Summary: | In this study a multilevel framework is proposed to analyze the charges definition
problem for an ATC/ATM service provider. Two cases are considered: a case in which the
ATC/ATM service provider is a public company whose final objective is, while guaranteeing
safety, to promote the level of end users demand, and a case in which the ATC/ATM service
provider is a private company whose objective is to maximize her profit. In both cases this
leads to the formulation of a bi-level optimization program involving the ATC/ATM service
provider as the leader and the whole airline sector as the follower. Direct optimal solutions are
obtained in the simplistic considered one dimensional case. Then in both cases, public or
private, natural negotiation schemes between the ATC/ATM service provider and the airline
sector are introduced. Sufficient conditions are established so that the proposed negotiation
processes converge towards the respective optimal solutions while a compensation scheme is
proposed to make the two solutions identical. This study provides a basis for the study of the
ATC/ATM charge definition problem for more complex airspace market structures. |
