The continuation in part patent application of U.S. patent application serial number 13/032,176 co-pending, the content of described U.S. Patent application is to draw
Mode is incorporated in this specification.
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to the method and system for managing air traffic.More particularly, the present invention relate to excellent
Change the method and system that air traffic control operates and make air traffic loss of efficiency to minimize, and include by including carrying
Front cruise decline (early cruise descent) as bear by one or more aircraft miss it/they make a reservation for
The time of advent (STA) and the time delay that causes and be used for managing the method and system of the time schedule reaching aircraft.
Background technology
Manage the time schedule of aircraft arriving at the airport close to it be by air traffic control execute important
Air traffic control task.It is important that being delivered to arrival meter in the range of the Tolerance Parameters near STA by reaching aircraft
Amount orientation (arrival meter fix), despite the presence of the interference from weather impact and other air traffics.In modern wireless air
In traffic, the single rack aircraft missing its STA will have downstream air traffic impact, potentially include and miss landing slot.
Accurate 4 D trajectory (4DT) in space (latitude, longitude, highly) and time enables air traffic control to comment
Estimate the Future Positions of air traffic and aircraft.These parameters also can be used for the purpose of progress control by air traffic control,
To be changed by longitudinal direction (velocity variations), laterally (flight path extends or shortens) or vertical (reduce cruising altitude and reduce speed)
Become and to bear the time of advent that air traffic postpones and changes downstream air traffic.At present, velocity variations and flight path are horizontal
It is used for bearing time delay to the combination changing.
As this specification uses, track be aircraft from fly to landing three-dimensional position time series, and energy
Enough to be described with mathematical way.By contrast, flight plan is to be submitted to from pilot or airliner dispatcher to civil aviation mangement department
A series of document, including this category information of such as homeposition and in-position, departure time and the time of advent, described information
Can be used for providing by air traffic control (ATC) and follow the tracks of and route selection service.Track is realize expected flight plan one
The mode of kind, has the uncertainty of time and position.
Operation (TBO) based on track is the important composition portion of the advanced Air Traffic System realized in the near future
Point, including single Europe sky ATM research (SESAR) of U.S. next generation's air transport system (NextGen) and Europe.TBO
Concept provides basis for improved airspace operation efficiency.The trajectory synchronization realized in TBO and negotiation also make airspace users (include
Airliner operator, airliner dispatcher, airliner deck hand, unmanned air line and military user) can be periodically with close to them
The track of preferred trajectories is flying, so that including fuel and time efficiency, wind-force best route select and weather relative trajectory
The business goal of change can be attached in TBO concept.Therefore, numerous studies have been enter into developing the system framework realizing TBO and
Technology.
The overall goal of TBO is to reduce by using the 4DT in above-mentioned room and time and aircraft future
The uncertainty that the prediction of position is associated.4DT accurate using significantly reducing the current location determining aircraft and not
Come position and the uncertainty of the track with respect to the time, and include when aircraft arrives at the airport close to it, prediction flies
Row device arrive at arrival metering orientation (geographical position, also referred to as metering orientation, arrival bearing or corner post (cornerpost)) when
Between ability.Currently, air traffic control depends on " control based on gap " system, and this depends on to aircraft current location
Observation, be usually not further understood that the track of aircraft.Generally, this leads to aircraft flight to pass through air traffic control
Determination and not the route of aircraft preferred trajectories.Switch to TBO and will enable aircraft along the preferred track of user
Flight.
In TBO, user preference determines the selection carrying out in traffic operating in the air.More properly, aerial vehicle trajectory and
Operating process is the direct result of the business goal of aircraft operators.The basic element of these business goals is cost index
(CI), described cost index is time cost (cost is per minute) and the fuel cost (every kilogram of cost) of aloft aircraft
Ratio.The CI of aircraft determines its optimum flight speed and track, and is atmospheric condition, aircraft performance ability and track
Function, and be almost unique therefore for each flight.In addition, the factor of such as speed and height is not necessarily with increase
CI and linearly increase.So, in ground simulation, the calculating of CI is difficult.
