ABSTRACT
The rerouting of aircraft to avoid either bad weather or congested
airspace is a technique commonly used by Air Traffic
Management (ATM) today. It is hoped that the current process
for determining the need for reroutes and developing reroute plans
can be improved through increased collaboration between ATM
and airspace users.
This report presents a strawman operational concept for
Collaborative Routing in the midterm (2005) time frame. It was
prepared as part of the MITRE Corporation's Center for Advanced
Aviation System Development (CAASD) support to the Federal
Aviation Administration's Collaborative Routing Research.
The report contains a scenario depicting collaborative decision
making between Traffic Flow Management (TFM) and airspace
users to manage traffic situations requiring routing actions.
Suggested participant roles and responsibilities, implied
procedural and decision support system enhancements, and
outstanding research issues are also presented.
