COCA [Ardep Ref: EUR227]

ISA Software is heavily involved in the support of the EUROCONTROL Complexity and Capacity Analysis Research being carried out at the EEC, providing researchers and analysis support tools to the COCA project

The objectives of COCA are to analyse the relationship between Complexity, Controller Workload, Sector type and Capacity through comparison of indicators between different Centres of Control.

The principle goal of COCA is to provide some relevant, measurable, and meaningful indicators to evaluate the intrinsic difficulty of the ATM tasks in the context of the airspace concerned. The approach is to analyse the relationship between complexity, controller workload, sector type and capacity. Practical examples of these analyses are through elaboration of indicators and comparisons of their values between different European states, centres of control or between USA and Europe.
