Abstract:

A conflict detection method for free flight based on electrostatic theory is proposed. Flights in such an airspace usually have the freedom to choose routes and speeds,which elevates the complexity of flight environment and conflict probability. The proposed method uses Coulomb force between point charges to evaluate severity of conflict between flights,while the potential system energy gives a global view of flight safety for the whole airspace. And it has the intrinsic capability of multi-flight conflict detection among flight clusters. Both conflict detection and conflict resolution in free flight operation scenario can find benefits with this method.

Key words: free flight, conflict detection, electrostatic field model
