Methodology for Predicting Sector Capacity in Convective Weather Conditions

Convective weather conditions limit airspace capacity and increase the complexity of air traffic. Currently, air navigation service providers calculate sector capacity using air traffic controller workload as reference. The aim of the research is to propose a method for predicting sector capacity in convective weather using air traffic complexity model. In this proposal existing air traffic complexity model should be remodeled to enable finer resolution of complexity results. Also, the model should be upgraded with a new type of indicator showing aircraft-weather interactions. The adopted air traffic complexity model, in combination with the trajectory prediction model and the Weather Ensemble Forecast, should be able to provide a statistical characterisation of sector capacity under impending convective weather conditions.
