“…Research has shown that IM can provide more precise interaircraft spacing than the use of ATC automation systems alone through the more frequent provision of speed guidance in the presence of uncertainties. 2,3 Research in flight-deck spacing concepts has been ongoing for a few decades. 4 A number of speed control algorithms have been developed and tested to support various aspects of the research, including performance analyses using fast-time simulation, human-in-the-loop experiments, and flight tests.…”

Interval Management (IM) is a future airborne spacing concept that leverages avionics to provide speed guidance to an aircraft to achieve and maintain a specified spacing interval from another aircraft. The design of a speed control law to achieve the spacing goal is a key aspect in the research and development of the IM concept. In this paper, two control laws that are used in much of the contemporary IM research are analyzed and compared to characterize steady-state errors and string stability. Numerical results are used to illustrate how the choice of control laws gains impacts the size of steady-state errors and string performance and the potential trade-offs between those performance characteristics.

This paper proposes a framework for integrating scheduling between arrival, departure, and surface operations to address the drawbacks of domain segregated scheduling. The framework organizes scheduling tasks by time horizon rather than domain. The four-level framework hierarchy includes the configuration schedule, flight schedule, flight schedule update, and schedule conformance. Current NASA research gaps within this framework are discussed and key areas are proposed where future research should focus to facilitate scheduler integration.
