Abstract. In order to reduce air traffic controller workload, optimized terminal sector partition was studied. The terminal way point capacity evaluation model was built, power polygon divided the terminal area into several units according to the vital way points, each unit workload could be calculated by the European method “RAMS”, and the sector optimum mathematical model was built. One improved ant colony optimization was adopted to solve the model. At last, an example of one terminal airspace sector partition was given. The results show it is an effective method to be applied into sector optimum partition based on way points.

We focus on the spatiotemporal characteristics and their evolvement law of the air traffic flow in airport terminal area to provide scientific basis for optimizing flight control processes and alleviating severe air traffic conditions. Methods in this work combine mathematical derivation and simulation analysis. Based on cell transmission model the macroscopic models of arrival and departure air traffic flow in terminal area are established. Meanwhile, the interrelationship and influential factors of the three characteristic parameters as traffic flux, density, and velocity are presented. Then according to such models, the macro emergence of traffic flow evolution is emulated with the NetLogo simulation platform, and the correlativity of basic traffic flow parameters is deduced and verified by means of sensitivity analysis. The results suggest that there are remarkable relations among the three characteristic parameters of the air traffic flow in terminal area. Moreover, such relationships evolve distinctly with the flight procedures, control separations, and ATC strategies.
