A two-step automated Multi-Aircraft Control System traffic scenario generation process for Human-in-the-Loop evaluations of air traffic management concepts is described. The first step of the two-step process employs the scenario generation capability currently available in NASA's Air Traffic Management Testbed. The second step refines the scenario by filtering flights from the traffic scenario based on route length, cruise speed, cruise altitude, entry time and the desired ratio of internal to external flights. A solution for achieving the desired ratio of internal to external flights, where internal flights are shorter flights and external flights are longer flights based on a distance threshold, is described. Finally, schedulers are described for shaping the hourly arrival traffic count as a function of time in response to airport capacity constraint or for increasing the traffic demand with respect to the available arrival capacity. Results generated for arrival traffic to the four major airports in the New York Metroplex on a busy day using the two-step procedure are discussed. These results show that traffic scenarios for Multi-Aircraft Control System that meet the Human-in-the-Loop and fast-time simulation requirements can be created automatically following the procedures described in the paper. The automated process will improve the accuracy and efficiency by eliminating the tedious manual process for scenario generation.
