En-Route Trajectory calculation using Flight Plan Information for Effective Air Traffic Management

En-Route Trajectory calculation using Flight Plan Information for Effective Air Traffic Management

Trajectory modeling is foundational for 4D-Route modeling, conflict detection and air traffic flow management. This paper proposes a novel algorithm based Vincenty’s fomulas for trajectory calculation, combined with the Dijkstra algorithm and Vincenty’s formulas. Using flight plan simulations our experimental results show that our method of En-route trajectory calculation exhibits much improved...

A Flow-based Flight Scheduler for En-route Air Traffic Management

This paper addresses a network-wide scheduling problem for generating, adjusting and optimizing flight schedules in en-route airspace. The aim of scheduling is twofold: to support flight plans by providing flight schedules reliable on optimal flow restrictions; and to assist en-route traffic control by ensuring safe and ordered trajectory of traffic. Firstly, we design an algorithm to generate ...

Flight plan management in a distributed air traffic control system

We explore how large-scale replication may enhance the availability of data in a loosely coupled distributed system. We are especially concerned with Air Traac Control systems which are intrinsically geographically distributed and impose strict constraints of availability. In this framework, we propose a replication system providing a weak consistency of data. After a study of speciic propertie...
