Abstract

Improved radar surveillance for air traffic control can be obtained by the integration of radar systems. Integration, however, might cause the delay of radar information, which would hamper the air traffic controllers in their work. To estimate the delay, a mathematical equation to assess the amount of radar information causing this delay has been deduced from the properties of the behaviour of air traffic. The mathematical equation has been tested using results obtained from operational secondary surveillance radar in the Netherlands.
