Decentralized Air Traffic Management Systems: Performance and Fault Tolerance
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the advantages and disadvantages of a proposed decentralized Air Tra c Management (ATM) system, in which aircraft are allowed a larger degree of autonomy in deciding their route ("free ight") instead of following prespeci ed "sky freeways". A decentralized management scheme is described, which incorporates a hybrid control system switching among di erent optimal control solutions according to changes in the information structure between agents. The performance and robustness of this decentralization scheme is assessed by means of simulation trials, showing that, whereas optimality of plans is strictly nonincreasing, robustness to system failures is likely to improve.

Improving Air Traffic Management through Agent Suggestions ( Extended
Providing intelligent automation to manage the continuously increasing flow of air traffic is critical to the safety and economic viability of air transportation systems. However, current automated solutions leave existing human controllers “out of the loop” rendering the potential solutions both technically dangerous (e.g., inability to react to suddenly developing conditions) and politically ...

متن کاملAn Architectural Concept for Intrusion Tolerance in Air Traffic Networks
The goal of an intrusion tolerant network is to continue to provide predictable and reliable communication in the presence of a limited number of compromised network components. The behavior of a compromised network component ranges from a node that no longer responds to a node that is under the control of a malicious entity that is actively trying to cause other nodes to fail. Most current dat...
متن کاملA Recovery Method for the Robotic Decentralized Control System with Performance Redundancy
The fault of the robotic control system is critical and leads to the general system failure, while autonomous robots have to gain their aims without any maintenance. Contemporary academic studies propose decentralized control systems as prospective from the robustness point of view. On the other hand, a performance redundancy allows to optimize resource utilization and improve the fault-toleran...
متن کاملTowards Decentralized Management of Graceful Degradation in Distributed Embedded Systems
Graceful degradation entails a proportional loss of functionality or the reduction in the quality of services a system provides in response to faults. Compared to traditional techniques, graceful degradation is a promising approach to achieving fault tolerance at reduced cost. Current research using this approach in distributed embedded systems assumes a central management unit responsible for ...
