OPTIMISED ALGORITHMS FOR EXTENDED ARRIVAL MANAGERS

The main mission shared by current Arrival Managers (AMAN's) is to assist the Air Traffic Controller (ATCo) in the tasks related to the traffic synchronisation in its arrival, relieving his workload. AMAN's goals are: sequencing, metering and merging with the only objective of optimising the time of arrival. On the other hand, AMAN's should be interconnected with other decision support tools which provide eficiency to ATM. It is expected that this versatility will convert them into a key collaborative tool within the air traffic synchronisation process.
