Résumé / Abstract
This report provides an insight into the mathematical methods developed to model the speed regulation problem in Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM). The speed regulation problem aims at optimizing aircraft speeds along their flights in order to smooth the air traffic flow. To ensure safe flight conditions, Air Traffic Controllers (ATCos) solve every day a great amount of potential air conflicts. An air conflict occurs if two or more aircraft are flying too close to each other. By predicting flights trajectories, ATCos anticipate potential conflicts and provide clearances to pilots for solving the potential conflicts. The ultimate objective of speed regulation is to deliver an enhanced traffic to ATCos.
