Abstract
The aircraft density in the airspace is growing, and this may increase the risk of accidents. In this sense, it is very important for air traffic controllers to work under safe traffic conditions, which include a good airspace division. The goal of this paper is to study the use of a well known airspace complexity measure, applied to evaluate air traffic controller workload in different organizations of the airspace around São Paulo. The results obtained by simulating two different scenarios show the relations between sector geometry, complexity and controller workload conditions.
