This paper introduces a novel approach for synchronised demand-capacity balancing within a proposed Collaborative Air Traffic Flow Management framework. The approach is aimed to realise optimising traffic flow and scheduling airspace configuration in a more harmonised manner. Options such as delay assignment and alternative trajectories (generated and submitted by Airspace Users) are intended for regulating the traffic flow. Airspace reconfiguration involves, on the other side, adjusting the opening schemes of predefined configurations, or creating new ones (if needed) through dynamic sectorisation. Results suggest that, using the proposed approach, the required system delay can be reduced remarkably, whereas the number of opened sectors (and thus operating cost) and the total capacity provision (supplied by the Air Navigation Service Providers) decrease at the same time, due to the increased capacity utilisation per operating sector.

本文介绍了一种在提议的协同空中交通流量管理框架内实现同步需求-容量平衡的新方法。该方法旨在以更协调的方式实现优化交通流量和安排空域配置。诸如延迟分配和替代轨迹（由空域用户生成和提交）之类的选项旨在调节交通流量。在另一方面，空域重新配置涉及调整预定义配置的开放方案，或者通过动态分区来创建新的（如果需要）。结果表明，使用建议的方法，可以显着减少所需的系统延迟，
