چکیده
The paper provides an overview of the development and operational deployment of the Traffic alert Collision Avoidance system (TCAS). TCAS was one of the first software based “safety of life” systems deployed in aircraft.

A Bayesian Network Model of Pilot Response to TCAS Resolution Advisories
The effectiveness of an airborne collision avoidance system (CAS) is influenced by the manner in which pilots respond to the system’s advisories. Current pilot response models used in CAS modeling and simulation are agnostic to parameters affecting pilot response in individual encounters and therefore treat all encounters equally. Simulations using these models can potentially underestimate col...
متن کاملDifferential Adaptive Stress Testing of Airborne Collision Avoidance Systems
The next-generation Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS X) is currently being developed and tested to replace the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) as the next international standard for collision avoidance. To validate the safety of the system, stress testing in simulation is one of several approaches for analyzing nearmid-air collisions (NMACs). Understanding how NMACs...
متن کاملUnmanned Aircraft Collision Avoidance Using Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes
Before unmanned aircraft can fly safely in civil airspace, robust airborne collision avoidance systems must be developed. Instead of hand-crafting a collision avoidance algorithm for every combination of sensor and aircraft configuration, this project investigates the automatic generation of collision avoidance logic given models of aircraft dynamics, sensor performance, and intruder behavior. ...
متن کاملTCAS: A System for Preventing Midair Collisions
To reduce the possibility of midair collisions, the Federal Aviation Administration has developed the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System, or TCAS. This airborne system senses the presence of nearby aircraft by interrogating the transponders carried by these aircraft. When TCAS senses that a nearby aircraft is a possible collision threat, TCAS issues a traffic advisory to the pilot, in...
متن کاملNext - Generation Airborne Collision Avoidance System
Building a collision avoidance system that can meet the safety standards required of commercial aviation is challenging. Lincoln Laboratory, in collaboration with other organizations, spent decades developing and refining the system that is in use today [1]. There are several reasons why creating a robust system is difficult. The sensors available to the system are imperfect and noisy, resultin...
