Scalable Multidimensional Uncertainty Evaluation Approach to Strategic Air Traffic Flow Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
Convective weather events cause capacity reduction in the National Airspace System (NAS), and lead to traffic congestion. To mitigate congestion, strategic air traffic flow management plans traffic flows at a long look-ahead time (2-15 hour). Planning at this timeframe is challenging, due to the wide possibility of weather events and requirement for real-time management. To conquer these challenges, we need an approach to quickly assess the impact of predicted weather events on the performance of air traffic system. In this paper, we use a scalable multidimensional uncertainty evaluation approach, called M-PCM-OFFD, to address this problem. Simulation studies show the effectiveness of this approach for the performance evaluation of air traffic system. In addition, we investigate further capability of M-PCM-OFFD through exploring higher-level OFFDs. Finally, we introduce an uncertainty-exploiting framework to enable real-time strategic air traffic management under weather uncertainty.

A Probabilistic Collocation Method-based Approach for Optimal Strategic Air Traffic Flow Management under Weather Uncertainties
This paper suggests an effective approach to design optimal strategic air traffic management strategies under weather uncertainty. The approach is based on the multivariate probabilistic collocation method, which constructs a good low-order polynomial approximation of the original system mapping over likely parameter values, from which optimal management strategies can be derived. We illustrate...

متن کاملA Jump-Linear Model based Sensitivity Study for Optimal Air Traffic Flow Management under Weather Uncertainty
In this paper, we develop an analytical approach to planning air traffic flow management (TFM) strategies under uncertain weather. To do that, we model the dynamics of an air traffic flow under uncertain weather as a discrete jump-linear system, which enacts the tracking of transient traffic congestion statistics. We then conduct a sensitivity analysis of traffic congestion to disturbances intr...
