Abstract

One of the decisive tasks within the air traffic management is the resolution of aircraft conflict avoidance problems. To avoid conflict, aircraft have to preserve a minimal safety distance between them. In this paper, we present optimal control models and approaches based on speed regulation to perform aircraft conflict avoidance. We consider some aircraft configurations with separable trajectories, i.e., such that trajectories of aircraft pairs exhibit conflict zones which are each other separated in terms of time and/or space. We propose a decomposition of the problem in such a way to solve independently subproblems of the original one.
