A new optimization problem to resolve conflicts by allowing aircraft to change both their heading angle and speed is considered. The performance index in the optimization problem is formulated to reduce the variation of the aircraft arrival time that is caused by conflict resolution maneuvers. To achieve both conflict resolution and flow management, metering constraints are introduced together with separation constraints. Even though the performance index and constraints are nonlinear, the optimal solution can be easily obtained by utilizing particle swarm optimization. Numerical simulations are performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, and the numerical experimental results showed a significant reduction in the variation of the aircraft arrival time as well as the magnitude of heading angle and speed changes.
