Research on Situation Awareness of Airport Operation Based on Petri Nets

Abstract

The civil aviation industry is undergoing rapid development. However, the on-time rate of airport flights and passenger service quality are not particularly satisfying. The cause of the above problems is the contradiction between the limited operational support capability and the continuous growth of passenger traffic volume. Therefore, the key to solving these problems is achieving situation awareness of airport operation. Many situation awareness algorithms, typically categorized into modeling and machine learning, have been proposed in the past years. However, existing models lack flexibility and their prediction accuracy is unstable. Machine learning's results cannot be timely and effective when external conditions are suddenly changed although some related algorithms have higher accuracy because of the retraining of artificial neural network (ANN). This paper proposes a situation awareness method based on Petri nets (PNs). This method introduces the queuing theory and perceptual parameters into the existing PN and constructs the perceptual PNs' model for general service systems so that it can quickly model different scene service systems. In combination with the ANN, this paper proposes a complete situation awareness algorithm to realize a sustained and accurate situation awareness prediction of the service system by solving point estimations of the macroscopic and microscopic situation in this model, which helps to address some challenges faced by current civil aviation airports. By experimenting on-ground support in civil aviation airports and the access of website as well as comparing the situation separately with Airport Collaborative Decision Making and stochastic PNs, the validity and accuracy of the algorithm proposed in this paper are well verified.

Design of heterogeneous network security device management platform based on multi-source data

“…On the other hand, it sets a single threshold to judge most of the samples with short average path as normal. It has low complexity and memory requirements, saves computing power and has high detection speed [11].…”

Mechanism Analysis of the Impact of COVID-19 on the Whole Process of Aircraft Turnaround Operations

“…Terefore, the measurement of the turnaround time that refers to the sum of all the activities has been attracted attentions. Under the new coordination and communication mechanism of "Collaborative Decision Making (CDM)" [14], the availability of data on the whole turnaround process helps to apply more advanced methods such as optimization [15,16], neural network [17], Petri net [18], and machine learning [19] to predict the turnaround time. Te Critical Path Method (CPM), among the optimization methodologies has been applied to model the turnaround process [20,21].…”

A Conflict Risk Analysis of MAV\UAV Flight in Shared Airspace

“…The shared airspace refers to a controlled airspace where all aircraft, including UAVs and manned aerial vehicles (MAVs), can apply for use. For the further better development, new ATC technologies have been studied, such as trajectorybased operation (TBO), situation awareness (SA), and intelligent auxiliary decision-making (IADM) [5][6][7]. However, detecting future conflicts timely and accurately and providing effective relief strategies are the critical issues related to shared-airspace safety.…”
