The air traffic controller is at the apex of a complex information system. High volume air traffic often precludes thorough data analysis by the controller and reduces his ability to plan for optimum traffic flow. Simulation offers a means to evaluate changes in air traffic control procedures or facilities. Such changes could assit the controller in maintaining optimum traffic flow. This research involved the development of a computer simulation model of an approach control area. Experiments were conducted on the model to test the effect of various changes in procedures and facilities. The results of the experiments were inconclusive. (Author)
