Distributed optimization and principled negotiation for advanced air traffic management
John P. Wangermann, Robert F. Stengel · 2002
A game-theoretic model of aircraft/airspace system behavior is presented. The model demonstrates the benefits of a distributed approach to air traffic management. Principled negotiation between agents is proposed as the basis for allowing distributed optimization while maintaining coordination. Simulation results show that this approach allows a high level of user optimization, decreases controller workload, and maintains coordination.
