This paper describes the design and use of a simulator of some of the newly automated safety separation functions for terminal air traffic control (ATC). The program was used not only for analysis and design of these functions but also as a testbed for the logic actually implemented in the Knoxville, Tennessee terminal. Imbedded in the program is an emulator of the Goodyear Aerospace Corporation STARAN IV Associative Processor used at Knoxville. The three major ATC functions simulated are: 1) advanced mid-air conflict prediction and evaluation, 2) conflict resolution maneuver generation, and 3) automated voice advisory message generation and scheduling.
