Modeling next Generation Air Traffic Control System with Petri Nets
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is one of the largest Air Navigation Service Providers, managing air traffic for more than 15% of the world’s airspace. Today’s Air Traffic Control (ATC) system cannot meet the growth of the air traffic activities, which brings with more unprecedented delays. At the same time, Air Traffic Controllers are facing higher workload than ever before. The FAA has declared that the existing ATC system will transition to a new system known as “Free Flight”. “Free Flight” will change today’s ATC system by giving pilots increased flexibility to choose and modify their routes in real time, thereby reducing cost and increasing system capacity. In this work, the modules and data flow of the next generation ATC system is designed, and their Petri net models are constructed for the control module to achieve “Free Flight”.

Modeling of Continuous Systems Using Modified Petri Nets
Due to the changes which may occur in their parameters, systems are usually demonstrated by some subsystems for different conditions. This paper employs Modified Petri Nets (MPN) to model theses subsystems and makes it simple to analyze them. In this method, first, the continuous transfer function is converted to a discrete transfer function and then, by MPN, system is modeled and analyzed. All...
متن کاملUsing Interval Petri Nets and Timed Automata for Diagnosis of Discrete Event Systems (DES)
A discrete event system (DES) is a dynamic system that evolves in accordance with the abrupt occurrence, at possibly unknown irregular intervals, of physical events. Because of the special nature of these systems, different tools are currently used for their analysis, design and modeling. The main focus of this paper is the presentation of a new modeling approach of Discrete Event Systems. The ...
متن کاملA Formal Petri Net Based Model for Antivirus Update Agent System
In this paper, a formal model for antivirus update agent system is presented based on mobile agent technology and predicate/transition Petri nets. The mobile agent system contains two mobile agents called DCA and UNA. It sends out agents to update antivirus on client computers in a network. Each agent takes on a specified responsibility. First, DCA roams through the network and check the last d...

متن کاملHybrid Time Delay Petri Nets as a Mathematical Novel Tool to Model Dynamic System with Current Sample Time
The existing modeling methods using Petri Nets, have been successfully applied to model and analyze dynamic systems. However, these methods are not capable of modeling all dynamic systems such as systems with the current sample time signals, systems including various subsystems and multi-mode systems. This paper proposes Hybrid Time Delay Petri Nets (HTDPN) to solve the problem. In ...
