Abstract: This paper describes research into automated support for air traffic controllers performing tactical air traffic management. It describes the system developed to help alleviate air traffic congestion. The system achieves this by maximizing runway utilization, achieved through arranging landing aircraft into an optimal order, assigning them a landing time, and then monitoring the progress of each individual aircraft in real time, its major components are independent agents, each solving a part of the overall problem. The system's flexible behavior results in part from this co-operative problem solving approach, and in part from the multiple levels of feedback employed between agents in the system and between the system and its environment.
