“…Therefore, according to the characteristics of the aircraft carrier [17] and common airport terminal area data [2], the experimental parameters are set in Table 4. According to the above ship parameters, the shipboard aircraft parameters, the segment parameters, and the missed approach parameters, combined with the calculation formulas of arc capacity in the network flow model, the unit time is 1 h, and the arc capacity of each segment can be solved, as shown in Table 5.…”

“…Objective and accurate evaluation of the ship terminal area's capacity is the basis of air traffic flow management for shipboard aircraft, and it is also the premise for improving the efficiency of airspace resources. The reasonable evaluation of terminal capacity can alleviate the imbalance between capacity supply and flow [2], delays in shipboard aircraft tasks, and airspace congestion. In addition, it can also lay the foundation for finding operation bottlenecks in the ship terminal area, which is conducive to making full use of limited resources to improve operational efficiency and provides an effective basis for relevant departments to reasonably arrange tasks related to shipboard aircraft.…”

With the development of modern military ship equipment, the airspace operation environment of shipboard aircraft is becoming increasingly complex. The objective and accurate evaluation of ship-terminal capacity is the basis of air traffic flow management for shipboard aircraft, and it is also the premise of improving the efficiency of airspace resources. First of all, this paper divides the airspace and ship terminal areas and realizes the route network planning for the arrival and departure of shipboard aircraft. Following this, according to the airspace characteristics of the ship terminal area and the operation process of the shipboard aircraft, an arrival-and-departure network flow model for shipboard aircraft is established by using capacity-limitation and flow-conservation conditions. Finally, simulated annealing (SA) is used to solve the maximum flow in the arrival-and-departure network flow model, and the capacity evaluation results of the ship terminal area are obtained. The results show that when the number of gates is ng≥ 7, the bottleneck in the ship terminal area’s operation capacity is the deck runway. When 3 ≤ ng < 7, imbalanced take-off and landing tasks lead to a waste of runway resources, and when ng < 3, the number of gates becomes the bottleneck which limits the capacity. With the number of gates being reduced from seven to three, the capacity is reduced from twenty sorties per hour to six sorties per hour. The model and core idea proposed in this paper can not only quickly evaluate the capacity of the terminal area of ships but also provide a solid foundation for the development of future fleet groups and the full use of maritime airspace.