Currently, air traffic controller maintains traffic mould by focusing first on the separation between safety and aircraft
Formula.Form this quasi-mode in the case of being not concerned with preferred aerial vehicle trajectory, and such air traffic controller does not make and exerting
Power is come cost-effective for aircraft operators.It has been observed that in this case, more cost-effective its can be carried out
He changes feasible trajectory.Determine that the optimization required for preferred trajectories is not possible be by people operator or traffic with calculating most probable
Controller is carried out, and needs to be provided by computer system.In such a scenario, computer will be excellent for people operator's offer
Select track option, described people operator subsequently will be selected from a series of possible tracks.
For making TBO effectively work, need the accumulation to the track data from associated aircraft and compiling.User is excellent
Select track (aircraft operators those tracks the most desired) may often collide with one another, be especially no longer based on the sky in gap
In middle traffic system.Although TBO will improve efficiency, it must process track and traffic conflict.Trajectory negotiation determines multiple flying
The track requirements of row device or intention, and attempt to form the solution meeting user preference as much as possible and better profit from
Available spatial domain.Such a trajectory negotiation depends on aerial vehicle trajectory data and the decision-making of people and trajectory parameters to select.
Currently, the cross directional variations of flight path and velocity variations are used for bearing air traffic flight delays.However, institute's phase
That hopes is whether descending trajectory change in advance can be used for bearing the flight delays of air traffic.US National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA) Ames Research Center is NASA's
Air route declines in consulting (En-Route Descent Advisor, EDA), by using experienced airway traffic control center
(Air Route Traffic Control Center, ARTCC) department controller carries out man-in-the-loop simulation experiment (human-
In-the-loop simulation experiment), have studied the feasibility using height change (decline) advisory capactiy,
As disclosed in AIAA navigational guidance control conference, entitled " the middle cruising altitude that decline arrival continuous to Lothrus apterus
Impact (the Impacts on Intermediate Cruise-Altitude Advisory for Conflict-Free of consulting
Continuous-Descent Arrival) " paper in reported, on August 8th, 2011, Portland, Oregon, USA.
In the continuous track declining or declining in advance, aircraft than in standard trajectory will more much earlier to dally or to connect
Nearly idle thrust setting begins to decline.By starting earlier slowly to decline in flight path, can bear time delay and
Less fuel can be consumed.Figure 1 illustrates the elementary contour of descending trajectory in advance.The aircraft following descending trajectory in advance is permissible
Continuously drop to and specify metering position of orientation or drop to middle lower height, thus allowing aircraft to fly with slower speed
To bear flight delays and less fuel may to be consumed.
When must endure as the time delay of air traffic, declining maneuvering flight (maneuver) in advance can be provided better than right
The obvious cost advantage of the horizontal or velocity variations of aerial vehicle trajectory.However, air traffic safety is met by determination limiting
Preferred trajectories, bear suitable delay and save material and most possibly surmount the computing capability of people controller, especially in people
Controller be absorbed in and prevent air traffic conflict in the case of.Therefore, it is necessary to make system be in appropriate location, described position
Can determine may include and decline one preferred trajectories of maneuvering flight or some preferred trajectories in advance, and be then able to can will order
The people controller that order is transmitted to aircraft pilots provides these tracks.Traffic conflict in the air needs aircraft maneuver to hold
In the case of time delay, the track of the simply horizontal and vertical change providing better than aerial vehicle trajectory is selected by this system
, still recognize air-traffic safety and the operation restriction causing due to surrounding traffic simultaneously.
U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2009/0157288 attempts to solve the problems, such as similar, but by the participation in solution
Person (actor) is limited to single aircraft.Aircraft only receives the time delay factor from air traffic control, and independent of next
From any extraneous information of ground system, determine best trajectory modification to meet this time delay.
Although information and decision-making can be made to be directed entirely to aircraft or ground system, exist in any one of these methods
Accuracy to information and the restriction of availability.Generally, such calculating is depending on the whole air traffic bar near aircraft
Part, and the result of therefore these decision-makings is not isolated to aircraft.

Specific embodiment
The present invention is provided to management is close to the progress control system and method for the air traffic arriving at the airport.According to this
Bright preferred aspect, the aircraft in spatial domain is equipped with the aerial vehicle trajectory determining solo hop device and flight special cost data
Aircraft on flight management system (FMS), described solo hop device is provided with flight management system on described aircraft.
