Abstract
In this paper, a Point Merge arrival integration method of tactical operation is introduced under current Communication, Navigation and Surveillance technologies. In present research, the multi-agent theory is used to build and stimulate the arrival integration system. Agents involved in point merge operation and action modules are designed to realize automatic trajectory generating, adjustment, sequencing and conflict detection. The architecture of point merge operation is obtained as well. In order to verify the method, historical ADS-B data is analyzed and the point merge procedures are designed for single runway and two runway arrival separately for different verification. The outcome proves the correctness and efficiency of the method and demonstrates the advantage of Point merge procedure on reducing flight time, fuel consumption, delay time and ATC workload.
