  • In order to research the evolutionary characteristics of air traffic control(ATC) of Chinese civil aviation, an evaluation index system of ATC development was established. The data of 8 indexes, including aircraft number, transport aircraft number, passenger number, passenger turnover, route number, destination city number, total turnover of air traffic, and accident number, were collected during 1950-2018. Two redundant indexes were excluded by conducting correlation analysis, the retained 6 indexes were standardized, the entropy method was used to calculate the weight of each index, finally, dimensionless data were obtained. The dimensionless data were analyzed by Fisher cluster algorithm, and the time points which divide the evolutionary stages were obtained, and the evolution process of ATC was divided into 6 stages. Through the collection of major events in the development of civil aviation in China, the results of quantitative analysis were adjusted. Analysis result shows that the development of ATC in China can be divided into 7 stages, and every stage has its own development characteristics. After the seven stages of development and evolution, China has formed a military and political condominium state ATC system, including the three-level operation management system headed by the Air Traffic Management Bureau of CAAC, the three-level government supervision system headed by the Air Traffic Regulation Office of CAAC, and the civil aviation ATC technical system based on the International Civil Aviation Organization standard. The civil aviation ATC has been developed by both the management system and the technical system. A new generation of integrated ATC system should be established through the new management system and technical system. The intensive degree of the system should be improved, and the responsibility of avoiding collision should be gradually transferred from the ground controller to the aircraft or the pilot.
