Automation in Air Traffic Management
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 November 2009
Extract
By Air Traffic Management or ATM is meant the totality of the processes used, in the air and on the ground, to ensure safe and expeditious movement of all air traffic using controlled airspace. Computers are used on a large scale to support human planners in the management processes. Flight management computers in the aircraft, together with radar and flight-plan data processors on the ground, are conspicuous examples. Decision processes remain tasks for human controllers, although off-line computer models of traffic flow provide a background for the longer-term management decisions.
