Abstract

This paper proposes an algorithm generating a set of conflict-free safe trajectories in terrain conditions from an arbitrary initial position to a given synchronization point with a reference aircraft in front. We also design a speed calculation algorithm along the generated flight trajectories that ensures a required longitudinal separation margin at the synchronization point.
