This is a report on the results of a simulation experiment conducted on an automated distributed system for scheduling flights in a shared airspace. The scheduling is carried out by computer systems owned by the private operators of the flights, which interface through a centralized independent server. The scheduling requires determining which of the group of flights at hand (whether owned by the same operator or different ones) are to have the advantage of being scheduled before the others. A chosen method of grouping and prioritizing flights must: have the ability to schedule a flight promptly, prevent scheduling conflicts between pairs of overlapping flight routes, and be computationally feasible. Scheduling flights one by one is the First Come First Served policy. Scheduling too many at a time is infeasible. The type of scheduling policy proposed herein, called bin-and-sort, is an attempt to reach a compromise between these two extremes. Bin-and-sort allows for each operator to choose its criteria for prioritizing its flights, and for the centralized component to use different arbitration criteria. A number of these criteria are used in the simulation presented herein. The results of each criterion choice are reported and analyzed.
