efficiency, and enhancing coordination.” And because of the importance of smart air
traffic management for the future development of air traffic management system, at
home and abroad, a lot of research has been proposed for this field, based on recent
research results in the field of smart air traffic management at home and abroad, the
paper will comb the concept and connotation and application and expansion of smart
air traffic management and discuss the development trend and priority of future research
in the field of smart air traffic management.
2 Concept and Connotation of Smart ATM
With the development of the new generation of information technology and the continuous expansion of the concept of “smart,” the concept of smart air traffic management came into being. Wenxian and Xinping [2] proposed the concept of smart air
traffic management earlier, they believe that the smart air traffic management system is
a novel air traffic management system fully incorporating new generation of information technologies, in which sensors are equipped and universally connected, forming
the “Internet of things for ATM” and contributing to the real-time surveillance and
control for air traffic. The heterogeneous information from “Internet of things for
ATM” is fused and processed through advanced computer platform. Then, the processed information is provided to every domain application platform, fulfilling more
precise and more dynamic air traffic management. The concept basically applies the
relevant fusion concept in the smart earth and depicts the basic logical framework of
the smart air traffic management.
Jidong [3] strengthens the importance of Internet and artificial intelligence technology in the connotation of smart air traffic management, and he believes that in the
smart air traffic management system, smart refers to the use of Internet technology to
give management equipment some abilities of artificial intelligence, so that it can make
its own judgment quickly and accurately, with certain mechanical smartness. This
connotation also highlights an important feature of the smart air traffic management,
which is to improve the production efficiency and diversity of assistant decisionmaking of air traffic controller through technical means [4] and reduce the amount of
labor for them.
Hongyu et al. [5] proposed a concept of smart air traffic management and designed
the overall framework of smart air traffic management system including sensing layer,
network layer, platform layer, application layer, and visualization layer (Fig. 1). The
sensing layer obtains information, the network layer transmits information, and the
platform layer implements information storage, information exchange, information
processing, etc., and the application layer covers control command, airspace management, air traffic flow management, flight service, low-altitude/general aviation,
unmanned aircraft air traffic management, etc., and the visual layer provides efficient
and intelligent interaction. Flexible and scalable basic platform and air traffic management applications can be realized through layered principles.
