Studies of perturbations to flight traffic and routes on simulated M&S operations at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson international airport

Abstract

Presents a collection of slides from the author's conference presentation. • Demand may exceed the capacity of any particular waypoint along a route • Can be a critical issue if the waypoint is collocated along many routes (e.g. arrival fix or runway) • Identifying these points suggests ways towards relieving congestion by alternate route configurations • When approach applied to ATL 2018 simulated scenario, aircraft delays were reduced on average by 1 minute per flight
