How will CDM processes support SBT refinement?
When there is an over-demand that cannot be satisfied by redeployment of any available capacity, the problem is presented to the Users. The Users then balance their business needs to the new situation and submit new SBTs, possibly with the aid of a “what-if” tool. The input that will be provided by the ATM system to the CDM process that will solve the problem has not been detailed by SESAR, but could include: hypothetical delays that would be applied if no action were to be taken; probability of occurrence (less certain the longer the lookahead) and other factors to be defined that would support the User decision making.
