Empirical Research on Topological Characteristics of Air Traffic Situation Network

Abstract:

A method for description of structural characteristics of air traffic situation based on the theory of complex network was proposed. This method characterizes the air traffic situation from three dimensions, including single aircraft, local sector, and overall sector. We selected the routinely-recorded flight data in an air traffic control sector within China's airspace in 2013. With the aircrafts in the sector regarded as nodes, and with the between-aircraft proximity relations as edges, we constructed an undirected and unweighted aircraft network. The results show that network node degree can distinguish the key aircraft in the sector; the network connection rate reflects the proximity of aircrafts; the clustering coefficient identifies the presence of high-density aircraft group.
