Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of airway congestion measurement, and in particular to a method and system for measuring airway congestion index based on airway segment spatial analysis. Background Technology

[0002] Just as vehicles experience traffic congestion on roads, civil aviation aircraft also face similar challenges in airspace. With the rapid development of the civil aviation industry, air traffic volume is constantly increasing, making airway congestion a more prominent issue. This is especially true during peak hours. Current research on airway congestion indices in the civil aviation field employs two main approaches: one is based on flight plans for traffic forecasting. However, an aircraft's flight plan represents a single airway, and air traffic involves multiple aircraft flights. This method of congestion prediction based on flight plans is heavily influenced by human factors and lacks flexibility. The other approach, with the widespread application of ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) technology, estimates airway traffic through ADS-B data simulation and statistical analysis. This typically involves manual calculations, which lack consideration for airway width and altitude, have significant statistical errors, and cannot quantify the congestion status of airways and their different locations. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for calculating the airway congestion index based on airway segment spatial analysis. This method divides the airway into segments using each intersection point as a dividing point, and calculates the corresponding three-dimensional airspace based on these segments in the airway GIS spatial model. It selects the segment baseline flow rate for each three-dimensional airspace calculation using segment flow data datasets from N1 years and N2 days of historical flight data. It also collects real-time flight data from ADS-B data to classify segment congestion indices, and obtains the airway congestion index through segment weighting.

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for calculating the airway congestion index based on airway segment spatial analysis includes the following steps:

[0031] S1. Construct a route GIS spatial model of the study area. Based on the intersection points of the flight plan route projections of all aircraft in the study area as dividing points, divide all flight plan routes into several segments. (Preferably, the flight plan routes of all aircraft in the study area are constructed in the route GIS spatial model using vectorized data. The vectorized flight plan route data is as follows...) Figure 3 (As shown). Taking the flight plan route B208 as an example, as... Figure 4 The diagram illustrates the division of flight segments using route intersections as dividing points. In the route GIS spatial model, the airspace i corresponding to the three-dimensional flight segment is calculated based on the segment division. The study area in this embodiment is selected according to the actual research situation; for example, it could be a specific civil aviation control area or several civil aviation control areas, or even a specific country region.

[0032] In some embodiments, the altitude layer of the three-dimensional flight segment calculation airspace i is divided according to the true flight path angle. Specific examples are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the true flight path angles (in this embodiment, the flight path angles are divided according to the flight plan routes of all aircraft in the study area, measured from the start and turning points) are in the range of 0 to 179 degrees. At altitudes from 900 meters to 8100 meters, each altitude layer is 600 meters apart; at altitudes from 8900 meters to 12500 meters, each altitude layer is 600 meters apart; and at altitudes above 12500 meters, each altitude layer is 1200 meters apart. The true flight path angles are in the range of 180 to 359 degrees. At altitudes from 600 meters to 8400 meters, each altitude layer is 600 meters apart; at altitudes from 9200 meters to 12200 meters, each altitude layer is 600 meters apart; and at altitudes above 13100 meters, each altitude layer is 1200 meters apart.

[0033] In some embodiments, the width of the three-dimensional segment calculation airspace i is N3 kilometers extending left and right from the center of the segment (for example, N3 kilometers is 10 kilometers).

[0034] S2. Collect historical ADS-B data of all aircraft flights in the study area for N1 years (in some embodiments, N1 is taken as three years; the collected historical ADS-B data undergoes data denoising, cleaning, and invalid data removal, including removing outliers and duplicates, to ensure data accuracy and reliability). The ADS-B data includes time, latitude and longitude, and elevation information. The historical ADS-B data is divided into hourly segments according to the time series (24 hours a day, collected hourly, with each hourly segment grouped together for calculation; due to large differences in traffic flow at different times, this embodiment uses detailed segmentation, dividing the day into 24 hours, and calculating the traffic flow value separately for each hour, so that each flight segment has a baseline traffic flow for each hour). The counts are collected in the three-dimensional flight segment calculation airspace to obtain the flight segment traffic count set A for N1 years, collected by hour. For example: If we define s as a flight segment dataset, y as the year, m as the month, d as the day, h as the hour, H as the altitude layer, and D as the flight segment direction, we establish a flight segment traffic dataset: Q(s, y, m, d, h, H, D). Q(s, y, m, d, h, H, D) represents the traffic flow value of flight segment s at altitude layer H and direction D, on day d and hour h in year y. We construct the flight segment traffic function: R(s, h, H, D). R(s, h, H, D) represents the flight segment traffic flow of flight segment s at hour h. The data correspondence between the flight segment traffic function and the flight segment traffic dataset is: R(s, h, H, D) = {Q(s, h, d, m, y, H, D)}.

