Abstract
Purpose: Current global trends of air tra ffic growth cause the increasing of number of aircraft conflicts. The actual problem is a development of new methods for conflict resolution that should provide the synthesis of conflict-free trajectories in three-dimensional space according to different flight efficiency criteria. Methods: The problem of multi-objective resolution of potential conflict between two aircraft in three- dimensional space is considered. The method of multi- objective resolution of conflict between two aircraft using heading, speed and altitude change maneuvers has been developed. Described method provides the synthesis of conflict-free flight trajectory according to criteria of flight regularity, flight economy and the complexity of maneuvering based on dynamic programming. The continuous-time and discrete-time equations of multi-objective dynamic programming for det ermining the set of Pareto-optimal estimations of conflict-flight trajectories are shown. The synthesis of Pareto-optimal trajectories is carried out using the forward procedure of discrete multi-objective dynamic pr ogramming. The simulation of flight trajectories is performed using the special model of controlled ai rcraft motion. The selection of optimal conflict-free trajectory from the set of Pareto-optimal trajectories is carried out using the convolution of optimality criteria. Within described method, the following proce dures have been defined: for prediction of separation minima violations; for aircraft states and controls discret ization; for interpolation of trajectories efficiency estimations according to defined optimality criteria. Results: The analysis of the proposed method is performed using computer simulation which results show that computed optimal conflict-free trajectory ensures the conflict avoidance and complies with defined optimality criteria. Discussion: The main advantages of the method are: heading, speed and altitude change maneuvers are used for conflict avoidance; the multi-objective optimization of conflict- free trajectories is applied; the using of dynamic programming enhances the computatio nal efficiency. Proposed method can be used for development of advanced conflict resolution tools for auto mated air traffic control systems.
