摘要:AbstractThis study proposes an optimal and practical sequencing and scheduling algorithm to increase the capacity in handling inbound traffics through Point Merge System (PMS) and to support the decision of air traffic controllers. To design the optimization algorithm, performance index and several constraints which are required for PMS are derived. In addition, to extend the optimal algorithm in the practical point of view, the first-come-first-served order and constrained position shifting constraint are considered. Through numerical simulations, the performance of the optimal and practical algorithms are demonstrated.
