自兩岸直航開放以來，兩岸的交流藉由航空運輸越來越頻繁，來往於台灣與大陸的航班需求大量且快速的增加。在2010年6月，兩岸的班次已達到每周370班，卻還供不應求，在將來可能增加至每週500班次以上。其中主要的航班集中於桃園國際機場以及松山國際機場，導致台北終端管制區空中交通流量大增，並且因兩機場空域狹小且重疊，造成到離場航線互相衝突，飛機延誤及近場壅塞的情況將日趨嚴重。
本研究旨在於建立一套針對台北終端管制區的流量監控系統，進行管制區內交通流量的監視與未來衝突的解決，使航機能安全且盡量無延誤的起降。利用飛航數據處理系統中的飛行計畫，預估進場航機進入終端管制區的時間，在還未進入近場管制前完成排序，使飛機依序進入近場區並依序的下降落地。航管人員依照電腦系統中簡單的排序方法，僅使用地面等候及速度調整的策略安排到離場飛機的順序，不考慮空中等候與迂迴路徑等方法。此系統可用於高流量近場管制，減少航管人員因為終端區流量大時而產生錯誤的機率。

The interactions between Taiwan and China have become more frequent via air transport since agreement of cross strait being signed. This brings in a large number flight demand being increased rapidly. Most flights are operating in TPE and TSA to result in flow congestion in Taipei TCA.
The flow monitor is proposed to provide the predicted sequence of inbound and outbound aircrafts with minimum separation of Taipei TCA to focus on the increasing air flow from north. A case study has been simulated under heavy flow condition. FDP data from SAR are applied to estimate the time of feeder gates, last merge points, and landing further possible delay time. ATC indicates vectoring aircrafts according to predict sequence by executing ground holding and speed adjustment. Airborne holding is most avoided. The flow monitor can be used in approach control region and can efficiently reduce the probability of congestion in the busy Taipei TCA.
