Application des algorithmes génétiques à la gestion des conflits aériens en croisière

Abstract

In récent years, an increase of the air traffic has caused an overload in the airspace making the air traffic controUer work more complex than it used to be. Indeed, the conflicts between aircrafts which are currently resolved by the air traffic controller from the ground or in the worst case, by an embedded System on board, are bounding to grow. To solve thèse contJict management problems, this report aims to propose an automatic solufion to unload the amount of work of the air traffic controllers. The proposed solution itself uses a genetic algorithm method. It has been applied to this problem to optimized proposed trajectories through several factors: ail the conflicts must be solved, the proposed trajectories must be as short as possible; the number of opérations donc by one or several pilots must be reduced at most to facilitate his (their) work. Simple opérations of exécution and understanding are also used and the solution is voluntarily suggested only on a horizontal path. The concluding results of that study illustrate how much this tool could facilitate the work of the air traffic controllers on a daily basis and could allow making a step towards an automation of the air traffic control.
