Fast-time Simulation Studies of Terminal-area Spacing and Merging Concepts
نویسنده
چکیده
Advances in aircraft automation, air traffic control automation, communication, and surveillance systems provide the means for more efficient future Air Traffic Management (ATM). ATM systems that effectively leverage these technologies could conceivably help airlines save fuel and reduce noise and delays while also improving safety. Designing such systems, however, poses a considerable challenge to the ATM research community.

Air and Ground Simulation of Terminal-area Fms Arrivals with Airborne Spacing and Merging
A combined air and ground simulation of terminal-area arrival operations was conducted at NASA Ames Research Center to evaluate Distributed Air Ground Traffic Management (DAG-TM) project Concept Element 11 (CE 11): Terminal Arrival: SelfSpacing for Merging and In-trail Separation. The simulation was the final DAG-TM study conducted at NASA Ames with funding from the NASA Airspace Systems Progra...
متن کاملOptimal arrival traffic spacing via dynamic programming∗
We present the application of dynamic programming to a combinatorial optimization problem to achieve proper arrival runway spacing, which appears in the process of assigning speed during the transition to approach and approach phases of flight. We apply the algorithm to data from a fast-time simulation developed under NASA’s Advanced Air Transportation Technologies Project for investigating new...
متن کاملNear-to-mid Term Solution for Efficient Merging of Aircraft on Uncoordinated Terminal Rnav Routes
It is anticipated that controllers will continue to vector traffic for spacing in the near term where there are Required Navigation Performance (RNP) area navigation (RNAV) routes that merge prior to the final approach or on the final approach. Under moderate to heavy demand, this will negate many of the efficiency, throughput, and predictability benefits of keeping aircraft on the RNP RNAV rou...
متن کاملApplications of a Terminal Area Flight Path Library
Air traffic operations in a Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON), the airspace surrounding a busy commercial airport, are quite dynamic. As arrival flights approach their landing runways, air traffic controllers apply speed, altitude, and heading directives to effect safe and orderly merging of converging air traffic flows. In some simulation models involving air traffic movement, a simplif...
متن کاملFault tolerant nano-satellite attitude control by adaptive modified nonsingular fast terminal control
In this paper, an adaptive fault tolerant nonlinear control is proposed for attitude tracking problem of satellite with three magnetorquers and one reaction wheel in the presence of inertia uncertainties, external disturbances, and actuator faults. Firstly, sliding surface variable is chosen based on avoiding the singularity of control signal and guaranteeing the convergence of attitude trackin...
