Multi-Agent Technology for Air Traffic Control and Incident Management in Airport Airspace
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 openness and agent-based autonomy of air traffic control, social rules, distributed safety policy for conflict resolution, as well as predictive analysis and P2P interaction–based coordination of aircrafts' motion. The main results are validated by simulation.

Simulation of a Conflict Management System for Air Traffic Control
The Air Traffic Control (ATC) domain is concerned with controlling and monitoring air traffic from a source airport to a destination airport. A number of cooperating agents distributed throughout the ATC environment ensure that a safe, orderly and expenditious movement of traffic in airspace is achieved. Starting with a general discussion on the mechanics of ATC especially its operation, the pa...
متن کاملAn Agent Based Framework for Control of Merging Air-traffic
The paper presents an agent based framework for control of conflict-free scheduling and spacing of airport arrival and approach traffic. The proposed tool incorporates a multi-agent conflict-resolution algorithm that guarantees to arriving aircraft safe approach trajectories, and a dynamic prioritization mechanism that aids in efficient utilization of the available airspace and arrivals runway ...

Demand and capacity imbalances in the US national airspace are resolved using traffic management initiatives designed, in current operations, with little collaboration with the airspace users. NASA and its partners have developed a new collaborative concept of operations that requires the users and airspace service provider to work together to choose initiatives that better satisfy the business...

متن کاملInvestigation of the Potential Impacts of the Entry of Very Light Jets in the National Airspace System
Very Light Jets (VLJs) constitute a class of three to eight passenger turbofan-powered aircraft that will enter service in 2006 and will need to be integrated into the National Airspace System. An aircraft performance analysis showed similarities between the predicted performance and capability of Very Light Jets and the performance of existing Light Jets. Based on this an analysis of operating...
