To achieve this last goal, we propose adaptive approximation mechanisms based on dynamic paths, which will be applied to the case of a new type of missed approach with aircraft reinjection in the landing flow. This new type of missed approach will also be adaptable to the Point Merge System, a method for sequencing arrival flows that supports continuous descent operations.
As an alternative implementation for these systems, we considered employing deep learning techniques, based on neural networks. Once trained, the neural network should be able to provide the aircrafts with the paths to follow, replacing in this way the ATC (air traffic controller) function.
With respect our framework, we employ the Matlab/Simulink software for modeling and simulating the airspace and the final approach procedure. This work environment allows us to design and to test our developments.
