Research on the Methods of Reducing Carbon Emissions in Airspace Optimization

Abstract:

The international community is increasingly concerned about saving energy and less carbon dioxide emissions. But with growing air passenger and cargo traffic, the airspace tension highlights would inevitably lead to the increase in carbon emissions. However, there is little research on the methods of reducing carbon emission in airspace optimization. So this paper does some research in this field. Firstly this paper provides and exemplifies the method for decreasing the carbon emissions in airspace optimization. Secondly it puts forward the BPR function model to estimating the amount of carbon emissions of the method of increasing the number of air routes and uses the Regression analysis to confirm the parameters αβ. At last utilizing the specific data testifies the huge contribution of reducing the amount of carbon emissions from airspace optimization.
