Abstract :
First, this paper examines fundamental issues that arise when evaluating the sensitivity of decision support tool (DST) performance to trajectory prediction (TP) accuracy. Second, this paper presents a preliminary experiment, showing that variations in TP accuracy can substantially affect performance of a traffic flow management (TFM) DST due to differences in airspace loading forecasts.
