AIRCRAFT SEQUENCING WITH FUZZY LOGIC METHOD
Abstract
The growth in the demand for air transport causes an increase in air traffic. In this case, more air traffic needs to be carried out safely, regularly and quickly. It is important to correctly and fairly order the landing traffic in order to reduce the delaying, especially in the air due to heavy traffic.
In this study, it is aimed to sequence the arrival traffic with fuzzy logic method. Speed, distance, altitude parameters were used for sequencing. Traffic data was collected from the Air Traffic Simulation Laboratory at Eskişehir Technical University’s Air Traffic Control Department.
A comparative analysis was conducted between the current arrival traffic sequencing within the simulation area and the sequencing results derived from the fuzzy logic method. The findings indicate a significant overlap between both traffic ranking outcomes. This research contributes to the existing literature by demonstrating the application of the fuzzy logic method in the field of air traffic control.
