Area control center digital twin with AirTOP’s modeling and simulation engine

AirTOP WIZer ACC can model the full operational environment of any ACC or group of ACCs. It provides complexity and controller workload measurements for all types of sector (En Route sectors, TMAs, etc.), or for tower controllers.

The workload and complexity model are specified using an interface within the WIZer ACC application which allows administrator to modify, parameterize or customize the model. Within an ACC, sectors can be organized into groups and sub-groups (sector families), for example to take account of different ATCO licensing requirements in different groups of sectors.

The tool provides decision support by proposing air traffic flow and capacity management (ATFCM) measures to balance demand and capacity, allowing the user to produce “what-if” scenarios which present the results of such proposed measures.
