The concept of Receding Horizon Control (RHC) is introduced into Genetic
Algorithm (GA) in this paper to solve the problem of Arrival Scheduling and
Sequencing (ASS) at a busy hub airport. A GA based method is proposed for solving
the dynamic ASS problem, and the focus is put on the methodology of integrating the
RHC strategy into the GA for real-time implementations in a dynamic environment of
air traffic control (ATC). Receding horizon and terminal penalty are investigated in
depth as two key techniques of this novel RHC based GA. Simulation results show
that the new method proposed in this paper is effective and efficient to solve the ASS
problem in a dynamic environment.
