to different kinds of constraints :
➤
Sector load constraints
➤
Sector capacity constraints
➤
Simultaneous sector capacity and load constraints.
The model shows that the regulation based on load constraints is the most efficient in terms of flight
delays. The results of the double constraint regulation (capacity plus load) do not differ very much of
those obtained by the regulations based on the sole capacity constraint. The reason is that the
capacity constraints are much more restricting than the load constraints.
The prototype has been implemented as a highly parameterised simulation tool that should be well
fitted to study, among other topics, the impact of various flight priority definitions.
For the time being flow management operational staff has not yet validated the prototype.