[0035] ADS-B data from historical flights over the past N2 days are collected and counted hourly in the three-dimensional segment calculation airspace to obtain segment flow count set B for N2 days, collected hourly. Segment flow count set A and segment flow count set B are merged, and the median or average of each hour is extracted (the median is used in this example) as the segment baseline flow R for three-dimensional segment calculation airspace i and hour m. im For example: N1 is a three-year period, N2 is a ten-day period, and the traffic data for the same month (m), the same day (d), and the same hour from the historical data of y1, y2, and y3 over the past three years are as follows:

[0036] q1=Q(s,h,d,m,y1,H,D)

[0037] q1=Q(s,h,d,m,y1,H,D)

[0038] q3=Q(s,h,d,m,y3,H,D)

[0039] The following is the traffic data for the same hour over the past 10 days:

[0040] p n ={Q(s, h, d)} n ,m,y,H,D)},

[0041] Then R(s, h, H, D) = {Q (s, h, d, m, y, H, D)} = [q1, q2, q3, p1, p2, p3...p 10 In this embodiment, the median is taken as the reference flow rate for flight segment s at altitude H, direction D, when the flight segment is at altitude h.

[0042] Baseline(s,h,H,D)=Median(R(s,h,H,D)).

[0043] S3. Collect ADS-B data of the study area and calculate the number of aircraft Z in the three-dimensional flight segment calculation airspace i one hour before the study time. im The segment congestion index M for the three-dimensional flight segment calculation airspace i and hour m is calculated according to the following formula. im , For example: The real-time traffic flow of a flight segment is at altitude H in the direction of flight segment D, and the number of aircraft passing through in the hour preceding the current time h is z, so A(s, h, H, D) = z. The segment congestion index M is the ratio of the real-time traffic flow to the baseline traffic flow of the segment. The congestion index of flight segment s at altitude H in the direction of flight segment D is:

[0044] The congestion index for each flight segment is calculated by weighting the traffic flow percentage for each altitude level and direction as follows:

[0045]

[0046] The congestion index for flight segment s is as follows:

[0047]

[0048] S4. The weight of each flight segment is determined by the proportion of the aircraft's flight segment distance to the total route distance. im The segment congestion index of all segments of the entire flight route of the aircraft under study is screened, and the predicted route congestion index C of the entire flight route of the aircraft under study at the study time is calculated according to the following formula. im , P represents the sequence number of the route segment.

[0049] S5. Obtain the route congestion index for all aircraft in the study area according to methods S1-S4, and visualize it in the route GIS spatial model. In some embodiments, the projection plane of the route GIS spatial model (the projection plane is the latitude and longitude plane of the route GIS spatial model excluding elevation data) is the latitude and longitude plane, and the route congestion index of all aircraft is projected onto the projection plane of the route GIS spatial model for visualization, such as... Figure 5The diagram illustrates the projection of the airway congestion index of a study area onto the projection plane of the airway GIS spatial model. In some embodiments, all aircraft airways in the study area are visualized according to segment congestion indices, with the segment congestion indices represented by colors from green to red, from low to high.

[0052] S1. Construct a route GIS spatial model of the study area.

In the route GIS spatial model, divide the corresponding three-dimensional segment calculation airspace i based on the segment. The three-dimensional segment calculation airspace i is subdivided into several altitude layers. For example, the three-dimensional segment calculation airspace i includes J altitude layers, which are ordered from bottom to top. Altitude layer j is the j-th altitude layer.

[0053] S2. Collect historical ADS-B data of all aircraft flights in the study area for N1 years. The ADS-B data includes time, latitude and longitude, and elevation information. The historical ADS-B data is counted hourly according to the time series and aggregated into the corresponding altitude layer of the three-dimensional flight segment calculation airspace to obtain the flight segment flow count set A for N1 years, aggregated by hour. Take the ADS-B data of historical flights over the past N2 days of the study date and count them hourly, aggregating them into the corresponding altitude layer of the three-dimensional flight segment calculation airspace to obtain the flight segment flow count set B for N2 days, aggregated by hour. Merge the flight segment flow count set A and the flight segment flow count set B, and extract the median or average of each hour (the median is used in this example) as the flight segment baseline flow R for the three-dimensional flight segment calculation airspace i and hour m. im The baseline flow rate R for the three-dimensional flight segment calculation airspace i, altitude layer j, and hour m is obtained at each of the three-dimensional flight segment calculation airspace i, altitude layer j, and hour m. i,j,m .

[0054] S3.
