Abstract :
Weather is known to play an important role in the management of air traffic. Using an existing traffic flow optimization environment, the impacts of different weather perturbations on the airspace are analyzed. Simulations to optimize traffic flows using estimates of controller taskload in the degraded environment are run and their results are compared with ETMS data. They highlight the discrepancies between nominal and perturbed conditions, and point out further promising research topics.
