Abstract:

A knowledge-based system for scheduling arrival traffic in the terminal area,

referred to as the Final Approach Spacing Tool (FAST), has been implemented and

operationally tested at the Dallas/Fort Worth Terminal Radar Approach Control

(TRACON) facility. Two types of controller advisories are generated by FAST:

sequence number and runway assignment. The knowledge base for runway assignment

employs a set of hierarchial rules and decision logic that evaluates both

performance and workload criteria. This formulation is based on over 2,000

hours of controller-in-the-loop, real-time simulations. In the field tests,

controllers had the option to accept or reject the FAST-generated runway

assignments. Results indicate strong adherence to the advisories and increased

capacity, with no significant impact on controller workload
