Abstract

The airspace near the airport, namely the terminal area, has serious congestion. To resolve the congestion, there are demands for the trajectory optimization and the sequence optimization of the arrival aircraft. In this paper, the algorithm to optimize the trajectory and the sequence simultaneously is shown. The receding horizon guidance (RHG) is employed for the trajectory optimization, and the trajectory is defined in the space-time coordinate system (STCS) to introduce the sequence optimization to the trajectory optimization. The simulation is performed to demonstrate the optimization process and the ability of the RHG. The simulation result shows that the RHG with the sequence optimization is able to optimize the trajectory and the sequence simultaneously.
