Abstract

This paper deals with the modelling of airspace capacity in Europe by first considering the factors that affect controller workload and then using a model, aided by the appropriate analytical techniques, to make an estimate of airspace capacity. The results show that capacity can be estimated based on the combination of different types of air traffic movement in a sector. The model has been used to provide airspace capacity estimates and utilisation measures for ATC sectors in Europe.
