Application of artificial locust swarm routing algorithm for VFR flights planning
Mathematical Modeling, Vol. 5 (2021), Issue 4, pg(s) 124-127
Along recent years an approach of Artificial Locust Swarm Routing (ALSR) algorithm was developed for flights planning in Europe and for rules provided in EuroControl area of responsibility. Most researches were strictly related to IFR type of flights. However, there is a big area of interest in private aviation for short local flights under the top of VFR flight levels (FL195 and below). These flights have much specificity for planning and ALSR algorithm is found capable of solving these problems also, using this same idea of the algorithm like it was developed for IFR flights. One may see that the algorithm shows rather good results for such difficult area like Swiss Alps valleys and canyons.
