    Abstract
  • Aircraft takeover methods in response to unforeseen events in air traffic services is an important component of the Air Traffic Management (ATM) contingency system in China. Under the current scheme, all aircrafts in the sector of Air Traffic Control-Zero (ATC-Zero) are independently taken over by adjacent control sectors. To some extent, it aggravates the workload of Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs) of the takeover sector and creates safety challenges. Considering the effective communication range of aircraft during the takeover process and the combined impacts of ATCOs' workload and aircraft evacuation time, a dynamic takeover method is developed with the objective of minimizing the total cost of taking-over aircrafts in the ATC-Zero sector and the constraint of a maximum increment in ATCOs' workload. Aircrafts are regarded as nodes in a flight state network, and a dynamic takeover model is developed in a three-dimensional space at the moment of ATC-Zero. A simulated airspace scenario of the terminal area at the moment of the ATC-Zero is developed using MATLAB. The sector ID for taking over each aircraft is determined by calculating the cost function. The average workload of ATCOs in the terminal area and the average time for aircrafts to evacuate from the ATC-Zero sector are used as the evaluation indexes to compare and analyze the application effectiveness of the dynamic takeover and the current method. Simulation results show that, compared to the current method, the average workload of ATCOs is reduced by 9.8%, 12.2%, and 18.6%, respectively, although a small number of aircrafts cannot be optimally taken over by the most suitable sectors due to their effective communication range. At the same time, the average evacuation time of aircrafts is reduced by 56.8%, 56.3%, and 64.0%, respectively. The dynamic takeover method proposed considers both the positional factors of aircrafts at the moment of emergency events and the safety constraint related to the increment in ATCOs' workload. With this, the flexible takeover of aircrafts in the ATC-Zero sector can be accomplished, which should provide a reference for ATM units to develop more reasonable emergency response strategies.
