Abstract

This paper presents a fast flight 4-D trajectory projection approach for air traffic management based on a navigation database and flight plans. The system predicts the 4-D trajectory of the entire flight phase from the departure runway to the arrival runway for civilian flights. The approach uses a mass point model to speed up the projections, designs transitions between two inexactly defined legs that ensures continuity, conforms to the speed and altitude constraints of terminal procedures to guarantee the fidelity of the generated trajectories, and uses geometric calculations based on the WGS-84 geodesic system to improve the accuracy. Tests of routes from the Beijing Capital airport to the Shanghai Hongqiao airport show the efficiency of this approach.
