Enhancing Air traffic flow arrival management by optimizing speed profile: Casablanca Terminal Area Case study

Air traffic modeling and optimization by solving two new models with a modified algorithm

“…Determine the optimal permutation p that minimizes the time delay (order of landing based on the principle of scheduling [6]): p = 1 2 3 4 . Determine the permutation q (FCFS landing order [7]): q = 1 4 2 3 .…”

“…We observe that A 4 gets the landing order of A 2 by the FCFS order and A 2 gets the landing order of A 3 by the FCFS order and A 3 gets the landing order of A 4 by the FCFS order. Compute the estimated touchdown time test following the principle of scheduling (speed limitations) [6] with test i associated with A p(i) , test = 0.3250 0.3864 0.4511 0.5026 .…”

“…Compute the estimated touchdown time testv based on the scheduling (speed correction) principle [6] with test v i corresponding to A p(i) , by computing the percentages of the corrected speeds: testv = 0.2575 0.2915 0.3255 0.3595 .…”

“…With the adjusted speed percentage po(i; :) associated with A p(i) are: Compute the time delay R i and R v i expressed in hours of each A p(i) based on the scheduling principle with speed limitations and speed corrections [6]: Dsl = 0 0 0 0 .…”
