Multiaircraft Optimal 4D Trajectory Planning Using Logical Constraints by Dinesh B. Seenivasan, Alberto Olivares, Ernesto Staffetti

“…This paper studies the trajectory planning problem for multiple aircraft with logical constraints in disjunctive form which arise in modeling passage through waypoints, distance-based and time-based separation constraints, decision-making processes, conflict resolution policies, no-fly zones, or obstacle or storm avoidance. Enforcing separation between aircraft, passage through waypoints, and obstacle avoidance is especially demanding in terms of modeling efforts. …”
