Air traffic control system using virtual pathfinder and operational method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to an air traffic control system and an operation method thereof based on virtual pathfinders. First, permitted fairways, courses, taxiways, as well as gate positions for the scheduled flights going in or out of the control area and the air data of the flights on the fairways are inputted into a three-dimensional electronic map; a controller selects corresponding flight courses for the flights on the electronic map according to the flight schedule, forming a prearranged flight plan. The system builds up a virtual pathfinder for each flight on a computer, reckons the travel position of the virtual pathfinder at each second and shows the actual position of the plane through the current control system. The system makes constant comparison and once the actual position ofthe plane does not accord with the virtual position and the offset goes beyond the value of a set offset alarm, the system gives an alarm. The invention can improve the utilization rate of the courses, reduce waiting time of the plane in the air and greatly reduce the work loads of the controller and the pilot.

Description

Air Traffic Control System and Its Operation Method Using Virtual Pilot technical field The invention relates to a system for commanding and dispatching air traffic in air traffic control and an operating method thereof. Background technique With the acceleration of world economic integration, the world's aviation industry has developed rapidly. The current air traffic control systems such as procedural navigation, radar navigation, and automatic dependent surveillance can no longer meet people's current needs for safe and fast air travel. The busy airports in our country are often unable to give full play to the efficiency of the runway due to backward control methods, resulting in air traffic congestion. At airports in developed countries abroad, there are also phenomena such as takeoff and landing aircraft entering the forbidden runway of the aircraft type, stopping and queuing on the taxiway in advance on the ground, circling in the air waiting to land, scratching in t...
