A new network model for the analysis of air traffic networks

Abstract

In the field of air traffic control it is a significant challenge and source of risk that often maximal performance load is charged against the regions of the airspace. Another problem is the fact that if the air traffic control is inefficient, it brings about substantial excess costs, as well. The article gives a new network model for the analysis of large air traffic networks and provides new opportunities also in the area of control theory. It reviews the relevant macroscopic modeling techniques and the application of the class of positive systems
