ABSTRACT
A method is proposed for generating operationally acceptable reroutes for air traffic management when a weather event is encountered. A decision support system that dynamically creates flight specific reroutes would aid traffic managers in efficiently maneuvering flights, but only if the reroutes provided were acceptable alternatives. As such, this research proposes a methodology that captures, through the network definition and metric evaluations, properties of reroutes that are both flexible and operationally acceptable. The methodological approach is reviewed and details are provided on the modeling formulation and solution algorithm employed. The results of the implementation of a simple example problem are investigated to identify how the different metrics defining reroute operational acceptability impact reroute quality.
