Automatic Planning of Ground Traffic

Abstract

Ground traffic optimization is a major issue of air traffic management: optimal ground circulation could decrease flight delays and consequently decrease costs and increase passenger wellness. This paper proposes a planning algorithm for ground traffic based on contract reservation. It deals with time and speed uncertainty to ensure the feasability of the planned trajectories while avoiding conflicts between aircrafts. The algorithm efficiency is improved using pre-computed heuristics. The different algorithm versions are evaluated through simulations of a large european airport, namely the Frankfurt airport.
