SUPEROPT: Problem Definition and Literature Review: D1

This report summarises the output of WP1: Detailed Problem Definition of the SESAR SUPEROPT project. A pair of challenge scenarios is defined and the proposed optimizers described. The set of scenarios are expanded to define the concepts to be studied in future work; these are described in terms of the proposed interactions between the supervisor and the optimisation.
A 3-D performance model is incorporated into a MILP collision avoidance algorithm based on the EUROCONTROL Base of Aircraft Data (BADA). Initial results for constraining the sense of conflict resolution are presented using four separate formulations: one for 2-D and three for 3-D conflict avoidance.
