2. In recent years, air traffic flow density is continuously growing very fast. Thats why, in the future, it will be complicated to provide qualitative air traffic control (ATC) for each aircraft. For this reason, an analysis is conducted about air traffic flow density. One of the best ways to conduct this analysis is to perform air traffic flow selection

3. to identify the busiest air traffic flows represent how air traffic actually flows by across the airspace to find the busiest airspace volumes which have a great influence on ATC and on safety of aviation in general gives information about the most efficient routes can help to enhance airspace design can give statistical data of the number of flights

4. The air traffic flow selection can be produced with the help of the tool: System for traffic Assignment & Analysis at Macroscopic level (SAAM tool). ). The main function of such tool is to improve airspace and sector capacity. The SAAM tool uses the.so6 files which contain flight plan data and radar data of all air traffic flows. This data is provided by the Central Flow Management Unit (CFMU). SAAM Tool SAAM Tool CFMU.so6 files Radar

5. SO6 file construction

6. The air traffic selection makes use of airspace gates in the SAAM tool. The airspace gate is useful for air traffic count in the corresponding airspace. EDDF air traffic EHAM air traffic
