A Novel Static Sector Capacity Evaluation Method and Correlation Study

Sen Du, Jiawei Kang, Yuqing Ye, Jing Huang, Zhiyuan Shen

Abstract— At present, there is no clear definition and quantitative standard of static sector capacity for air traffic control, which leads to an unsafe phenomenon that the number of aircraft far exceeds the static sector capacity. Furthermore, economic losses and safety issues are brought when the static capacity is exceeded, but the dynamic capacity is not reached. This paper builds a novel calculation model of static capacity with the proposed concept of Operational Complexity. Then the relationship between Static Sector and Dynamic Sector Capacity is established based on the numerical result of Operational Complexity. Finally, a case study shows the assessment procedure of the proposed correlation for the air traffic control sector

Index Terms— sector capacity; dynamic sector capacity; controller load; operational complexity; correlation
