Abstract

The Collaborative Trajectory Options Program (CTOP) makes each airline possible to share its route options to air traffic control center, and so achieve better business goals by reducing strategic operational costs. In Brazil, there are initial efforts to verify the benefits of CTOP implementation to improve the air traffic fluency and financial results. This paper presents a novel approach for Brazilian airspace using Genetic Algorithms to decrease the delay between available slots during CTOP. The slot optimization keeps improving in a safety-separating window of each aircraft en route. The case study presented an reducement about 70% of delay of a certain airline, when used this decision support system by air traffic control authority.
