Research of MRAC on intervals between arriving flights controlling

In this paper, the problem of interval controlling between arriving flights is researched. According to character of arriving flights dynamic process, bring forward reasonable assumption, and convert problem of arriving flights´ interval controlling, whose attribute is discrete event dynamic system, into problem of generalized dynamic system controlling. Through analyzing actual measuring data, establish model of arriving flights dynamic process by identification technology, and design arriving flights interval control system with method of model reference adaptive control (MRAC). Adopting MATLAB to carry out simulation, result shows that arriving flights´ intervals variance obviously reduces and process of arriving flights becomes smooth. This supplies new way to research and develop air traffic control (ATC) assistant decision system, and realize ATC automation.
