Airspace capacity evaluation of wide range air route network based on


	improved Euler model

Abstract

Abstract:

Aiming at the high complexity of airspace capacity evaluation of wide range air route network, a method for fast

evaluating airspace capacity of wide range air route network was proposed. Firstly, the airports, terminal areas and

sectors in the airspace were taken as nodes, and the network edge was determined according to whether there was

traffic flow between nodes. The airspace topology network of air route network based on airport, terminal areas and

sector nodes was obtained to reduce the airspace dimension of the air route network. Secondly, the airports, terminal

areas and sector nodes were used as the control unit of the Euler model to improve the Euler model, and the improved Euler model was used to model the traffic flow in the airspace topology network of the air route network.

Then, a target optimization model was established based on node capacity, and used elite retention genetic algorithm to solve the traffic flow in the airspace topology network of the air route network. When the traffic flow in the

airspace topology network of the air route network stabilizes, the airspace capacity of the air route network was obtained. Finally, the airspace capacity of a certain air route network was calculated in China and conducted simulation verification using total airspace and airport modeller (TAAM), proving the feasibility and accuracy of this

method.

Key words:
