Objective:
The CDM Collaborative Automation Team is tasked with reviewing current Traffic Flow Management System (TFMS) capabilities and determining if they still meet systemic needs and defining what, if any, changes or enhancements are desired. The CDM Steering Group (CSG) has specifically tasked the new team with reviewing the current processes in the assignment and management of delay program slots to determine if they meet current operations analysis, post event analysis, and flight operator needs; and providing recommendations for ways in which they can be enhanced to provide for current systemic needs. Additionally, the CSG has tasked the team to explore the use of Traffic Management Advisor/Time Based Flow Management scheduling times in TFMS, and to make recommendations for the use of TBFM information within TFMS.
