For the evaluation of the functional capacity and the operational performance of Computer Aided Metering Planning Advisory System (COMPAS), traffic related aspects and human factors aspects were assessed in a series of experiments at Air Traffic Control (ATC) simulation facilities, with controllers as subjects. The evaluation was done in two major steps. The first step dealt with system layout. It resulted in an optimized design of algorithms, man/machine interface, and control principles of the system, which was in the second step submitted to a large scale evaluation, with more than 100 hours of simulation time. Three sources of data were used: traffic data, operational data of controller work, and controller judgements. The results indicated that COMPAS served as a helpful tool for reducing the effort for approach sequencing and for coordination. The guidance of approach traffic in the terminal area was facilitated by the planning system.
