Extract

The possibility of reducing the current vertical separation minima in order to increase traffic capacity on economical flight levels has been discussed mainly at the RGCSP (Review of the General Concept of Separation Panel) meetings of ICAO. A collision risk model based on the mathematical model developed by Reich (1966) has been adopted for evaluation of safety of air traffic systems under consideration. This collision risk approach requires several parameters which should be estimated from empirical data on navigational errors, traffic dynamics, etc.
