Abstract

Substantial increase in the amount of civil aviation traffic and other factors have led to frequent congestion and adverse effects in terminal area. Therefore, the landing sequence of aircrafts need to be managed so as to reduce adverse effects. This type of problem is called Aircraft Landing Problem (ALP), and is an optimization problem. In this paper, the current situation of ALP research is analysed. The specific process of landing is described, and the existing research problems are classified. At the same time, on the aspect of optimization, this paper discusses the optimization processing of ALP, including the establishment of optimization model and the design of optimization algorithm. In the last, the future research trend of ALP is proposed as conclusions.

Highlights

  • With the growth of civil aviation transportation, numerous aircrafts need to land within a short time

  • Single runway problem (SRP) can be abstracted as a single server queue in queuing theory, and Multi-runway problem (MRP) can be abstracted as multiple servers queue, including sequencing and distribution

  • Fourth one is the maximal position shift constraint (MPS) and the relative position shift constraint (RPS). They refer to the range of aircrafts position shift relative to the original sequence and the last sequence. These constraints limit the range of movements to a certain extent, which can ensure that aircrafts will not be led to fuel exhaustion or affecting landing order, which relates to safety and performance

Summary

Introduction

With the growth of civil aviation transportation, numerous aircrafts need to land within a short time. Due to shortage of aviation resources, flights delay is caused, which resulting in reduced efficiency, economic losses and other adverse effects. Expanding the airport runway facility is limited by various factors, so the need for reasonable management of aircrafts to reduce the adverse effects increases. Such problem is called Aircraft Landing Problem (ALP), which is an important issue in air traffic control
