HYBRID HEURISTIC NATIONAL AIRSPACE FLIGHT PATH OPTIMIZATION

摘要

Hybrid-heuristic optimization of competing portfolios of flight paths for flights through one or more sectors of an airspace represented by an air traffic system. In one embodiment, a hybrid-heuristic optimization process includes one or more heuristic based processes, a genetic optimization process, an evaluation process involving an approximation model, an optimal portfolio selection process and a validation process involving simulation of the air traffic system.
