Original Abstract Submitted
Illustrative examples are provided of a process and machine configured to provide innovative technical solutions for: deriving a predicted trajectory for a vehicle; controlling a trajectory for a vehicle; and for reducing congestion in an Air Traffic Management system, via: a processor executing an algorithm specially programmed for: generating a baseline lateral profile for a baseline trajectory; subsequently generating a baseline vertical profile for the baseline trajectory; subsequently forming the baseline trajectory by merging the vertical profile with the baseline lateral profile; and using at least one of: a performance element, or a configuration element, from the baseline trajectory for deriving the predicted trajectory. The predicted trajectory is sent for use by a Flight Management System and/or an Air Traffic Management System.
