METHOD FOR CREATING AND CHOOSING A DETERMINATE PILOTING STRATEGY FOR AN AIRCRAFT

摘要

A method includes generating an initial flight context that includes a set of unresolved flight constraints. The method further includes generating a decision tree based on the initial flight context. The decision tree includes a plurality of flight contexts corresponding to leaves of the decision tree. The method also includes expanding the decision tree according to a greedy best-first strategy that selects a flight context of the decision tree for expansion based on a fitness value assigned to the flight context. The method includes selecting, as a piloting strategy, a flight context of the decision tree that includes a sequence of actions to resolve each of the unresolved flight constraints. The method further includes flying an aircraft according to the piloting strategy.

1. A method comprising:
generating a set of flight contexts including at least an initial flight context, wherein each flight context of the set of flight contexts includes a fitness value; repeatedly performing operations comprising: selecting a flight context that has a highest fitness value from the set of flight contexts; expanding the selected flight context to obtain at least one expanded flight context; allocating a new fitness value to the at least one expanded flight context; and adding the at least one expanded flight context to the set of flight contexts; and after repeatedly performing the operations, selecting, from the set of flight contexts, the flight context that has the highest fitness value as a piloting strategy for flying an aircraft.
