Modeling and simulation of collaborative management for airspace and traffic flow

A theoretics of collaborative management for airspace and traffic flow was proposed, several management resorts were used such as ground holding, dynamic route and conditional route, and a methematical model was set up whose objective was based on the minimum cost of operation. The costs of opening conditional route and dynamic route were introduced in the model to reflect the relationship between traffic flow and capacity, and the model was tested by an example. Experimental result shows that the general flight cost decreases by 8 205 dollars, and its amplitude becomes flat after using collaborative management strategy for airspace and traffic flow, so the strategy can cut down delays, and reduce the expense of airline company. 1 tab, 4 figs, 10 refs.
