چکیده

Whenever traffic density becomes so critically high that it begins to jeopardize efficiency and safety, the answer lies in the ability to improve traffic coordination and movement precision. This study considers the surface-traffic problem at major airports, and establishes the possibility of highprecision taxi operations by applying state-of-the-art automatic control technologies. Due to the highspeed environment, high-precision taxi is most difficult on or across the runway, where such ability is also potentially most beneficial. In this study, a nonlinear guidance and control system is synthesized and its potential performance in high-precision taxi control is verified, including the ability to taxi continuously immediately after landing to cross an adjacent runway with the tightest of time margin.
