Development of Fast-Time Simulation Techniques to Model Safety Issues in the National Airspace System
Abstract
This report constitutes the final report for Calendar Year 2001 (CY01) under Contract Number NAS2-99072 for the third year of a three-year research project entitled “Development of Fast-Time Simulation Techniques to Model Safety Issues in the National Airspace System.” The objective of this research is to investigate and develop techniques to enable NAS fast-time simulation modeling to be useful for conducting safety analysis. The research efforts focus on examining the type of safety issues that could be appropriately modeled by fast-time simulations and developing, testing, and demonstrating human behavioral modules and data analysis routines that would need to be incorporated into fast-time simulations in order to predict the safety effects of changes in procedures or technologies and to support risk assessment.
