Static Airspace Data Modeling
AirTOP En Route supports the modeling of static airspace data such as waypoints, ATS routes with altitude and/or speed restriction per segment direction, ATC sectors and airspace. Elementary or collapsed ATC Sectors, optionally with their respective capacities including Area Control Centers (ACC), regional/sub-regional airspaces (FIR, NAS, ECAC), military airspace and FLAS areas, can also be modeled.
Conflict Detection and Resolution Modeling
Conflict detection and resolution can be modeled in AirTOP’s En Route module using a user-editable conflict resolution rule base. The rule base includes resolution strategies (stop climb/descent, vector parallel/behind, cruise level change, earlier descent, follow at the same speed/descent rate, shortcut, etc.) that can be customized by the user, taking into account the nature of the potential conflicts detected by the simulated radar controllers (conflict type, the relative position of aircraft, the destination of aircraft, routing merging or not, distance to TOD, resolution maneuver feasible in the sector, etc.).
Efficient Traffic Routing
The routing concept in AirTOP En Route provides an easy way to quickly create en route traffic simulation, avoiding duplication of traffic paths for aircraft flying to or from the same destination. The module supports the creation of flight routes as a combination of waypoints and airways/ATS routes. The ATS routes concept facilitates the creation of bi-directional airways, with opened flight levels specified by segment.
Data Import
Waypoints, ATS routes with altitude and/or speed restriction per segment direction, ATC sectors and dynamic sectorization, FLAS areas, radar controller tasks and dynamic allocation of a radar controller to a sector, can all be easily defined in AirTOP by simply clicking on the map or via the adjacent information display. They can also be completely or partially imported from external data sources, such as GASEL, AIXM, or using ad-hoc importers.
Detailed Controller Workload Modeling
AirTOP dynamically simulates controller workload for all controller roles. The workload model can take into account any event and associate a work duration with it. AirTOP also considers flight monitoring activities that can be further specified depending on flight phases (climbing, cruising, in approach, holding, etc.). The work duration associated with event handling (sector entry in climbing, altitude change clearance, etc.) can be split into generic user-defined activities (radio com, monitoring, conflict resolution, etc.). Duration spent per event and per activity can then be logged per rolling hour.
AirTOP Reporter
The AirTOP Reporter allows users to quickly retrieve, visualize and aggregate simulation results. It generates plots and tables exportable to spreadsheets or images to be used in external analysis and reporting tools.
Data Export
Built-in statistics per sector, flight, airport, or runway can be easily queried and exported (spreadsheet files, SQL databases) from AirTOP. The result of multiple simulation runs (that may include user-defined random variations) can be aggregated to provide statistically significant results.
Licensing Options
Transoft offers a range of licensing options to help small, sole proprietorships right on up to the largest multinational organizations meet their transportation design and analysis needs.
User Subscription License (USL) is a model where a set number of Subscribed Users are assigned dedicated access to the software through their unique logins for the duration of the license term. The software can be installed and used by a Subscribed User on multiple workstations.
Each Subscribed User represents one individual and their login and password, which cannot be shared with other users. Software activation is an easy process and can be done over the Internet.
Why Choose the USL Option
User Subscription License offers a cost-effective way for small businesses to start with one user and grow by adding additional users. For larger organizations, it will offer more flexibility in user administration and management via the My Transoft Portal. Furthermore, it can easily handle scalability and budgeting as per the business needs defined by the number of users.
Key Benefits of USL License
- Automatic updates, new features, and content
Bug fixes, compatibility, and new version releases. - Easily manage your changing business needs
With enhanced scalability and user management. - Install the software and log in from anywhere
Access your workstation, laptop, or personal desktop. - Unlimited technical support

Team Subscription License (TSL) is a license option that is intended to support casual or occasional users of the software. The size of a TSL is represented as a number of allocatable seats.
Why Choose the TSL Option
While User Subscription Licenses are better for dedicated users, Team Subscription Licenses can be a good complement to these if your organization has occasional, less heavy users of the software.
How it Works
Each user of a TSL must have an account in the My Transoft Portal to request a license. Internet access is required for this process.
When an end user starts the software product on their workstation, the software will connect to the My Transoft Portal and will determine if any of the seats are available. If a seat is available, it will be allocated and dedicated to that end user who will have unrestricted access to it for 24 hours. At the end of the 24-hour period the seat allocation will automatically expire, and another user will be able to claim it.
Once all the TSL seats are allocated at a given time, no other end user will be able to use that license until the 24-hour period expires and one of the seats is automatically deallocated.
Key Benefits of TSL
- More flexibility for your team members
Allows access to software for casual users without having to spend on dedicated licenses for all users. - Less administrative effort by IT
Easy access to software for casual users without IT having to allocate or transfer licenses amongst team members, self-administered by users with automatic 24-hour lock. - Combined Team & User Subscription option
Flexibility of mixing plans according to the needs of different user types. - Automatic updates, new features, and content
Bug fixes, compatibility, new version releases, or vehicle guidelines are automatically available to you. - Easily manage your changing business needs
With enhanced scalability and user management. - Install the software and log in from anywhere
Access your workstation, laptop, or personal desktop with Single Sign-on. - Unlimited technical support
Receive premium assistance for all your deployments and technical support needs. - Invitations to learning-focused webinars
Attend learning-focused webinars from our product experts and learn how our software can help streamline design processes. - Simple user administration
User Management can be performed in the My Transoft Portal, via invitation links or by Identity Provider Single Sign-on with User Provisioning.
Network License
A Network license allows everyone within an office location to access the software from the company server with one person concurrently using at a time. Network licenses are not tied to a particular workstation or user. Multiple Network license seats can be purchased, and a license server keeps track of how many licenses are in use at one time. When Transoft’s software on a Network license starts, it first checks to see if a Network license is available to use. If so, a license is then checked out from the pool of licenses. When a user exits the application, the license gets checked back into the pool making it available to other users.
