Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of air traffic management, relates to traffic complexity management, and particularly relates to an autonomous collaborative traffic complexity management method based on spatio-temporal reachable space. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the civil aviation transportation industry, the demand for air traffic has increased significantly. The current ground-based air traffic management system capacity is gradually saturated, resulting in frequent airspace congestion, serious threats to the safety of airspace operations, and a decline in system efficiency. In order to improve the predictability, flexibility, and efficiency of future air traffic and release additional system capacity, the International Civil Aviation Organization has proposed an operational concept of traffic complexity management in the Aviation System Block Upgrade. Current research on complexity management only focuses on reducing the operational complexity of flights and does not consider the flight efficiency goals of flights. At the same time, relevant research has not considered the constraint of the required arrival time of flights passing through waypoints on their flight tracks. Current research adopts completely centralized or distributed control strategies when planning flight tracks of flights. However, the centralized control strategy has high computational costs and is difficult to apply to the tactical planning stage, while the distributed control strategy may lead to a reduction in the optimality of the system due to the lack of global information. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Object of the Invention: In order to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides an autonomous collaborative traffic complexity management method based on spatio-temporal reachable space. On the basis of considering the intentions and performance of aircraft, a grid-based spatio-temporal reachable space for horizontal rerouting of aircraft is generated according to the predicted track, and a multi-objective autonomous four-dimensional track planning model that simultaneously considers track complexity and flight efficiency is constructed based on this constraint. A multi-aircraft cluster collaborative optimization algorithm based on a hybrid centralized and distributed strategy is used to solve the multi-aircraft track planning problem, which can provide a higher-quality solution for the tactical track planning process for complexity management within a reasonable time.
[0004] Technical Solution: To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an autonomous collaborative traffic complexity management method based on spatio-temporal reachable space, including the following steps:
[0005] S1: Perform track prediction based on relevant data;
[0006] S2: Generate a grid-based spatio-temporal reachable space according to the predicted track and aircraft performance;
[0007] S3: Establish a multi-objective autonomous four-dimensional track planning model based on the spatio-temporal reachable space;
[0008] S4: Calculate the four-dimensional track of the aircraft through the multi-objective autonomous four-dimensional track planning model by using a multi-aircraft cluster collaborative optimization algorithm based on a hybrid centralized and distributed strategy.
[0009] Furthermore, the relevant data in step S1 includes flight plans of flights, flight performance of aircraft, airspace information. The method for predicting the flight track is as follows: Obtain the flight plan of the flight, the flight performance of the aircraft, and the airspace information data, and predict the four-dimensional flight track of the flight based on the obtained data, including the three-dimensional coordinates of the waypoints passed by the flight and the required arrival time.
[0010] Furthermore, the method for generating the spatio-temporally reachable space in step S2 is as follows:
[0011] Based on the predicted four-dimensional flight track information and subject to the constraint of the required arrival time, the spatio-temporally reachable space of the aircraft from the starting waypoint a to the destination waypoint b is set as an ellipse, and the boundary of the ellipse is expressed as:
[0012]
[0013]
[0014] In the formula, (x R , y R ) are the coordinates of the points on the boundary of the spatio-temporally reachable space of the aircraft in the x-y plane, (x a , y a ), (x b , y b ) are the coordinates of waypoint a and waypoint b respectively, v max is the maximum flight speed of the aircraft, Δt = T b - T a is the required flight duration of the aircraft from the starting waypoint to the ending waypoint, where T a , T b are the required arrival times of the aircraft to the starting waypoint a and the ending waypoint b respectively;
[0015] Discretize the airspace into a set of square grid cells of equal size, and the candidate positions of the rerouting waypoints of each aircraft are the center points of the grid cells in the spatio-temporally reachable space.
[0016] Furthermore, the establishment of the multi-objective autonomous four-dimensional flight track planning model in step S3 includes:
[0017] A1: Set decision variables;
[0018] A2: Construct the objective function;
[0019] A3: Set constraint conditions.
[0020] Furthermore, setting the decision variables in step A1 includes the horizontal rerouting maneuver of the aircraft and the allocation of the flight altitude layer of the aircraft;
[0021] Horizontal rerouting maneuver of an aircraft: By assigning the position of an alternative waypoint w=(x R , y R ) to reconstruct the horizontal flight trajectory of the aircraft, where x R and y R are the coordinates of the rerouting waypoint on the x and y axes respectively;
[0022] Allocation of aircraft flight levels: By allocating alternative flight levels l to aircraft to separate traffic flows in the vertical profile.
[0023] Furthermore, the construction of the objective function in step A2 includes:
[0024] Minimizing the trajectory adjustment cost, that is,
[0025] min f(w, l)=D + αΨ
[0026] where f(w, l) is the trajectory adjustment cost of the aircraft; D and Ψ are the deviation from the user-preferred trajectory and the trajectory complexity respectively; α is a coefficient reflecting the relative importance of the two objectives;
[0027] where the deviation D of the user-preferred trajectory is defined as the additional flight distance of the planned trajectory compared to the user-preferred trajectory, that is
[0028] D = D H (w, l)+D V (w, l)
[0029] where D H is the horizontal additional flight distance and D V is the vertical additional flight distance;
[0030] The trajectory complexity is measured using an intrinsic complexity metric based on a linear dynamic system: With the sampling point P i,k of the reference aircraft i as the center, search for the observation vectors of adjacent aircraft within a cylindrical space with a radius of 25 NM and a height of 2000 ft around it. Use the method of minimizing the least mean square to solve the dynamic system model with the smallest error from the observed values, calculate the complex eigenvalues of the coefficient matrix of the dynamic system model. The complexity metric of the sampling point P i,k is related to the negative real part of the complex eigenvalue, and the complexity metrics of all sampling points on the trajectory are summed to obtain the trajectory complexity of the aircraft i.
[0031] Furthermore, the method for setting the constraint conditions in step A3 is to classify the busyness levels of each waypoint based on the probability equal division method according to the probability distribution fitting curve of the waypoint busyness. The constraint conditions specifically include:
[0032] Spatio-temporal reachable space constraint, that is
[0033]
[0034] The maximum turning angle constraint, i.e.,
[0035]
[0036] wherein, are respectively the turn-out angle and turn-in angle of the aircraft, and θ max is the maximum turning angle of the aircraft;
[0037] The maximum flight altitude layer offset constraint, i.e.,

