Trigger Metrics for Dynamic Airspace Configuration

t W , = traffic load change from time period tx to ty x t ij c , = number of aircraft transferred from cell i to its adjacent cell j during each time period tx N(i) = set of adjacent cells to cell i si = supply of node i di = demand of node i xij = amount of commodity transferred from node i to node j h = index for dummy node ph,i = artificial cost of transferring one unit of commodity to/from a dummy node to/from other demand/supply nodes x t i A , = set of cell indexes such that those cells together with cell i construct a sector during time period tx x t M = number of sectors during time period tx
