This work investigates two methods for coordination between scheduling and conflict res-
olution functions - two core traffic management functions in urban air mobility operations.
A federated scheduling algorithm and a federated conflict resolution algorithm are first pre-
sented. Two methods for coordinating scheduling and conflict resolution functions are then
introduced. The first coordination method utilizes the feedback from the arrival scheduler at
the destination. The second method applies a flow interval, predefined to accommodate the ca-
pability of the conflict resolution, through the departure scheduler at the origin. High-density
operation scenarios, where conflicts can not be completely resolved by the conflict resolution
function alone, were used to study the performance of these two coordination methods. Ex-
perimental results show that both methods can perform well in coordinating scheduling and
conflict resolution functions. With proper parameter setting, both methods can achieve similar
performance in efficiency while achieving zero losses of separation. |
