Development of intelligent flight conflict resolution system

The flight conflict resolution problem was divided into 3 smaller sub-problems: co-altitude detection, minimum horizontal space detection and heading regulation, and the topological structure and procedure of the flight conflict resolution system were presented. The flight conflict resolution system was developed with VB. net and Matlab and by introducing the combinatorial optimization algorithms for general assignment problem and artificial neural network technique. Simulation results show that the system can provide flight management personnel with suggestions for short to long term plans of flight conflict resolution to raise the efficiency of flight management and ensure flight safety.