In the coverage at progress control system traffic control in the air (ATC) center from the FMS of aircraft receive aerial vehicle trajectory and
Flight special cost data, the ground system of described air traffic control center is equipped with decision support tool (DST).Aerial friendship
Logical control system is along one or more metering azimuthal point (the meter fix going to the one or more paths arriving at the airport
Point) place determines the specified time of arrival (STA) of aircraft, and if any aircraft misses its STA and thus right
Time delay forced by other aircraft one or more flying to described metering azimuthal point, then DST uses other (delays) to fly
The aerial vehicle trajectory of row device and flight special cost data are prolonged in one or more times of bearing determining aerial vehicle trajectory change
Whether aspect is favourable late.If suitably, such a determination can be transferred to the flight of delay by air traffic controller
Device.
According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, flight special cost information is generated and provided to DST by aircraft and is analyzed.
Based on existing computing capability, DST is preferably based on a part for the computer system on ground and is not on aircraft.
This provides bigger data storage and disposal ability it is contemplated that DST can have much bigger size, is designed for being arranged on room
Between or building in, and be not located in aircraft cabin.DST based on ground is also provided for traffic control system in the air
Under control, compiling is from the more preferable medium of the input data of multiple aircraft.It is noted that this embodiment of the present invention provides promoting
Enter the ability of the progress of air traffic control, specifically so that adapt to following will be all for the advanced Air Traffic System implemented
As the operation (TBO) based on track, develop including NextGen and SESAR.So, DST is designed for flying not only by one
Row device works, but is worked by aircraft different in a large number, track, position and time restriction.
Reach manager (AMAN) and be generally used for the arrival program with calculating aircraft on concrete airport for the crowded spatial domain.Enter
The computer system of degree management system can be built at certain using aircraft Monitoring Data and/or from the prediction locus of aircraft
The program of the aircraft that individual point (being typically situated in the metering orientation of terminal airspace boundary) reaches.Now, this function is by joining
The traffic administration consultant (TMA) of aviation office of nation executes in the U.S., and other AMAN are used in the world.Generally, the present invention
Can be using reaching program instrument, described arrival program instrument is based on aircraft data and monitors aircraft and calculate arrival
Aircraft reaches order and the STA in metering orientation.Although most of current programs are calculated using prerequisite variable algorithm
STA, but there are much different replacement progress meter apparatus, preferably service optimal program including equipment.On the other hand, DST
It is for producing the consulting instrument substituting track, the aircraft that described replacement track reaches after enabling executes exactly and carries
Front descending trajectory (this may result in speed to reduce), described descending trajectory will be winged according to reaching after being directed to by computer system in advance
Aircraft is delivered to metering orientation by the delay STA that row device calculates.
The enforcement of progress control system as the present invention and the non-limiting examples of operation, Fig. 2 represents near airports
The air traffic conflict occurring, two of which aircraft is arrived at the travel pattern on airport simultaneously.In the scene with reference to Fig. 2 description
Down it is necessary to make an aircraft (figure 2 illustrates) postpone, so that another aircraft (not shown) can initially enter friendship
Logical pattern and sufficient amount of space can be provided between aircraft.Although air traffic controller only may require that delay flies
Row device reduces its cruising speed or only makes another simple track change, and do so can for aircraft operators
Can not be the most cost-effective or highly desirable.In progress control system, provide the sky with the computer system based on ground
Middle traffic control system, the described computer system based on ground enters in each aircraft and is just supervised by air traffic control system
Depending on spatial domain when monitor the 4D (highly, horizontal route and time) track (4DT) of each aircraft.Suitably equipped with airborne FMS
The aircraft of (or, for example, data communication (DataComm) system) directly can provide this information to computer system.Specifically
For, much advanced FMS can calculate 4DT data exactly, and described 4DT data can use CPDLC, ADS-C or aircraft
Another data communication mechanism and air traffic control system between or another digital switch from airliner dispatcher
Exchange with computer system.
