Abstract
In an effort to increase the efficiency and safety of air travel
while accommodating the growing demand for air traffic, the aviation
community is working towards designing next generation air traffic
management (ATM) systems. ATM will replace the completely centralized,
ground based, air traffic control procedures. Within ATM, the concept of
free flight allows each aircraft to plan four dimensional trajectories
in real time, thus replacing the rigid and inefficient discrete airspace
structure. These changes are feasible due to GPS and various other
technological innovations. In this paper, we propose a decentralized ATM
architecture, where much of the current ATC functionality is moved on
board each aircraft. Within this framework, we present various issues
that arise in the emerging area of hybrid systems based on our work in
conflict resolution strategies between aircraft, and in flight mode
switching logic
