Aircraft Ground Traffic Optimization

چکیده
Air traffic growth and especially hubs development cause new significant congestion and ground delays on major airports. Accurate models of airport traffic prediction can provide new tools to assist ground controllers in choosing the best taxiways and the most adapted holding points for aircraft. Such tools could also be used by airport designers to evaluate possible improvements on airport configurations and airport structure. In this paper, a ground traffic simulation tool is proposed and applied to Roissy Charles De Gaulle and Orly airports. A global optimization method using genetic algorithms is compared to a 1-to-n strategy to minimize time spent between gate and runway, while respecting aircraft separation and runway capacity. In order to compare the efficiency of the different optimization methods, simulations are carried out on a one day traffic sample, and ground delay due to holding points or taxiway lengthening is correlated to the traffic density on the airport.

Iterative Planning of Airport Ground Movements
Abstract—Ground traffic optimization is a major issue of air traffic management: optimal ground circulation could decrease flight delays and consequently decrease costs and increase passenger wellness. This paper proposes a planning algorithm for ground traffic based on contract reservation. This algorithm is iterative: it plans aircraft itinerary one after the other. A first version is describ...
متن کاملGenetic algorithms applied to airport ground traffic optimization
Due to air traffic growth and especially hubs development, major European airports can easily become bottlenecks in the global air transportation network. Therefore, accurate models of airport traffic prediction become more and more necessary for ground controllers. In this paper, a ground traffic simulation tool is proposed and applied to Roissy Charles De Gaulle airport. Two global optimizati...
متن کاملNoise-Sensitive Final Approach Trajectory Optimization for Runway-Independent Aircraft
Runway-independent aircraft have been proposed to increase passenger throughput at crowded urban airports via the use of vertiports or stub runways. Simultaneous noninterfering (SNI) traffic procedures will minimize impact on existing fixed-wing traffic. This paper introduces a SNI trajectory generation algorithm that treats existing fixed-wing traffic corridors as impenetrable obstacles and op...

متن کاملTrajectory deconfliction with constraint programming
As acknowledged by the SESAR program, current ATC systems must be drastically improved to accommodate the predicted traffic growth in Europe. In this context, the Episode 3 project aims at assessing the performance of new ATM concepts, like 4D-trajectory planning and strategic deconfliction. One of the bottlenecks impeding ATC performances is the hourly capacity constraints defined on each en-r...
