Modeling air traffic throughput and delay with network cell transmission model

Abstract

❖ A model has been developed that models the movement of flights across a network and provides for a tradeoff between minimal delay and maximal throughput. ❖ Inspired by the Cell Transmission Model, this model captures the movement of aircraft from cell to cell within a network, and determines the optimal routing of aircraft through congested areas. ❖ Ongoing work to determine efficient integer solutions to the problem & finding cases that yield integer solutions. ❖ Incorporating stochasticity with inclusion of parameters to model randomness in flight departure times and its effect on delay and throughput.
