Research and Application of Simulation Technology in Airspace Capacity Assessment

With the continuous increasement of flights, the airspace becomes more and more crowded. The airspace capacity has become a research hot-spot of civil aviation. Simulation technology can accurately duplicate the airspace operation and simulate the operation in different situations to get the relevant operation parameters. This article summarizes the process of airspace capacity assessment with the method of simulation technology and the details of simulation principle.Taking BaoTengMang approach airspace as an example, the airspace capacity assessment is studied. The simulation results show that the proposed method can accurately obtain the time, delay level and control load of the aircraft passing through the controlled airspace. Compared with the traditional method, the more reasonable airspace capacity can be obtained by considering the delay level and control load.
