Problems solved by technology

However, user preferences are not incorporated into the EDA concept
[0007] Due in part to a lack of validation activities and benefit assessments, several significant gaps remain in the implementation of TBO

Embodiment Construction

[0024] Various aspects of air traffic management within the scope of the present invention are discussed below. The first of these aspects, referred to as preference management, involves trajectory negotiation between a ground-based air traffic control (ATC) system and an aircraft that allows modification of an aircraft's four-dimensional trajectory (4DT) to meet commercial and safety goals. As used herein, an "ATC system" shall mean any person or any device responsible for monitoring and managing air traffic in a given airspace, including air traffic controllers (ATCos) and the automation they use, and an "aircraft" shall be used not only Includes the aircraft itself, but also anyone or anything responsible for planning and changing the 4D trajectory of the aircraft, including but not limited to flight dispatchers, flight operators (airlines), and flight crew. The hardware and other equipment used by the ATC system is ground based in order to differentiate the ATC system from...

Abstract

The title of the invention is ''methods and systems for managing air traffic ''. Methods and systems suitable for processing multiple trajectory modification requests received from multiple aircraft within an airspace. The methods include receiving multiple trajectory modification requests that are transmitted from multiple aircraft and request alterations of the altitudes, speeds and / or lateral routes thereof, sequentially performing conflict assessments on the multiple trajectory modification requests to determine if any of the multiple trajectory modification requests pose conflicts with the altitudes, speeds and lateral routes of any other of the multiple aircraft, placing in a computer memory data queue n trajectory modification requests of the multiple trajectory modification requests that are identified by the conflict assessments as posing conflicts, and periodically processing the queue to perform subsequent conflict assessments on the n trajectory modification requests to determine if any of the n trajectory modification requests still pose conflicts with the altitudes, speeds and lateral routes of any other of the multiple aircraft.

Description

technical field [0001] Generally, the present invention relates to methods and systems for managing air traffic. More specifically, aspects of the invention include methods and systems for negotiating and processing air traffic trajectory modification requests received from multiple aircraft, and methods and systems for scheduling air traffic arriving at an airport. Background technique [0002] Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) is a key component of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) in the US and the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) in Europe. There is a substantial amount of work in progress in both programs to develop this concept. Aircraft trajectory synchronization and trajectory negotiation are key capabilities in existing TBO concepts and provide a framework for improving the efficiency of airspace operations. Trajectory synchronization and negotiation implemented in TBO also enables airspace users, including flight operators (airlines)...
