Decision support system of air traffic flow management based on coordination theory

Abstract

The decision-making impenetrate through the activities of air traffic flow management (ATFM). Mastering modern decision technology and improving the decision-making ability and efficiency are essential to the ATFM. In this paper, relevant concepts about decision support system (DSS) are expounded; the ATFM system environmental characteristics are discussed. And then we analyze the decision-making and coordination issues existing in the process of ATFM; study the applications of DSS and coordination theory in ATFM. Finally, integrated DSS of ATFM based on coordination theory is constructed.
