Collaborative Decision Making in Air Traffic Management: Current and Future Research Directions

  • Conference paper
New Concepts and Methods in Air Traffic Management

Part of the book series: Transportation Analysis ((TRANSANALY))

Summary

Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) embodies a new philosophy for managing air traffic. The initial implementation of CDM in the US has been aimed at Ground Delay Program Enhancements (GDP-E). However, the underlying concepts of CDM have the potential for much broader applicability. This paper reviews on-going and proposed CDM research streams. The topic areas discussed include: ground delay program enhancements; collaborative routing; performance monitoring and analysis; collaborative resource allocation mechanisms; game theory models for analyzing CDM procedures and information exchange; collaborative information collection and distribution.
