SHORT-TERM FLOW MANAGEMENT BASED ON DYNAMIC FLOW PROGRAMMING NETWORK

Abstract

It is a practical exigent problem for short-term flow management when air traffic congestion happens in a control area, and it is also an important subject of academic researches. By far, the good research is to set up dynamic programming model of flow management aiming to obtain optimal benefits. Then a dynamic programming management model is put forward in this paper to meet the practical condition of control, with a farther research having been done. In order to obtain the optimal solution of the model, a fast method is presented to lessen calculation by the setting of a threshold according to the operational demand of practical control. The model can obtain the optimal solution quickly and is fit for real-time dynamic management. The correctness and validity of the model and method is verified by simulation results.
