This work presents a federated conflict resolution algorithm and its parametric study for
UAM operations. A federated speed-control-based conflict resolution algorithm is introduced
first, including its rules of the road, data exchange requirement, and critical parameters. Two
experiments were set up for the parametric study. The first investigates five parameters: look
ahead time, resolution update interval, maximum allowed speed reduction, traffic flow interval,
and crossing angle. The second experiment studies the uncertainty of departure time. Metrics
associated with safety, efficiency, and conflict resolution effort were measured for each scenario.
A Design Of Experiment (DOE) analysis was used to perform the multi-factor analysis for the
first experiment. It revealed that the crossing angle and flow interval were the most critical
parameters across all three metrics, followed by maximum allowed speed reduction. Look
ahead time and resolution update interval were of minor significance to safety and conflict
resolution effort, but had little to no effect on efficiency. The analysis of the second experiment
showed that, given a flow rate, the fluctuation in departure time was absorbed by the conflict
resolution algorithm, which resulted in a relatively small fluctuation in airborne delay. |
