Genetic Algorithm with Dynamic Receding Horizon for Airport Capacity Management

Article Preview

Abstract:

The major goal of air traffic management is to strategically control the flow of airport traffic. Airport capacity management (ACM) in a dynamic environment is crucial for the optimal operation in airport environment. This paper uses the concept of dynamic receding horizon control (DRHC) to conduct real-time planning for airport capacity management. A gene algorithm is then designed from DRHC point of view. It is shown that DRHC provides a generic and flexible framework for developing real-time allocation algorithms for airport capacity in a dynamic and uncertain environment. Simulation results show that the algorithm is effective and efficient to solve the problem.
