| Abstract: | Relations are estimated among enroute air traffic, controller staffing and performance of controllers and ATC system. Controller staffing is found to increase at least linearly with air traffic in the US National Airspace System. Findings in literature review, FAA controller staffing models, FAA standards, and results of analyses support this finding.
Measures of controller performance, controller workload and models are developed to estimate relations between controller performance and air traffic in sectors and centers of the NAS. It is found that controller performance is not affected by air traffic congestion within sectors and centers. The estimated relations may be biased by factors such as spatial and temporal propagation of delays in the NAS, ATC procedures used to delay flights away from the source of airspace congestion, strategic and tactical planning performed by ATC system and different traffic management processes and programs implemented for traffic flow management in ... |
