Trajectory-Based Co-Optimization of Arrival Scheduling and Descent Path Design in the Terminal Maneuvering Area
Yutian Pang, John-Paul Clarke
Terminal arrival scheduling and descent procedure design are studied in two largely separate literatures. Scheduling models reduce each aircraft to a travel time and deliver target…
Optimal TRACON Descent Procedures under Wind Uncertainty and Fuel Savings Factors
Yutian Pang, John-Paul Clarke
A terminal-area descent procedure need to perform across the wind climatology rather than a single wind condition. Although flight demonstrations of the delayed deceleration approa…
An Analytical Methodology for Quantifying Airspace Conflict Rate and Complexity
Andrew P. Kendall, John-Paul Clarke
Air traffic growth, advanced air mobility, and increasingly autonomous operations are driving the need for scalable and adaptive airspace design methodologies. Central to this chal…
Trajectory-Based Optimization for Air Traffic Control in the Terminal Maneuvering Area
Yutian Pang, Daniel Delahaye, John-Paul Clarke
We present a trajectory-based optimization framework for arrival sequencing and scheduling in the terminal maneuvering area (TMA). Unlike node-link scheduling models that reduce tr…
