The management of arrival traffic has become one of the most difficult problems in air traffic control. The main objective of the Computer Oriented Metering Planning Advisory System (COMPAS) project was to find solutions and to gain experience in the application of a computer assisted system in the extended approach area. COMPAS was designed to help controllers in their planning and coordination functions and to efficiently merge the arrival traffic into Frankfurt airport (Fed. Republic of Germany). There is a series of models in the system which describe the air traffic control process, the economical flight profiles, the airspace structure plus the analytical method, and models for arrival sequencing. The COMPAS objectives, requirements, and models are described and the controller computer interface of the experimental system is considered in more detail.