For each aircraft monitoring in spatial domain, the computer system being associated with air traffic control system is directed to and flies
At least one the metering orientation of arrival (destination) the airport association that row device is shared calculates Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA).Make multiple
The ETA of aircraft is stored with queue form, and described queue is the data storage cell that can be accessed by computer system and its DST
A part.In the scene with reference to Fig. 2 description, the wherein first aircraft (not shown) initially enters travel pattern, and this leads to separately
One aircraft (figure 2 illustrates) postpones, and computer system execution calculates infers or descending information based on from aircraft
Determine the ETA of the first aircraft and the suitable time delay postponing aircraft.
By using 4DT, flight special cost data and be optionally based on from postpone aircraft obtain aircraft behaviour
The parameter of the commercial object of work person selects, and computer system calculates some possible replacement tracks using DST, and these substitute rail
Mark can make delay aircraft fully postpone and solve traffic conflict, save also by possibly starting to decline in advance simultaneously
About aircraft operating cost.In this case, by using suitable ATCo interface (such as figure/user interface), in the air
Traffic control personnel can select one (potentially include in advance decline) in the possible track recommended from DST and to postponing flight
Device forwards this request.So, people still can make decision the track of change of flight device, but DST pass through to calculate and recommend can
To promote more preferable operating efficiency including the one or more more cost-effective solution shifting to an earlier date descending trajectory.Once under
The request of fall track by delay aircraft record (" Pilot Check ") and implements (" 4DT "), and air traffic control system just may be used
Continue to monitor aerial vehicle trajectory in accordance with described request.If necessary and possible, ETA can be updated by air traffic control system
Metering orientation to each aircraft being stored in data queue memory.
As shown in Figure 2, progress control system can be implemented to reference to initial and final scheduling horizon
(scheduling horizon) is operated.Initial scheduling horizon is space horizon, is that the entrance of each aircraft is given
The position in spatial domain (for example, the spatial domain in about 200 nautical miles (370.4km) arriving at the airport).ATM system monitors the position of aircraft
Once putting and aircraft entering initial scheduling horizon, that is, it is triggered.(also referred to as STA freezes Horizon in final scheduling horizon
Line) it is to be limited by specific arrival time measurement orientation.STA freezes horizon and can be defined as less than in future or be equal to (such as) two
Aircraft metering orientation ETA of ten minutes.Once aircraft freezes horizon through STA, its STA keeps constant, progress pipe
Reason system is triggered, and makes any to meet time maneuvering flight by uplink to aircraft to execute by progress control system
DST design one of replacement track.
Schematically show the elementary contour of the descending trajectory in advance postponing aircraft in FIG, it proves that aircraft leaves
Beginning, it is much earlier in standard trajectory to decline (for example, in idle running or under idle thrust setting) ratio.By in flight path
In start too much early slowly to decline, bear time delay and in a preferred embodiment, consume less fuel.Aircraft is permissible
Continue to drop to and specify metering position of orientation or drop to middle lower height, thus allowing aircraft to fly with slower speed
To bear flight delays and to consume less fuel.
When must endure as the time delay of air traffic, progress control system that is Fig. 1 shown type and passing through Fig. 2
The maneuvering flight of decline in advance becoming possible can provide excellent better than horizontal or velocity variations the explicit costs of aerial vehicle trajectory
Gesture.The experimental evaluation producing the present invention includes the simulation to the following：The type of aircraft of multiple Boeing-737 models, wind speed
Contour line and meet time target, includes creating drafting in the time delay data using graphical representation in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4
The simulation of prediction fuel cost.Graphical representation in Fig. 3 is between the height change degree born needed for certain time delay
Relation, decline in advance in maneuvering flight from metering azimuthal point give with a certain distance from.Although fuel uses under the conditions of permanent wind
Suppression ratio of cruising in advance is stretched for corresponding path generally higher, but observe the presence of non-permanent wind field, because with
Path at high height is stretched and is compared, it may be possible to provide significantly saving of fuel.Also developed the framework based on cost coefficient, institute
State framework and can support that best-fit time schedule manages the calculating based on ground of maneuvering flight.In the 30th digital aviation electricity
The Torres of subsystem meeting (day in October, 2011 16-20) et al. " is managed by the track that user preference drives
(Trajectory Management Driven by User Preferences) " discusses the discussion of such a framework, institute
The religious doctrine with regard to such a framework that review is stated is herein incorporated by reference in this specification.
