Terminal Airspace Sector Optimum Partition Based on Way Points

Jun Luo, Huan Liang Lv

Abstract

Abstract. In order to reduce air traffic controller workload, optimized terminal sector partition was studied. The terminal way point capacity evaluation model was built, power polygon divided the terminal area into several units according to the vital way points, each unit workload could be calculated by the European method “RAMS”, and the sector optimum mathematical model was built. One improved ant colony optimization was adopted to solve the model. At last, an example of one terminal airspace sector partition was given. The results show it is an effective method to be applied into sector optimum partition based on way points.