[0039] wherein, l origin is the planned flight altitude layer of the aircraft, Δl Climb is the maximum climb flight altitude layer offset, and Δl Descend is the maximum descent flight altitude layer offset;
[0040] The minimum safety interval constraint, i.e.,
[0041]
[0042]
[0043] wherein, are respectively the horizontal and vertical minimum distances between the reference aircraft and the adjacent aircraft; S H , S V are respectively the horizontal minimum safety interval and the vertical minimum safety interval.
[0044] Furthermore, the specific step S4 is as follows:
[0045] Detect pairwise conflicts between aircraft pairs according to the initial flight plan (i.e., the track preferred by the user). If there are conflicts between aircraft pairs, it means that there is a mutual dependence relationship between the aircraft pairs, and the aircraft with potential conflicts are grouped together;
[0046] For aircraft in different groups, a distributed control strategy of "the later-entering aircraft is adjusted first" is adopted, that is, if it is predicted that two aircraft are involved in critical events (i.e., conflicts and highly complex situations), the later-entering aircraft into the airspace needs to adjust its track to avoid critical events;
[0047] For aircraft within the same group, a local centralized control strategy is adopted to achieve collaborative track planning by coordinating the aircraft within the group;
[0048] For the aircraft cluster grouping with only one aircraft, a traversal search algorithm is used to search for the optimal trajectory with the minimum trajectory adjustment cost;
[0049] For the aircraft cluster grouping with multiple aircraft, the optimal flight trajectories of all aircraft are generated from a global perspective with the goal of minimizing the total trajectory adjustment cost of all aircraft, that is
[0050]
[0051] where f g is the total trajectory adjustment cost of all aircraft in group g, and f i is the trajectory adjustment cost of aircraft i; a variable-resolution search algorithm based on a hierarchical strategy is used to approximate the optimal solution within a reasonable calculation time.
[0052] Furthermore, the solution of the variable-resolution search algorithm based on the hierarchical strategy includes:
[0053] Generate solution spaces with low, medium, and high levels of resolution, and the corresponding grid sizes are 20 nautical miles, 10 nautical miles, and 5 nautical miles respectively;

[0055] , L g , L g ) 10NM to optimize the optimal solution;
[0056] Search all solutions around the current optimal solution in the high-resolution solution space (W g , L g ) 5NM to obtain an approximate optimal solution.
[0057] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention, on the basis of considering the intentions and performances of aircraft, generates a grid-based spatio-temporal reachable space for horizontal route changes of aircraft according to the predicted trajectories, and constructs a multi-objective autonomous four-dimensional trajectory planning model that simultaneously considers trajectory complexity and flight efficiency based on this constraint. A multi-aircraft cluster collaborative optimization algorithm based on a hybrid centralized and distributed strategy is used to solve the multi-aircraft trajectory planning problem, which can provide a solution that takes into account minimizing the trajectory adjustment cost and the optimal solution for the tactical trajectory planning process for complexity management within a reasonable time.

[0081] where the deviation amount D of the user-preferred trajectory is defined as the additional flight distance of the planned trajectory compared with the user-preferred trajectory, that is
[0082] D = D H (w, l) + D V (w, l)
[0083] where D H is the horizontal additional flight distance, and D V is the vertical additional flight distance;
[0084] The trajectory complexity is measured by using the intrinsic complexity index based on the linear dynamic system: With the sampling points P of the reference aircrafti,k Search for the observation vectors of adjacent aircraft within a cylindrical space centered at [specific center] with a radius of 25 NM and a height of 2000 ft, that is

If there are conflicts between aircraft pairs, it means that there is a mutual dependence relationship between the aircraft pairs. Divide the aircraft with potential conflicts into a group;
[0113] For different groups of aircraft, adopt a distributed control strategy that follows "the later-entering aircraft is adjusted first", that is, if it is predicted that two aircraft are involved in critical events (i.e., conflicts and highly complex situations), the aircraft that enters the airspace later needs to adjust its trajectory to avoid critical events;
[0114] For the aircraft within the same group, a local centralized control strategy is adopted to achieve collaborative trajectory planning by coordinating the aircraft within the group;
