abstract="Due to safety reasons, ATC related research depends on the availability of flexible simulation?tools to model candidate concepts/procedures and the respective test scenarios with the required level of precision. The analysis and development of procedures for Air Traffic Management (ATM) requires a model to simulate en?route traffic operations, allowing the assessment of safety and economy for numerous operational, environmental, traffic?related or aircraft?related boundary conditions. Therefore, in contrast to a commonly used network?type approach a ?meso&quot;scopic model, called ATSAM (Air Traffic Simulation .Analysis Model), was developed. ATSAM was designed as a general?purpose fast?time simulation?tool for en?route Air Traffic System (ATS) scenarios based on a generalized, somewhat object?oriented modeling of ATS scenario elements/ATM control actions and a detailed continuous aircraft/flight simulation model considering error influences modeled by discrete events. The ATSAM program package includes numerical and graphical software for result data assessment and presentation.<p />",
