The Airspace Design Tool (ADT) provides 3D/4D
data integration and visualization, as well as the
ability to graphically modify airspace-design components
and assess impacts of design modifications. Complexity
metrics are used to quantify usage of airspace over
time, and also to estimate air-traffic-control workload.
Route-optimization algorithms provide the capability
to find complex route sets that best satisfy multiple
design objectives.

ADT provides metrics calculations for comparing airspace design alternatives.
ADT provides a central integrated display for correlation
of multiple sources of data. Within ADT the user
can overlay population data, flight navigation data
and geospatial data with flight tracks from virtually
any source. Through ADT the airspace designer can
design alternatives and validate their design with
the various operational models used to simulate
the design. The tool provides the capability to
import track and event data from various sources,
display the tracks in 2 and 3 dimensions, and to
manipulate them graphically to conform to actual
or proposed airspace designs. The tool can be used
to help identify noise impacted areas as well as
provide operational metrics in terms of time, distance
and complexity of airspace designs. Supporting tools
allow manipulation of non-spatial characteristics
such as aircraft types and event times.
ADT is a proprietary tool developed to support various airport and airspace redesign projects. ADT is currently being used in New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Salt Lake City, Cleveland, Detroit, Orlando, and Miami.
