Abstract
This study investigates the effects on optimal merging trajectories due to the trade-off between fuel consumption and terminal time. The merging optimization method that simultaneously optimizes arrival trajectories and the sequence of aircraft has the potential to improve future decision support systems for air traffic control. In previous work, the merging optimization method minimized only the total fuel consumption. However, the total flight time must also be minimized in order to mitigate airport congestion. There is the trade-off between minimizing the total fuel consumption and total flight time. Numerical simulations are performed to show the variation of the optimal arrival sequence as a result of this trade-off.
