Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of air traffic technology, and in particular relates to a civil aviation passenger aircraft track prediction method considering time window constraints. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the civil aviation industry, the existing air traffic management system is unable to adapt to the growing demand for air transportation and the increasing number of civil aircraft, and the four-dimensional trajectory operation mode has emerged. Compared with the traditional air traffic management system, the four-dimensional trajectory operation can realize the accurate prediction, dynamic adjustment and safety management of the flight path of civil aircraft in the time and space dimensions, which helps to improve the efficiency, safety and environmental sustainability of air traffic. The increasing maturity of the four-dimensional trajectory operation mode has brought the date of promotion of this operation mode closer and closer. Therefore, how to solve the potential conflict risks caused by the uncertainty of the temporal and spatial position of civil aircraft under the four-dimensional trajectory operation mode has become the focus of attention of all parties. Research on trajectory prediction of civil aircraft is of great significance to improving operational safety and efficiency and making full use of airspace resources.

[0003] The Chinese patent document with publication number CN106846919A provides a four-dimensional trajectory dynamic prediction method based on ADS-B information update. Through network communication with the ADS-B receiver, the ADS-B data decoding module is used to obtain the real-time speed, altitude, longitude and latitude information of the flight, and the consistency check with the predicted trajectory is performed, thereby realizing dynamic, online and real-time trajectory prediction capabilities. It can provide important technical guarantees for the development of automation and intelligence of air traffic control and the realization of trajectory-based operation. However, the uncertainty of the flight trajectory of civil aircraft under four-dimensional trajectory operation is not only reflected in the flight segment, but also in the time and space of the waypoints connecting the two ends of the segment. In order to quantify the potential conflict risk caused by uncertainty, interval constraints must be performed. The potential motion space model under interval constraints is continued to be used to give the access probability of civil aircraft at any time and space coordinates, and finally a complete expression of the uncertainty of four-dimensional trajectory operation is achieved, which also provides strong support for subsequent safety management. The above-mentioned 4D trajectory dynamic prediction method is difficult to meet the high-precision requirements of 4D trajectory operation. The time window constraints of civil aviation aircraft at waypoints lead to uncertainty in trajectory prediction. Traditional methods do not consider the interval constraints of the time window, resulting in inaccurate modeling of the potential motion space.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the problems existing in the prior art, it is urgent to provide a civil aircraft trajectory prediction method considering the time window constraint, which is not only the core of civil aircraft conflict risk analysis, but also an important guarantee for ensuring flight safety. By predicting the future operation trajectory of civil aircraft, potential conflict risks can be discovered and handled in time, thereby avoiding accidents. Therefore, the prediction of trajectory distribution in the potential motion space under the time window constraint is of great significance to improving the safety and efficiency of air traffic management. Summary of the invention

[0005] In response to the problems in the related technology, the present invention proposes a civil aviation passenger aircraft trajectory prediction method taking into account the time window constraint, so as to solve the technical problems that the civil aviation passenger aircraft trajectory prediction method does not take into account the interval constraint of the time window, resulting in inaccurate modeling of the potential motion space.

[0010] S4. Coordinate system conversion: A new coordinate system is established with the expected position of the civil aviation passenger aircraft as the origin, the route direction is the positive direction of the x-axis, the ordinates of the starting waypoint and the ending waypoint are both 0, and the coordinates are rotated according to the route azimuth rotation angle;

[0011] S5.

A certain moment of the civil airliner is compared with the boundary time of the time window to determine the dynamic potential motion space of the civil airliner. On this basis, after converting the coordinate axis, the time window is discretized, and the total access probability function of the civil airliner in the potential motion space under the time window constraint is obtained using calculus. The present invention accurately quantifies the access probability of civil airliners in the potential space, which can effectively improve air traffic safety, reduce the workload of controllers, and make full use of airspace resources.
