An Aggregate Flow Model for Air Traffic Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
Traditionally, models used in air traffic control and flow management are based on simulating the trajectories of individual aircraft. This approach results in models with a large number of states, which are intrinsically susceptible to errors and difficult for designing and implementing optimal strategies for traffic flow management. This paper outlines an innovative approach for the development of linear time variant dynamic traffic flow system models based on historical data about the behavior of air traffic. The resulting low-order, linear, robust models can be used both for the analysis and synthesis of traffic flow management techniques for current and future systems.

Evaluating a New Formulation for Large-Scale Traffic Flow Management
In this paper, we introduce a new aggregate air traffic flow management model. Our integer programming model uses as a starting point the model recently introduced by Bertsimas, Lulli and Odoni. It employs a new set of more general airspace constructs that allow both more complex airspace elements to be represented as well as more aggregate-level modeling. We provide experimental results that i...

متن کاملComparison of Linear Dynamic Models for Air Traffic Flow Management
Traditionally, models used in air traffic flow management are based on simulating the trajectories of individual aircraft. While practical, this approach does not offer any insights into the dynamics of the traffic flow. Recently, two different approaches, (1) aggregate traffic model approach and (2) Eulerian model approach, have been presented to generate linear dynamic models that represent t...
متن کاملTraffic Flow Management Using Aggregate Flow Models and the Development of Disaggregation Methods
A linear time-varying aggregate traffic flow model can be used to develop Traffic Flow Management strategies based on optimization algorithms. However, there are no methods available in the literature to translate these aggregate solutions into actions involving individual aircraft. This paper describes and implements a computationally efficient disaggregation algorithm, which converts an aggre...
متن کاملThe Traffic Flow Management Rerouting Problem in Air Traffic Control: A Dynamic Network Flow Approach
We address the problem of determining how to reroute aircraft in the air traffic control system when faced with dynamically changing weather conditions. The overall objective of this problem is the minimization of delay costs. This problem is of primary concern in the European air traffic control system and in particular regions within the US air traffic control system. We present an integrated...
