Improving the Accuracy of Air Traffic Simulation Using a 5-DOF Aircraft Dynamic Model with BADA

초록

Air Traffic Control (ATC) simulation requires an aircraft dynamic model that is accurate and efficient. In this research, a five degree of freedom (5-DOF) dynamic model with feedback control and guidance law is developed, which utilizes selected performance data and operational specifications from the Base of Aircraft Data (BADA) to improve the fidelity. The dynamic model is validated by comparing the simulation results with recorded flight trajectories. In addition, takeoff weight is estimated based on the aircraft type and flight plan to improve simulation accuracy. This 5DOF model can be used for various ATC related research.
