Application features
General map view controls
• Zoom (pre-defined scales, in bounds, key pressed...)
• Pan (on mouse drag, key pressed...)
• Undo last zoom/pan
• Distance/ Angle/Area measuring with the mouse (Map ruler)
• Multiple projections (see below) with coordinate read-out
• Map Overview
• Fit on data layer
Aircraft rendering & labeling
On a small scale:
• settable color, label font, heading on/off, heading length
• sector associated color
On a large scale (airport level): using aircraft shape (.3d file)
Multi-lines labeling including:
• call sign
• altitude (+/- FL)
• speed
• sector name
• aircraft type (when selected)
• departure-destination airports (when selected)
• remaining time (when selected)
Labeling on/off
Label decluttering modes:
- automatic mode
- manual (mouse drag)
- "smart" rendering / filtering:
- color by sector or departure or destination or aircraft type or altitude
• Customizable label content
Flight Plan rendering and analysis
• Rendering in map view as polylines with user defined
color
• Rendering in vertical view (height profile) when selected from
list or map view
• Flight plan density calculation and rendering as line segment with
different line width
• Flight plan gradient density
• Filtering by altitude interval for both flight plans and flight
plan density layers
Flight trajectories rendering and analysis
• Rendering in map view as polylines with user defined color• Rendering in vertical view (height profile) when selected from list or map view. Intersecting sectors and corresponding flight plan are rendered in background.
• Aircraft density analysis and rendering as raster: filtered by altitude, time interval and callsign in list
• Selected trajectory details in table window
• Taxi path: distance on taxiways for any trajectory (for TAAM gfdr only), save to ASCII file function
Sectors rendering and analysis
• Rendering as polygon or outlined filled areas
with user defined color, transparency
• Labeling including aircraft names, severity, type time, and altitude
• Instantaneous and anticipated aircraft movement density analysis
and rendering as dynamic color display
• Instantaneous and anticipated sector workload analysis and rendering
as dynamic color display
• Filtering by altitude interval or user selection from list
Rule-based filtering
• Creating highly customized filters
• Coupling custom styling to filtering output
• Exporting and importing filters to/from XML
Waypoint rendering and analysis
• Rendering and labeling of waypoints with user
defined icon (color and size)
• Waypoint loading rendering in user selectable time interval and
altitude interval with icon color and size increment
Delay rendering and analysis
• Ground delay density plot in a given time interval for runways, taxiways, with user defined color and line width increment (with TAAM.rep file): line width represents the number of delayed flights, the color the sum off all delays
Conflict rendering and analysis
• Rendering of point of closest approach for conflicts
• Filtering by altitude interval, time interval and sector
• Conflict density analysis by time interval, altitude interval,
severity, type and sector. Rendering by color (for conflict type) and
size (for severity) increment.
• Filtering & coloring based on conflict resolution type
• Conflict Animation
3D View
• Terrain profile with texture mapping of map view
content
• Sectors rendering
• Flight plans rendering
• Trajectory rendering
• Airport rendering
• View navigation controls
Table View
• Table view of aircraft, trajectories, flight plans,
flight plan densities,...
• Text search, filtering, sorting
• Synchronized selection, center map on select
Playback controls and settings
• Play, pause, stop, step forward, step backward
button
• Time slider (continuous move forward or back in time)
• Time factor setting for play mode
• Forward or backward step length
• Max CPU usage setting
• Simulation time frame setting
• Manual time setting dialog
Project management
• Project file stores simulation playback related
files as well as rendering and layout settings
• Import TAAM projects
• Scan directory for project creation
• Open, close, save project actions
Miscellaneous
• Export of view as GIF file for importing in reports
• Multi-page printing
• Full screen view
• Redlining of 2D & 3D geometries: save as POL and ESRI SHP

• Transverse Mercator
• Lambert Equal Area
• Cassini
• Vertical Perspective
• Polar Stereographic
