文摘

Dynamics and Control technologies play a central role in the development and operation of decision support systems of modern air traffic management systems. Recent emergence of Global Navigation Satellite Systems and satellite-based augmentation systems have enabled higher precision execution of aircraft trajectories, opening-up the potential for the implementing more quantitative air traffic management approaches. Already, this navigation capability is enabling higher traffic through puts, and safer operation of aircraft in the proximity of the terrain at several major airports in the US. This paper discusses the aircraft trajectory optimization, conflict resolution algorithms, and traffic flow management problems which form the essential components of the evolving air traffic management system. It will be shown that Optimal Control Theory, Model Predictive Control and the Discrete Event Systems theory form the underlying analytical machinery in this domain. Finally, the paper will outline some of the algorithms for realizing the Trajectory Based Operations concept, currently being developed for future air traffic management.
