摘要: | The current system used by the FAA to schedule arrivals is the Traffic Based Flow Manager (TBFM). It is a centralized system that gives an operator (airline) no influence over scheduled times of arrival assigned to its flights. Future systems for managing arrival scheduling are proposed as distributed systems. Such a system is called upon to give operators influence to schedule and negotiate resources for their flights, and to resolve other technical challenges, such as eliminating a single point of failure. A distributed system for managing diverse air traffic will need the capability of computing a schedule for the given arriving flights in a way that complies with the operational constraints. This paper contributes an algorithm that computes such a schedule. Although developed as part of an effort toward a distributed system, the algorithm itself is neither inherently distributed nor inherently centralized and can be used in either type of system. |
