Receding horizon control for aircraft arrival sequencing and scheduling.
Airports, especially busy hub airports, proved to be
the bottleneck resources in the air traffic control system. How
to carry out arrival scheduling and sequencing effectively and
efficiently is one of main concerns to improve the safety, capacity,
and efficiency of the airports. This paper introduces the
concept of receding horizon control (RHC) to the problem of
arrival scheduling and sequencing in a dynamic environment. The
potential benefits RHC could bring in terms of airborne delay
and computational burden are investigated by means of Monte
Carlo simulations. It is pointed out that while achieving similar
performance as existing schemes, the new arrival scheduling and
sequencing scheme significantly reduces the computational burden
and provides potential for developing new optimization algorithms
for further reducing airborne delay.
