Abstract: To address the disturbance like extreme weather conditions and air traffic control for military activities, a dynamic network flow method is proposed. Firstly, combined with the characteristics of civil aviation control in China, the impact of emergencies on traffic management is analyzed. Also, this paper uses the graph theory to establish a mathematical model for en-route network and flight level. Then the aircraft is divided into large, medium, and small traffic flows, introducing the necessity of using the multi-commodity flow method. Secondly, considering the condition of network congestion varies with time and traffic flow, the random changes of dangerous weather, and the characteristics of air holding and ground holding cost, three optimization objectives are defined, then the multi-objective mathematical model is constructed with the constraint of airport capacity, sector capacity, flight continuity, and sector continuity. Thirdly, to deal with the demand conflict with military activities and the defects of high time complexity in the multi-commodity flow model that can not meet the demand of short-term flow management, the progressive tolerance constraint method is improved, and a phased solution approximation algorithm is designed. Finally, a part of the airspace of the Southwest Air Traffic Control Administration is used for simulation in three scenarios. Simulation results show that the proposed model and algorithm can effectively solve the short-term traffic management problem under emergencies. The algorithm is more efficient than the traditional algorithm under large traffic flows.
