On The Air Traffic Flow Management Rerouting Problem (ATFMRP)

Abstract

Air Traffic Flow Management Problem(ATFM) is a set of strategic processes that reduce congestion problems and delays costs. 2 The fundamental challenge for ATFM arises when there is system disruption. 3 A major challenge encountered by air traffic managers is the problem of finding optimal scheduling strategies that mitigates congestion as well as minimizes delay costs when there is capacity reductions. 4 The problem of managing the air traffic so as to ensure safe and efficient flow of aircraft throughout the airspace is referred to as the Air Traffic Flow Management Problem (ATFMP)
