Sažetak
With continuous increase of air traffic in Europe the term of complexity appears more frequent than ever. In air traffic control complexity is closely related to airspace and sector capacities describing the level of difficulty of operations and it can be used as additional parameter for understanding aircraft en-route delays, as well as the workload of air traffic controllers. Thus, new model for complexity assessment was introduced by EUROCONTROL. Based on few main indicators, such as adjusted density, vertical, horizontal and speed interactions, the air traffic complexity model presents only a part of airspace complexity, which is, as a rule always of higher value. Air traffic complexity indicators are presented and compared on the basis of air navigation services providers. Later, EUROCONTROL’s software tool – SAAM was used for detailed analysis of air traffic complexity in the area of Functional Airspace Block Central Europe (FAB CE) with emphasis on Croatian sector groups. This study shows differences in complexity between existing sector groups in FAB CE according to complexity indicators which are presented as relative values in respect of the whole Functional Airspace Block. The traffic sample for analysis is based on radar data instead of flight plan data. Two scenarios are analysed – for lower and upper airspace including analysis of conflict types and shares in FAB CE.
