Functional Interior Point Programming Applied to the Aircraft Path Planning Problem

  • Conference paper
Advances in Aerospace Guidance, Navigation and Control

Abstract

Multiple aircraft trajectory planning is a central problem in future air traffic management concepts where some part of the separation task, currently assumed by human controllers, will be delegated to on-board automated systems. Several approaches have been taken to address it and fall within two categories: meta-heuristic algorithms or deterministic methods. The framework proposed here models the planning problem as a optimization program in a space of functions with constraints obtained by semi-infinite programming.A specially designed innovative interior point algorithm is used to solve it.
