Abstract:

Flight rerouting is an important strategy in the airspace with the limit of heavy weather and flight conflict. To solve rerouting problem,the grid method is firstly utilized to build the model for diverting airspace environment based on numerical weather prediction features in severe weather. Taking air traffic rules and aircraft performance into consideration,a new rerouting path planning method basing on the improved ant colony algorithm is proposed under the limitation of head changing times,turning angels and travelling distance.Finally,the flight path of Guiyang-Changsha is studied. Simulation results show that the proposed method can search a safe and feasible temporary flight rerouting path between local flow constrained area and others,and can improve the utilization rate of the airspace effectively.

Key words: air traffic planning, rerouting strategy, improved ant colony algorithm, grid method
