The FAA Office of Accident Investigation and Prevention (AVP) supports research, analysis and demonstration of quantitative air traffic analyses to estimate safety performance and benefits of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). This paper describes research for AVP, developing a unique capability to support safety cases for NextGen Operational Improvements (OIs) across FAA lines of business, by the U.S. DOT Volpe Center and government contractors: The Boeing Company (Boeing), and Saab Sensis Corporation (Saab Sensis). Analysis of eight weeks Airport Surface Detection Equipment — Model X (ASDE-X) surveillance of KFJK terminal area traffic that characterized missed departures and missed arrivals is described first. The paper concludes with simulation studies of these events' impact on traffic flow.
