The data released by the civil aviation also alludes that the Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGCA) Passenger traffic fell 33 percent year-on-year in March after airlines had to ground flights in the aftermath of lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID 19. The data released by the civil aviation also alludes that 77.6 lakh people took to the skies in March before the restrictions came into force.
With the increase in air traffic the pressure on the Air Traffic Control (ATC) will be more where there could be a possibility of human error and the model will ensure that planes are safely separated from each other, while maintaining the most efficient flow of traffic. Atichya Chandra, a research student from the department explained that in most of the world and in India, currently, air traffic management is human centered.
"The phenomenal growth of the volume of air-traffic over Indian air-space over the last few decades has already started to stretch the existing system. This adds to the pressure of safe management of air traffic at all points of time. Hence, the necessity of finding more efficient ways of managing the huge air traffic," Chandra talked about the motivation behind the project.
