This work was undertaken as part of the examination of the soundness of the current standards for the spacing between parallel aircraft routes and the enhancement of analytical methods to evaluate future standards. This report describes work completed to date on the Conflict Monitoring Parallel Route Spacing Analysis. This analysis assesses the potential for collision and the controller workload associated with aircraft flying on same direction parallel routes. To assess the potential for collision the analysis considers a conflict alert function similar to that employed in the National Airspace System. The conflict alert function detects pairs of aircraft which are projected to violate the radar separation standard within a given time period. In the analysis the event of a conflict alert is followed by a probabilistic delay and a resolution maneuver characterized by a randomly chosen horizontal turn rate. The controller intervention rate is estimated by using a simulation. Actual aircraft tracks were sampled from the FAA data base which supports this activity. These tracks are initiated on the routes based on randomly chosen sector entry times which reflect the level of route loading. For both the potential for collision and the intervention rate, trial results based on a subset of the FAA data are given.
