A W S I MR
AWSIM is a suite of trajectory, simulation, conflict
prediction, conflict resolution and metric tools that can
perform a wide range of air traffic simulation and evaluation
tasks. AWSIM, through the utilization of several intertwined
modules can upgrade the quality of FAA's analyses efforts
substantially. These capabilities include manipulating
4-dimensional flight trajectories, identifying and resolving
aircraft-to-aircraft and aircraft-to-airspace conflicts,
evaluating future concepts such as reduced horizontal and
mixes, new routings, varying weather conditions, direct and
wind-optimal routing can all be measured using AWSIM. Ouputs
from the simulations include sector load metrics, sector
efficiency (fuel burn, miles traveled in sector, time of
saturation) and trajectory and traffic patterns.
AWSIM V2.6 currently resides in both the
ASD-430 Operations Research Laboratory where it resides on a
dual Pentium 4, 2.66mhz with 4GB of RAM. Also, the Simulation
and Analysis Group utilizes AWSIM at their site. The developer
Aerospace Engineering and Research Associates, Inc.
continually upgrades each version in response to user
feedback.
