Abstract
Air traffic management (ATM) of the future allows for the
possibility of free flight, in which aircraft choose their own optimal
routes, altitudes, and velocities. The safe resolution of trajectory
conflicts between aircraft is necessary to the success of such a
distributed control system. In this paper, we present a method to
synthesize provably safe conflict resolution manoeuvres. The method
models the aircraft and the manoeuvre as a hybrid control system and
calculates the maximal set of safe initial conditions for each aircraft
so that separation is assured in the presence of uncertainties in the
actions of the other aircraft. Examples of manoeuvres using both speed
and heading changes are worked out in detail
