Abstract
Future 4D TBO will require effective airground data link communication and negotiation protocols. This issue is especially critical in Arrival and Approach flight phase due to the variability of conditions into a short space-time environment where multiple aircraft simultaneously converge. Besides, several subtasks are closely related with effective air-ground negotiation protocols for 4D TBO in Terminal Areas: predicting accurate arrivals 4D trajectories, performing well established 4D trajectory formats for an effective interoperability between airborne and ground systems, designing efficient real-time aircraft arrival sequencer and scheduler algorithms, etc. In this paper we propose a 4D Trajectory Air- Ground Negotiation Protocol for Arrival and Approach Sequencing. The Negotiation Protocol has been implemented in an ad hoc multi-agent platform. Based on this proposal we summarize other relevant information that should be incorporated into the 4D trajectory information.
