“…These constraints are important in preventing conflict during sequencing. Constraint (13) states that if a node (entry point, waypoint or merge point) is used by the leading aircraft at a certain time t, the following aircraft cannot use that node during the minimum separation time within the specified wake turbulence separation minima. Constraint (14) ensures that if any waypoint on the sequencing leg is used by an aircraft for a specific time (for turning to the merge point), the other routes to the merge point are also used from the same time, with this aircraft leaving that node and heading to the merge point.…”

“…On the other hand, although the PMS implementation started in the 2010s, the concept and theoretical studies related to merging date to late 1990s. Numerous studies regarding the sequencing of the PMS have been conducted by Hong et al [11], Lee et al [12], Yannan et al [13], Christien et al [14], Toratani and Itoh [15] and proposed an optimal and practical sequencing and scheduling algorithm to increase the capacity in handling inbound traffic through the PMS and to support the decision-making process of air traffic controllers. In addition, Lee et al [12] recommended an optimal scheduling algorithm of the PMS, also considering a holding pattern based on a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP).…”

This study proposes a new operational concept of the Point Merge System, called Multi-Arrival Route Point Merge System (MAR-PMS), which is an air traffic control method used to sequence aircraft arrivals in a given terminal control area. The proposed concept enables the additional arrival routes that have an angular difference to each sequencing leg. Furthermore, a time-indexed 0-1 linear programming model is formulated. The obtained results are validated in a real time simulation. The comparison results of PMS and MAR-PMS show that the average reduction of 19% of total flight time, 23% of total flight distance, and 19% in total fuel burned and reduction in CO2 emissions in favor of a proposed concept.

“…Chao et al [15] evaluated the static capacity and descending gradient of the point merge procedure. In addition, Qi et al [16] introduced the point merge approach convergence method based on the tactical level of current communication, navigation, and surveillance technology. In terms of security, Zhao and Lei [17] proposed the design method of the protected area according to the characteristics of the fan-shaped area in point merge procedure.…”

With the rapid development of the air transport industry, the problem of airspace congestion and flight delay in the terminal area (TMA) becomes more and more serious. In order to improve the efficiency of flight operations in TMA, point merge procedure had been devised. This paper takes the approach routes in TMA as the research object, taking into account such conditions as obstacle clearance, flight interval, and procedure area. Based on the flight time, fuel consumption, pollutant emission, and noise impact, an optimization model of point merge procedure is constructed. Genetic algorithm is used to optimize the structure of procedure. The Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport is selected for simulation verification, and the actual flow distribution of the airport is analyzed as an example. The results show that the average flight time was reduced by 0.26 min, the average fuel consumption was reduced by 1,240.64 kg, the average NOx emissions were reduced by 1.09 kg, and the noise impact range was contracted by 55 km2 after optimization. The point merge procedure optimization method can be expected to reduce the flight time, fuel consumption, and environmental impact of flights in TMA, so as to optimize the aircraft approach trajectory.
