An Alternative Path Modelling Method for Air Traffic Flow Problem in Near Terminal Control Area

Due to the increase in air traffic demand, the various airports experience heavy traffic congestion on the airport surface and airside operations. The demanding air transportation service is causing complicated air traffic networks which will affect the effectiveness and efficiency of airport operations. In order to reduce the adverse effect of getting air traffic delay or airport congestion, an alternative path modelling is proposed to resolve the traffic flow network problem by path coordination and aeronautical holding methods. This research considers the air traffic flow problem near the terminal control area to resolve the delay problem and conflict detection by using computational intelligence.
