This paper describes a batch simulation experiment examining the operational impacts of the introduction of Automatic Dependant Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) equipment and the In-Trail Procedure (ITP) in the North Atlantic Organized Track System. The experiment showed that operational improvements and benefits could be achieved through the use of ADS-B and ITP.
