“…The PP problem that we aim to solve considers a flight plan for a given time period. The given data include: (1) an initial set of aircraft; (2) the flight time allocated to each aircraft at each segment; (3) the minimum allowed safe separation that should be imposed between aircraft. In addition, the initial velocity profile of aircraft is supposed to be optimal and they should also respect the standard departure/arrival procedures in the terminal maneuvering area.…”

“…Thus, the need for automatic tools to integrate air traffic controller work brings the issue of managing air traffic flow in such a way as to increase the airspace capacity. Consequently, how to optimize terminal maneuver area operation has became a meaningful problem [2,3] . In addition, many other measures can also be adopted to deal with this problem which motivates the terminal maneuver area optimization techniques in order to better utilize system resources [4] .…”

Determining conflict-free aircraft path that include uncertainty while efficiently using the available resource is critical for air transportation. However, many of these approaches assume perfect knowledge therefore the interference immunity of these methods is questionable. In this paper, we propose a anti-interference technique depend on the dynamic property of the path planning. Firstly, we propose a modeling approach to the problem of complete time for scheduled flights. Then, we discuss some cost criterions and demonstrate how they can be used to obtain optimal scheduling in a dynamic environment. Simulations results are shown to illustrate the model performance.

“…The task is stated as follows: to analyze the attitude towards different MWL levels for several academic groups of ATC students mastering the same curriculum in different higher educational institutions and different grades via their MWL self-estimation. MWL level was defined as a number of aircraft under the operator's control simultaneously (Goillau & Kelly, 1997) without defining the density type (Rahman et al, 2016). MWL esteems were decided to be taken as a continuous set on the range of aircraft under control.…”

Mental workload is a well-known concept with a long development history. It can be used to examine students’ attitudes at the end of the educational process and compare them in groups or separately. However, building a continuous workload profile across the range of task complexity increase is still an urgent issue. All four groups of methods used to define mental workload have such flaws for the workload profile construction process as significant time requirements, single value processing and post-processing of the received results. Only one of them can be used without modifications to construct the operator’s attitude chart (profile) regarding the workload range and it doesn’t operate with more reliable absolute values. To resolve this problem, a special workload assessment grid was developed, considering the advantages of a subjective group of methods and seven core characteristics. The reasoning for grid axes choice, threshold values, and question formulation were provided. Statistics were calculated for the full sample, different grades, and educational institutions. Comparison of the received responses with referential values, cross-comparison between institutions and different grades were performed. The results contribute to such important aspects of workload, as redlines, workload profiling, and operator’s comparison.

“…Due to the sustained growth of air traffic demand, how to optimize the operation in the terminal control area has been the main focus [1]. As a consequence, this inevitably causes the rise of human workload [2]. One one hand, many measures such as redesigning the involved sector and building new airport can be taken to solve this problem.…”

“…Regarding the complexity of the system matrices, A * is known to be O p 3 , the same complexity as A * (F ⊕ BKC). Similarly, the complexity of BKC is O pq 2 + p 2 q and it becomes O p 2 q for CA * F. Moreover, CA * BK has a complexity of O pq 2 + p 2 q + q 3 . The complexity of Eigen-value and Eigen-vector given in Theorem 1 are both O q 3 .…”

This paper studies the dynamic characteristics of the terminal control area described by the max-plus model, with emphasis on the influence of the system parameters on the system efficiency. The main contribution of this paper is to develop a method for analyzing and comparing possible configurations of terminal control area in an efficient manner, such as the effects of changing buffers sizes on the system performance. In addition, Eigen-model of the system model is also presented for analyzing the periodicity behavior of terminal control area. An example is given to illustrate the model performance and the developed method can provide effective support for decision making in possible reconfiguration improvements.
