Modeling Distributed Human Decision-Making in Traffic Flow Management Operations

This paper describes results from a state-of-the-art computer simulation model of distributed human decision-making in Traffic Flow Management (TFM) operations when weather disrupts airline schedules. The computer model, called Intelligent agent-based Model for Policy Analysis of Collaborative TFM (IMPACT), is believed to be the world's first model to capture the behavioral complexity of human decision-making in TFM operations.
