In the Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System transponders in the aircraft use one of 4096 identity codes when replying to interrogation from the Secondary Surveillance Radar. Two types of plans for assigning identity codes to aircraft were tested by simulating in a digital computer a peak day's IFR traffic in the USA. In one type each Air Route Traffic Control Center assigns codes independently of all the others, while in the other type a single master center makes all the code assignments for the USA. Four other types of plans are discussed, and an assignment plan of mixed type is proposed for further study. The strategy of simulation and the use of the SIMSCRIPT language are discussed in an appendix. (Author)
