Abstract
A method to balance the communication among Multi-Agents in real time traffic synchronization is proposed in this research. The paper presents Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) problem and its synchronization property. For such a complex problem, combing grid computing with multi-agent coordination techniques to improve ATFM computational efficiency is the main objective of actual research. To demonstrate the developed model – ATFM in Grid Computing (ATFMGC), the grid architecture, the basic components and the relationship among them are described. At the same time, the function of agents (tactical planning agent etc.), their knowledge representation and inference processes are also discussed. As criteria to measure the effective to reduce quantity of the communication among agents and the delay of the flights, Standard of Balancing among Agents (SBA) is used in the analysis. The simulation shows the efficiency of the developed model and successful application in the case study.
