Abstract

Air traffic complexity indicators play an essential role in measuring operational performance and controller workload. However, current studies mainly depend on the manual scoring method to scale performance or workload. This paper focuses on arrival operations and presents a data-driven strategy to establish the correlation between complexity and performance to avoid the subjectivity of the currently used manual scoring method. Firstly, we present twenty-six indicators for describing air traffic complexity and two indicators for arrival operational performance. Secondly, the clustering method distinguishes peak and off-peak situations for arrival operation. Moreover, clustering results are compared to investigate the correlation between complexity and performance initially. Thirdly, the classification method is adopted to determine such correlation further. In addition, we also identify the affecting factors which could influence operational performance. Finally, trajectories of arrival aircraft landing at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (ZGGG) are used for case validation. The results indicate that there is a strong correlation between complexity and performance. The accuracy and precision of classification are approximately 90%. Furthermore, the number of aircraft significantly impacts the arrival operational performance within TMA.

建立到达操作复杂度与性能之间的关系

空中交通复杂性指标在衡量运营绩效和管制员工作量方面发挥着重要作用。然而，目前的研究主要依赖于手动评分方法来衡量性能或工作负载。本文以到达操作为研究对象，提出了一种数据驱动的策略来建立复杂性与性能之间的相关性，以避免目前使用的人工评分方法的主观性。首先，我们提出了描述空中交通复杂性的26个指标和描述到达运营绩效的2个指标。其次，采用聚类方法区分到达运行的高峰和低谷情况。此外，对聚类结果进行了比较，初步探讨了复杂度与性能之间的相关性。再次，采用分类方法进一步确定这种相关性。此外，我们还确定了可能影响运营绩效的影响因素。最后，利用广州白云国际机场(ZGGG)进场飞机的着陆轨迹进行了案例验证。结果表明，复杂性与性能之间存在很强的相关性。分类的准确度和精密度约为90%。此外，飞机数量对TMA内的到达作业性能有显著影响。
