RESEARCH ON THE TASK OF FORMING AIR TRAFFIC FLOWS IN INTEGRATED AIRSPACE

Abstract

Relevance. Relevance. Modern trends in the development of unmanned aviation, particularly the ability to operate beyond visual line of sight, require the integration of unmanned systems into general airspace. Existing air traffic management systems were designed primarily for manned aviation, which limits their efficiency under new conditions. Object of the research: the process of forming air traffic flows in integrated airspace. Purpose of the article: to identify directions of scientific research on adaptation, coordination, and decision-making efficiency in a changing air traffic environment; to define the main principles of airspace planning and organization; and to develop a mathematical model for optimizing air traffic flow in integrated airspace. Research results. The article outlines the main principles of airspace planning and organization, highlights the role of the U-space system, and proposes a mathematical model for setting the optimization problem of air traffic flows. Directions for scientific research on adaptation, coordination, and decision-making efficiency under dynamic air conditions are presented. Conclusions. The proposed approaches enable comprehensive automation of the processes of forming air traffic flows, monitoring, and ensuring navigational safety in integrated airspace. Application area of the results: air traffic management systems incorporating both manned and unmanned aerial vehicles, particularly for national and international aviation regulators.
