Distributed Mechanisms for Determining NAS-Wide Service Level Expectations: Year 1 Report

Abstract: 

One of the prime NextGen objectives is to move to a performance-based air traffic management system. Such a system should be capable of making intelligent trade offs among different performance criteria when deciding on specific traffic flow management actions. Viewed at a high level the objective of this research is to provide a means for the flight operator community to collectively set service level expectations and thereby define the criteria for making the required performance trade offs.
