Distributed Air/Ground Traffic Management Simulation: Results, Progress and Plans

Abstract

mixed-fidelity simulation environment for humanin-the-loop study of Distributed Air / Ground – Traffic Management (DAG-TM) concepts has been developed at NASA’s Ames Research Center. The simulation environment facilitates large-scale experiments supporting high numbers of pilot, air traffic controller, and air traffic manager participants. Decision Support Tools (DST) for flight crews and air traffic service providers are accessible at the respective operator stations. Many operator positions can be augmented or autonomously run with agent support. We present samplings of results from studies conducted using this environment, and outline our goals in terms of improving and refining the simulation. We review the overall simulation architecture, and the key upgrades, including
