Allocating 3D-trajectories to air traffic flows, using A∗ and genetic algorithms
نویسنده
چکیده
The critical problem of airspace congestion over Europe is currently being handled by the Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) by allocating departure time slots to aircraft, thus generating costly ground delays. Besides, airlines operators are free to choose the flight path through the routes network, and the requested flight level for each of their flights3. Very few constraints are put on the airlines operators concerning these choices. A consequence is that many flights request the same flight levels, thus increasing the airspace congestion. The continuous traffic increase is now pushing the current system to its limits, and the need for alternatives of higher capacity arises.

Assessment of the 3D-separation of Air Traffic Flows
This paper is a continuation of [1] and [2], where two algorithms were introduced, allocating optimal separated 3D-trajectories to the main traffic flows. The reader may also refer to [3] (PhD thesis, in french) for more details. In [1], these algorithms – an A∗ algorithm for the sequential strategy, and an evolutionary algorithm for the global optimization – were tried on a toy problem, and th...

In recent years, the tremendous and increasing growth of spatial trajectory data and the necessity of processing and extraction of useful information and meaningful patterns have led to the fact that many researchers have been attracted to the field of spatio-temporal trajectory clustering. The process and analysis of these trajectories have resulted in the extraction of useful information whic...
متن کاملOptimizing B-splines using Genetic Algorithms Applied to Air-traffic Conflict Resolution
Conflict resolution has always been a sensitive matter in air-traffic management. Current European projects aim partial or total automation of air traffic control to deal with the constant growth of air traffic. Technological advances on flight management system allows us to consider an automatic conflict resolution using continuous trajectories. In this paper, we present a new methodology that...
متن کامل[en-023] Mathematical Models for Aircraft Trajectory Design : a Survey
Air traffic management ensure the safety of flight by optimizing flows and maintaining separation between aircraft. After giving some definitions, some typical feature of aircraft trajectories are presented. Trajectories are objects belonging to spaces with infinite dimensions. The naive way to address such problem is to sample trajectories at some regular points and to create a big vector of p...
متن کاملMethod of Video-Measurements of Traffic Flow Characteristics at a Road Junction
In the theory of traffic flows the main characteristics are: intensity, speed, and density. They make it possible to use hydrodynamic models. In connection with the development of modern highways and road networks, traffic flows behavior is becoming more and more complex and diverse. In particular, the B.Kerner studies have shown that the laminar solution of hydrodynamic models is poorly corre...
