Abstract

Methods and systems suitable for processing multiple trajectory modification requests received from multiple aircraft within an airspace. The methods include receiving multiple trajectory modification requests that are transmitted from multiple aircraft and request alterations of the altitudes, speeds and/or lateral routes thereof, sequentially performing conflict assessments on the multiple trajectory modification requests to determine if any of the multiple trajectory modification requests pose conflicts with the altitudes, speeds and lateral routes of any other of the multiple aircraft, placing in a computer memory data queue n trajectory modification requests of the multiple trajectory modification requests that are identified by the conflict assessments as posing conflicts, and periodically processing the queue to perform subsequent conflict assessments on the n trajectory modification requests to determine if any of the n trajectory modification requests still pose conflicts with the altitudes, speeds and lateral routes of any other of the multiple aircraft.
