Construction of Conflict-Free Routes for Aircraft in Case of Free-Routing with Genetic Algorithms.
Ingrid Gerdes · elib (German Aerospace Center) · 1994
With the rising problems in mind a new idea evolved in the near past: Free−flight for en−route traffic. This would allow to use the whole airspace and therefore to increase the capacity of the airspace system. It would not be necessary any longer to force the use of the prescribed routing system and to leave the space between the routes unused. The main problems of free−flight are the construction of optimal conflict−free routes between given starting and destination points and the control of aircraft movements by the airspace controllers.
