Managing arrivals in super-dense operations: Guidance based on a cognitive walkthrough

摘要

This paper describes the results of a cognitive walkthrough which was used to structure a knowledge elicitation effort. The goal of this task was to further define and evaluate alternative operational concepts to support evolution toward a Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) in which it is possible to dynamically design the flows for arrivals through super-dense operations (SDO) airspace for an airportal in order to safely maximize throughput given different levels and patterns of traffic demand and given convective weather constraints [1,2,3].
