With increased airspace flow, the complexity of the airspace operation environment has also increased. The discrete division of controlled airspace improves operational efficiency, optimizes decision-making operations, and avoids airspace congestion. The research results demonstrate that the application of the discrete division methodology significantly improves overall operational efficiency.
With the increase in airspace flow, the complexity of the airspace operation environment has also increased. Against this backdrop, improving the operational efficiency of airspace is crucial to ensure its efficient operation. The discrete division of controlled airspace represents a novel methodology for achieving this end. This approach involves visualizing the use of the airspace, quantifying and evaluating the operational efficiencies of airspace environments, and assessing specific metrics during an allocated time period. In this study, a discrete unit model was constructed to hierarchically subdivide complex airspace into static obstacles and aircraft-occupied space units, which facilitated the optimization of decision-making operations for multiple aircraft in airspace using the discrete method. Furthermore, busy airspace units could be effectively avoided. Finally, by using the extended analytic hierarchy process, we evaluated the threshold value of airspace operational efficiency improvement when operation efficiency metrics were enhanced via discrete approaches. The results indicated that the threshold value was 0.02168, classified as good, which represented an improvement in comparison with the original value of airspace operational efficiency (0.03173). These findings demonstrated that the application of the discrete division methodology significantly improved the overall operational efficiency of the airspace.
