Air-Traffic Control in Approach Sectors: Simulation Examples and Optimisation

In this contribution we consider the approach to the runway as a case study of our research on conflict resolution for Air-Traffic Control with stochastic models. We simulate the approach for landing and optimise the maneuver through a simulation based optimisation strategy.
