A Hybrid Approach for Detecting and Resolving Conflicts in Air Traffic Routes

This paper presents a hybrid model for the detection and resolution of conflicts in air traffic routes involving flight level change actions and adjustment of the longitudinal acceleration of aircraft. The strategy comprises an integrated approach that uses a fuzzy model to quantify the level of lon...
