Air Traffic Control and Reducing Congestion by Taking Airport Capacity, Routes of Flights and their Release Time into Account

Abstract

In this bibliography, we the writers try to depict through thorough understanding of published research papers in this segment of operations research and its relation with air traffic control. Moreover, we try to go through historical research leading back to the year 1996 all the way to current times and figure out the best discoveries and inventions of methods that have proved exponentially beneficial to both travelers, travel service providers and governing bodies of air transportation. This filtered information would help any reader/researcher to get a centric and specified overview which is detailed in the ways and method through which Air Traffic Control has reached to its heights today and what it can achieve one day. That is what we humans endure, perfection and us writers believe that our efforts would help our fellow researchers to achieve the goal in either learning or in creating better structures that benefit everyone in the air travel industry. This paper conducts a systematic literature review on Air traffic control, reducing congestion and minimizing the cost related to it. It summarizes the developments in the aircraft industry (above mentioned context) over the last 27 years. A total of 200 published journal articles from the literature search were chosen and analyzed. In addition to it, findings of the reviewed articles, number of literature and journal articles available and the leading authors are discussed. By reviewing current research, identifying research gaps, and suggesting new future study opportunities, this review paper adds to the body of literature in reducing congestion and air traffic control.
