ABSTRACT

This paper studied air traffic complexity by the theory of complex analysis. The calculation system of air traffic complexity measure and the robustness analysis of air traffic flow were proposed. When the aircraft influenced the air traffic flow complexity mostly, the flight warning system began to work. This paper discussed the theory of the monitoring and early warning based on the complexity of air traffic complexity measure analysis. The studies shown that the method provided in this paper could discern the state parameter associated through technical indicators from complex, uncertain data in the calculation of system complexity, and the research also pointed out the flights which had larger effects on the air traffic through robustness change. The researches show that the complexity theory proposed in this paper can carry on monitoring and early warning on flights through the complexity measure and the air traffic complexity analysis.
