Patent ID: 8868322

Claim:
An airspace complexity reducing system, comprising: a data storage device including data describing a multivariable model of an airspace complexity, a plurality of variables of the multivariable model including at least variances of all aircraft headings in the airspace, the airspace complexity being a cumulative effect of factors that influence a system user's ability to manage aircraft in the airspace, the airspace complexity being defined as a dynamic density (DD) expressed as DD =Σ i=1 n (c i *x i ) where x i is a value of the variables of the multivariable model and c i is a weighted coefficient associated with the value; a selecting module configured to select a variable from the plurality of variables of the multi variable model and determine an amount by which to modify the selected variable to achieve a predetermined airspace complexity value for reading the airspace complexity; and a suggestion module configured to a course of action to the system user depending on the selected variable.
