A Cooperative Distributed Approach to Multi-Agent Eulerian Network Control: Application to Air Traffic Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on an Eulerian network model, air traffic flow in the National Airspace System is optimized using second order adjoint methods for hyperbolic PDEs. Multiple airlines with independent cost structures are added to previous work on air traffic flow modeling and optimization. A cooperative, distributed solution methodology is proposed that allows airlines to keep cost information private by distributing the computational workload between the airlines while ensuring efficient outcomes. The Nash Bargaining Solution is presented as a possible solution concept, and a distributed method for its calculation is presented.

Agent-based approach for cooperative scheduling
This paper studies the multi-factory production (MFP) network scheduling problem where a number of different individual factories join together to form a MFP network, in which these factories can operate more economically than operating individually. However, in such network which known as virtual production network with self-interested factories with transportation times, each individual facto...
متن کاملA Multi-Agent System Architecture for Distributed Air Traffic Control
The next generation of air traffic control will require automation in order to meet safety, reliability, flexibility, and robustness demands in an environment of steadily increasing air traffic density. Optimization, however, is an inadequate paradigm for the design of a cooperative distributed air traffic control system. The problem stems from a fundamental limitation of von Neumann-Morgenster...

The paper presents a model, multi-agent architecture, implementation approach and software prototype of a multi-agent system for autonomous air traffic control within airport airspace capable of automatic detection of potential violations of safety policies by individual aircraft and consequent incident management. It features a model facilitating practical implementation of the concepts of ope...
متن کاملReinforcement Learning to Support Meta-Level Control in Air Traffic Management
In a complex environment where the messages exchange intensively among the agents, a difficulty task is to decide the best action for new arriving messages during on-line control. A typical form of communication in Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) is verbal language to exchange the information and there is almost no digital recording of this communication between pilot and air controller. As ...
متن کاملMulti-agent Systems: Traffic Control Application
Multi-agent system technology has been proposed to model any systems who's resources are distributed (systems that can be found everywhere in the real world). Through system modeling using this technology the system's flexibility and capacity to resolve unpredicted situations that appear inside it, have been improved. In this article multi-agent systems technology advantages and applications ar...
