管制指示の速度調整による円滑な合流交通流の形成の試み

抄録

The feasibility of smooth merging of descent air traffic stream by air traffic controllers' instructions is investigated through numerical simulations. A flight route segment for precise aircraft interval control is especially focused in this paper. A fixed flight route is applied to improve the time interval estimation accuracy, and only the flight speed instruction is given to the aircraft. Even through a simplified traffic control algorithm, the feasibility of a precise interval control is demonstrated by numerical simulations. In addition, to assure the safety, a route structure is newly proposed to enable aircraft to maintain the safe distance even when the time interval becomes insufficient. Finally, the metering position is optimized so as to enable the air traffic controller to avoid the workload overconcentration.
