A Sectorization Method for Terminal Area of Multi-runway Airports Based on Complexity Models

Guoqiang Wang, Su Pang, Haigang Chen, Zhiyuan Shen

Abstract— In the case of limited airspace resources, the continuous increase of air traffic flow makes the construction of multi-runway airports popular in china. The current research on terminal area airspace planning is mainly based on methods such as controller workload and graphic segmentation, and only applies to single runway airports, In this paper, a sectorization method is proposed combined with the characteristics of multi-runway airports and the complexity models. It firstly described the constraints of the sectorization model and the objective function to balance the air traffic complexity. Second, the paper uses the growth algorithm to get model the solution and optimization, and then takes the Chicago O’Hare International Airport as an example to verify the rationality of the method.