The cost of operation flight can resolve into fuel cost and other directly and time correlation cost, including but do not limit
In group member's wage, craft preservation, passenger and freight logistics and depreciation of capital.The preferred embodiments of the present invention are related to from aircraft
Airborne FMS deduct and operate effectively cost.Suitable mechanism for calculating and evaluation operation cost can include cost index,
As discuss above and in Torres.Such calculating of given aircraft and assessment are likely located in aircraft itself,
Because data storage and hardware requirement necessary to process are much not as good as required by the DST based on the system on ground.Pending
Information will depend upon or directly related to given aircraft, this is monitored by given air traffic control center with substantially belonging to
All aircraft in air traffic form comparison.Described mechanism subsequently makes described information can be used for (coming downwards to) air traffic
Control system and its DST.
As described above, Torres contains the discussion to the framework based on cost coefficient, described framework can be supported optimum full
Sufficient time schedule manages the calculating based on ground of maneuvering flight, is calculated by institute's review and flies in response to missing the relatively early of its STA
Row device determines the STA of the new cost optimization of aircraft.Generally, with regard to speed, transverse path change (change in path length) or
For the change of cruising altitude, such a framework is related to calculate various types of variable costss of its current planning track
The aircraft of (with respect to current planning track or absolute cost).Described cruising altitude change is most likely to be subtracting of cruising altitude
Little to reduce speed, although the increase of cruising altitude is likely to be suitable, for example, if the powerful contrary wind at high height can
Lead to overall time delay, described overall time delay disclosure satisfy that because more early aircraft misses its STA becomes necessary
The rear STA of aircraft.This cost information is made to transmit the DST to ground (possibly as the cost coefficient from aircraft
Collection).
In view of the foregoing, cost information be determined for specific process and change be whether stretch with (such as) path or
Another maneuvering flight is compared, and meets the more effective way of program.The non-limiting examples that such a process changes will
It is optimum descending trajectory in advance for the new STA meeting aircraft, particular instance is because more early aircraft misses
Its STA and become necessary rear STA.The available information that aircraft provides is compiled in more useful instrument DST.If
A part of TBO is more early described, and DST produces and compiles information, trajectory negotiation can occur by described information, and according to
Described information, DST preferably produces some possible replacement tracks, and one or more can be preferred by aircraft operators
And/or it is suitable for the restriction of existing Traffic Environment.DST is intended to provide to one or more people users by suitable interface
All available flying qualities and preferred trajectories and promote preferably using spatial domain and meet airborne vehicle user's preferred trajectories,
Described interface allows user to make decision based on track and potential extraneous information.
By the access of the STA to the aircraft being managed, DST can be based on prediction aerial vehicle trajectory come calculating aircraft
ETA.If the ETA of aircraft is early than its STA, need to bear time delay.On the contrary, if the ETA of aircraft is later than it
STA, then need to make aircraft shift to an earlier date in time.Velocity variations (single speed command or time are contemplated that based on the DST on ground
Limit, such as require the time of advent (RTA)), transverse path stretch or shortcut and/or cruising altitude change various combinations.By under
The cost face that row cost coefficient is constituted be used for assessing and select aircraft meet time maneuvering flight, and it is highly preferred that
Reach metering orientation and meet and during STA, aircraft is looked best and most preferably meet time maneuvering flight.
In view of the foregoing, present invention realization cruise in advance declines conduct and is set as can use for air traffic controller
Feasible option a part, thus expand for meet time schedule management option setting.This also increases speed change
Change the available degree of freedom beyond stretching with path, thus allowing preferably to identify the no punching meeting opportunity requirement in crowded spatial domain
Prominent track.Utilize wider option setting and for calculating the device of the cost associating with each option it is contemplated that and expiring
Sufficient aircraft commercial object.
Although the present invention is described with regard to some embodiments, it will be apparent that those skilled in the art can make
Use other forms.Correspondingly it should be appreciated that the invention is not restricted to the specific embodiment described in this specification.Therefore, the present invention
Scope is not limited except as by the appended claims.
