Abstract
The concept of Receding Horizon Control (RHC) is introduced into Genetic Algorithm (GA) in this paper to solve the problem of arrival scheduling and sequencing (ASS) at a busy hub airport. A GA-based method is proposed for solving the dynamic ASS problem, and the focus is put on the methodology of integrating the RHC strategy into the GA for real-time implementations in a dynamic environment of air traffic control. Receding horizon and terminal penalty are investigated in depth as two key techniques of this novel RHC-based GA. Simulation results show that the new method proposed in this paper is effective and efficient to solve the ASS problem in a dynamic environment.
