Dynamic Capacity and Weather Resilience

Metron Aviation, Inc. – Company Confidential. Use or disclosure of data in this document is subject to the restrictions on the Title page.11

• Motivation – Airport capacity estimates are among key inputs

for implementing many ATFM Solutions– Inaccurate predictions result in unrecoverable

capacity loss• Approach

– Airport capacity model that explicitly integrates weather information and translates it into predicted airport capacity estimates

– Implementation supporting rapid computation and easy adaptation for many airports

• Output– Continued predicted dynamic capacity of Airport

• Decision Support– Assist Flow Managers in making decision about

arrival and departure rates at an airport– Mitigation for implementation of ATFM solutions

(GDP/GSs)

Integrated Airport Capacity Model (IACM)

Metron Aviation, Inc. – Company Confidential. Use or disclosure of data in this document is subject to the restrictions on the Title page.12
