摘要: | This paper describes an Air Traffic Simulator (ATS) that provides a simulation capability for terminal area automation. The ATS is capable of realistic terminal area modeling, automation performance and feasibility studies, and system wide fault-tolerance analysis. The ATS is evaluated through modeling of self-spacing and self-merging of aircraft following Standard Terminal Arrival (STARs). These algorithms are described in detail and preliminary analysis results are provided. The analysis exposes the limitations of the algorithms due to their integration. Possible modifications to overcome these limitations are suggested. Future work planned for the ATS is described. Overall the ATS is an easily extensible and powerful tool for preliminary analysis of new technologies. |
