Air Traffic Flow selection of Maastricht Upper Area Control Centre radar traffic with the SAAM tool Student: Artem Zhykharev Institute of Air Navigation
Introduction In recent years, air traffic flow density is continuously growing very fast. That’s why, in the future, it will be complicated to provide qualitative air traffic control (ATC) for each aircraft. For this reason, an analysis is conducted about air traffic flow density. One of the best ways to conduct this analysis is to perform air traffic flow selection
Posibilities to identify the busiest air traffic flows represent how air traffic actually flows by across the airspace to find the busiest airspace volumes which have a great influence on ATC and on safety of aviation in general gives information about the most efficient routes can help to enhance airspace design can give statistical data of the number of flights
Flow selectionSAAM Tool The air traffic flow selection can be produced with the help of the tool: “System for traffic Assignment & Analysis at Macroscopic level” (SAAM tool). ). The main function of such tool is to improve airspace and sector capacity. The SAAM tool uses the ‘.so6’ files which contain flight plan data and radar data of all air traffic flows. This data is provided by the Central Flow Management Unit (CFMU). Radar SAAM Tool .so6 files CFMU
The air traffic selection makes use of airspace gates in the SAAM tool. The airspace gate is useful for air traffic count in the corresponding airspace. EHAM air traffic EDDF air traffic

Flow selection of the Frankfurt airport • For traffic arrives to Frankfurt airport: • from the west (USA); • from the London airports; • from the west (Scotland, Iceland, Canada); • from the north (Denmark, Sweden) • from Schiphol Airport; • from the Paris airports; • For traffic departures from Frankfurt airport: • to London airports; • to Schiphol Airport; • to the west (Scotland, Iceland, Canada); • to Paris airports.
Flow selection of the Schiphol airport • For traffic arrives to Schiphol airport: • From the central and southern Europe (Switzerland, Italy); • From the Paris airports; • From the Nordic European countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway); • From Germany (Frankfurt, Munich); • From Eastern Europe; • For traffic departures from Schiphol airport: • To Frankfurt; • To France; • To the east; • To the Nordic European countries (Denmark, Sweden).
