  • The basic definition of airspace capacity was combed. The origin and development of airspace capacity evaluation methodology research were reviewed. The main findings of four typical airspace capacity evaluation methods (evaluation method based on mathematical calculation models, radar simulator evaluation method based on controller workloads, evaluation method based on computer simulation modeling, and evaluation method based on data-driven) were summarized. Combined with the current situation and reform needs of China's airspace management, a framework for the low-altitude airspace capacity evaluation was proposed. The low-altitude airspace classification and air route planning, landing and take-off airport location layout and capacity evaluation, influencing factors analysis and evaluation methods of low-altitude airspace capacity were introduced, respectively. Future development trend was predicted. Research results show that the classification and planning of low-altitude airspace is the basic premise of capacity evaluation, and the complexity of the low-altitude airspace environment should be fully considered, combined with the performance of aircraft and scientific planning of application scenarios. Landing and take-off airports are key nodes in the low-altitude airspace environment. The site location and internal structure will directly affect the overall low-altitude airspace capacity level. The influencing factors analysis on the low-altitude airspace capacity is a key step and serves as a cross-validation with the results of low-altitude airspace capacity evaluation. At present, a mature methodological system for the low-altitude airspace capacity evaluation has not been developed. Three methods are mainly introduced, which are the threshold-based airspace capacity evaluation method, geometrical topology-based airspace capacity evaluation method, and control-variable-based airspace capacity evaluation method. In general, the low-altitude airspace capacity evaluation is an important content to realize the rational allocation of low-altitude airspace resources and ensure the safe and efficient low-altitude airspace operation, and it should be combined with the characteristics of China's airspace management to carry out locally adapted research on the low-altitude airspace capacity evaluation method and pilot validation.
