Abstract: While airport congestion has long been viewed as a major air traffic management problem in the United States, congestion in the en route airspace is drawing an increasing amount of attention. Sources of en route congestion, such as severe weather, often cause the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to delay and reroute aircraft in order to ensure safety. Most current research into methods for managing en route congestion seeks to reduce delay or aid in aircraft rerouting. However, there has been less attention paid to delay and reroute allocation methods  an area in which there appears to be a pressing, practical need.<p>Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) is a movement within the air traffic management community that has combined the interests of the FAA and industry to develop a universally-accepted resource rationing process for congested airports. There is high expectation that CDM can achieve similar success in developing a parallel rationing process for the en route airspace. ...
