“…The authors have found several papers [12,13,14] dealing with the cascade structure of flows merging in some sense, however, in the authors' opinion, none of them suggests a method for a strict mathematical formalization of the cascade merge problem in a quite general setting. In particular, in [12], a situation of sequential forming of the aircraft ensemble is considered.…”

“…With that, these points are considered independent, and the safety of the schedule is checked only at runways. Paper [14] deals with a two-stage merging scheme (some groups of original flows are merged at some points, and then the resultant flows are joined at the final merge point). However, the safety of the schedule at the final merge point is just postulated, not exactly justified.…”

Nowadays, the problem of safe aircraft flows merging is considered usually as one-stage. However, real air-route schemes assume often a tree-like structure when primary flows are merged at some points and the resultant flows are merged further. In this case, the safety of merging should be controlled not only at the final point, but also at some intermediate ones. With that, aircraft can change their order between these merge points by means of usage of holding areas and/or path alignments. In this paper, the authors suggest a mixed integer linear programming formalization of such a problem. The suggested procedure is realized as a computational program with the optimization Gurobi library. Results of numerical simulations are presented.
