ABSTRACT
Air traffic system is analyzed from the aspects of system's attributes internal operating mechanisms and external behaviors. A hybrid air traffic simulation model described by the combination of discrete event and continuoustime models is proposed. The simulation model uses Agent-based techniques to describe micro behaviors of the air traffic individuals and integrates micro behaviors into dynamic macro performance in system-wide level. Typical Agent-based air traffic models such as aircraft agent and controller agent have been constructed. An arrivals and departures simulation application has validated that the Agent based hybrid air traffic model is provided with high fidelity in micro behavior and macro performance of the system.
