Abstract
International audience; The increase in air traffic and the limited capacity of air traffic control services force us to think of a new way in which to control aircraft. An innovative ATM concept, called Sector-Less Air Traffic Management, has been defined by the Eurocontrol Experimental [...]Abstract
International audience; The resolution of conflicts between n aircraft is highly combinational and cannot be optimally solved using classical mathematical optimization techniques. Using a priority order to solve a n-aircraft conflict is much easier but the solution is not optimal. [...]Abstract
International audience; This paper presents a new method for 3D cutting of geometrical space with application to airspace sectoring. This problem comes from the air traffic management but the proposed method may be applied to many other areas. This problem consists in finding a cutting [...]Abstract
International audience; This paper addresses the classical graph partitioning problem applied to the air network. We consider an air transportation network with aircraft inducing a control workload. This network has to be partitioned into K balanced sectors for which the cutting flow [...]Abstract
International audience; Performance metrics in the air traffic management (ATM) community are becoming a strategic issue, and they are getting more and more attention. However, defining such metrics is a difficult problem. In this paper, we show how arithmetic simulations can be used [...]Abstract
International audience; This paper presents new concepts to address the air traffic complexity modeling problem. Two new geometrical metrics have been introduced and have been found very useful to capture typical features of traffic complexity. The covariance metric is very adapted [...]Abstract
International audience; This work is a twofold contribution to the analysis of conflict detection process in air traffic controllers (ATCos). The first one addresses methodological aspects and proposes a way to get responses as close as possible to controllers' actual expertise without [...]Abstract
International audience; The fast growth of air traffic that began during the 80's raises some questions about what future air traffic control (ATC) systems need to be. A major change will probably be required in Europe within a 30 year time frame. Fortunately, recent developments [...]
