Research on Traffic Flow Optimization of Flight Route and Ground Delay Program

Abstract:

This paper mainly discusses the traffic flow optimization of flight route and the problem of ground delay program. the author introduces the concept, procedure, method and the meaning of air traffic flow management. The author utilizes Eulerian method to build the model of air traffic networks, and solves the problem with adjoint method, then uses it to optimize the flow of the route, The author also builds the model of ground delay program with fair factor, and solves it with particle swarm optimization method. The author also uses the real data to prove the feasibility of the above two methods. Also, the author designs the original system of air traffic flow management, and gives the flow of operation and the output of interface. In the end, the author summarizes the study meaning of the paper and puts forward the opinion of the research of future air traffic flow management.
