As air traffic intensity increases and stochastic uncertainties, such as wind direction and speed, continue to impact air traffic controllers' workload significantly, airlines are increasingly pressured to reduce costs by flying via straighter/more direct trajectories. Due to these changes, it is important to search for new means/solutions for aircraft conflict resolution to ensure the required level of safety and rational flight trajectory. Such a solution could be the implementation of Dubin's method of flight trajectories.

Regional air traffic management (ATM) programs aim to make ATM safer and more efficient through a higher level of automation for such processes as dynamic aircraft systems concurrent events detection and, consequently, resolution. Therefore, wind and aircraft speed uncertainty parameters should be properly addressed.

Objectives: Using the container terminal at Klaipėda in Lithuania as the background for the research, we produced an improved energy consumption model for measuring the theoretical energy consumption and regeneration of diesel trucks at the terminal and provide a comparative analysis.
Methods: We created a mathematical model which describes the instantaneous energy consumption of the diesel trucks, taking into account their dynamic properties and the overall geometry of their routes-"Ship-Truck-Stack-Ship"-using the superposition principle.
