Research on Terminal Area Sectors'Workload Calibration Based on AirTOp
The assessment of controller workload is an important topic in sector operations,which is impor-tant to increase the capacity value of the airport terminal area in order to increase the number of flights and economic benefits.Combined with the actual workload assessment and calibration of controllers in Beijing terminal area,this paper proposes a new idea and method of terminal area approach sector work-load calibration based on AirTOp simulation software.Calibrate the controller workload weight settings by comparing the actual control load with the simulation output in the same operating environment to obtain a summary table of workload weights that can be used for simulating controller workload assessment,and use the cross-validation method to use the calibrated weights as input for sector-oriented computer sim-ulation.The results show that the deviation between the simulated workload and the actual workload is less than±2,which proves that the calibration method can be applied to the evaluation of complex termi-nal area sector workloads.
