Communication, Navigation, Surveillance and Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM)
Published in Busyairah Syd Ali, Aircraft Surveillance Systems, 2017
Air Traffic Management (ATM) is a broadly defined function that includes air traffic services, air traffic flow management and airspace management. Its objective is to keep aircraft separated and enable aircraft operators to meet their planned times of arrival and departure while adhering to preferred flight (ICAO, 2002a). Integration of the new CNS technologies into the ATM will enable Air Traffic Services (ATS) providers to improve efficiency. By being better able to both accommodate an aircraft’s preferred flight profile and reduce the minimum separation, aircraft operators and service providers could achieve reduced operating costs and minimize delays, while simultaneously freeing up additional airspace and increasing capacity. Figure 1.3 summarizes the benefits of the new CNS systems to the ATM.

Revolutionary changes in air traffic management (ATM), procedures and technology are needed to accommodate enormous projected increases in future air traffic. The 4D ATM scenario being developed in Europe (PHARE, 1990) is based on a time-based flight plan. Currently pilots need to plan their route in latitude/longitude and altitude (3D), and time is applied only at certain discrete areas. For a more efficient use of airspace the time needs to be specified at every position. This 4D route needs to be negotiated with air traffic control (ATC) and will require data link communication. The increased frequency in (re)planning and (re)negotiation of routes will result in an increased interaction between the pilot and the airborne flight management system (FMS).
Airspace Systems Technologies

The two major functions associated with air traffic management are air traffic control, the ability to keep aircraft separated from each other, and traffic flow management, maintaining the efficient flow of traffic. These two functions have to be performed while (1) satisfying the demand for airport and airspace capacity and (2) reducing delay and the impact of aircraft emissions on the environment. The aircraft conflict detection and resolution task—separation assurance (SA)—is performed by air traffic controllers in sectors with the help of decision tools.
An efficient algorithm for solving the system optimisation problem in transportation

The rapid development of air transportation requires a new generation of air traffic management systems to be able to deal with the increasing air traffic flow more safely and effectively. To achieve this goal, we can develop simpler and more accurate models. The performance of strategic air traffic flow management can be improved by applying different analysis and synthesis technologies involved in system theory. In this context, air traffic flow management needs innovative modelling and design methods. Based on this goal, the existing literature has carried out extensive research on the network effect of air traffic flow management, but they did not explicitly include the problem of flight time fair distribution in the case of delay, nor did they carry out the work of fair distribution of delay value in the context of a single airport in the collaborative decision-making mode. Frequent flight delays require more powerful decision analysis tools to make better use of available system resources (Crévits et al., 2002).
