Air-traffic controller and autopilot joint control of aircraft as mixed integer quadratic problem

Abstract One of the traditional problems in air-traffic management is optimal safe scheduling aircraft at a point air-routes join. However, this problem implies another one, namely, guiding to prescribed its route necessary instant. The latter studied much less attentively. Change arrival instant can be provided by alternating motion trajectory on basis near-airport scheme or velocity. Such control worked out as automatically autopilot manually an controller. But it difficult controller construct such especially during rush hours loaded airports. In paper, authors suggest optimizational formalization automatic directions generation for guiding. criterion minimized number controller-pilot interactions, because each interaction long, process liable linguistic, technical, psychological, and other errors. Since processes are discrete kind, done framework mixed integer quadratic programming. obtained solved numerically means MIQP-solver Gurobi library. Each subproblem quite fast within 0.1-0.5 seconds. So, solution entire (which includes enumeration trajectories choice velocity regime them) takes one-two Thus, group time acceptable real application.
