| 内容記述 | A prototype decision support tool for terminal area air traffic controllers, referred to as the Final Approach Spacing Tool (FAST), was recently evaluated in operation with live air traffic at the Dallas/Fort Worth Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facility in the United States. Controllers utilized the FAST system's runway assignment and sequence advisories to manage and control arrival traffic during more than twenty five peak rush traffic periods. The system performed well resulting in capacity increases at the airport of 10-20% depending on weather and airport conditions. As a result of these tests, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proceeding with plans to further develop the prototype FAST system for national deployment at five to ten TRACONs within the United States during the next five years. This paper will present the results of these tests including data on the FAST system impact on airport capacity, aircraft flight times in the terminal area, delay reduction, tower operations including ground movement, and human factors data including workload assessments. |
