Vista assesses primary trade-offs in ATM between key performance areas in the current and future timeframes, including how they are affected by SESAR and non-SESAR factors. The project has examined the effects of market forces (e.g. fuel prices, economic development), technologies and regulatory factors on European performance in ATM, through the evaluation of stakeholder and environmental indicators. The approaches selected for the various layers in the model are described, and the corresponding results of each are presented. The strategic layer implements an agent-based economic model and a schedule mapper to generate demand and capacity for the different stakeholders, flight schedules and passenger flows – it feeds the pre-tactical layer. The pre-tactical layer transforms the output of the strategic layer into individual flight plans, passenger itineraries and ATFM regulations delay – it feeds the tactical layer. The tactical layer runs the day of operations, tracking flights and passengers and reacting to the tactical situation in the system. Trade-offs have been assessed and visualised within and between periods, and between stakeholders. The Final Project Results Report provides a summary of the entire project, from objectives to main conclusions. Lessons learned and recommendations for future research and development activities are reported along with a self-assessment of the project’s maturity
