PROCEDE DE DETERMINATION D'UN CHEMIN DE ROULAGE D'UN AERONEF SUR UNE ZONE AEROPORTUAIRE

The general field of the invention is that of methods for determining a taxiing path of an aircraft over an airport area. The method is implemented by the avionics system of the aircraft. It comprises the following steps: Determining the "nodes" of a connectivity graph, said nodes representing the junction points between the traffic lanes of said airport area; Determining the useful arcs joining said nodes and representing the network of traffic lanes that can be taken by the aircraft; Attributing a "weight" to each useful arc; Determining the optimal path by an algorithm of Dijkstra type starting from the present position of the aircraft up to its destination position and passing through datum points; Computing, and displaying a graphical representation including a representation of the airport area, of the aircraft and of the optimal path.
