Runway Incursion Prevention System Simulation Evaluation
نویسنده
چکیده
A Runway Incursion Prevention System (RIPS) was evaluated in a full mission simulation study at the NASA Langley Research center in March 2002. RIPS integrates airborne and groundbased technologies to provide (1) enhanced surface situational awareness to avoid blunders and (2) alerts of runway conflicts in order to prevent runway incidents while also improving operational capability. A series of test runs was conducted in a high fidelity simulator. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the RIPS airborne incursion detection algorithms and associated alerting and airport surface display concepts. Eight commercial airline crews participated as test subjects completing 467 test runs. This paper gives an overview of the RIPS, simulation study, and test results.

World Model, Predictive Model, and Behavioral Model of an Anticipatory Reasoning-Reacting System for Runway Incursion Prevention
An anticipatory reasoning-reacting system anticipates based on anticipatory reasoning, which can draw new, previously unknown and/or unrecognized conclusions about some future event or events whose occurrence and truth are uncertain at the point of time when the reasoning is being performed. To perform anticipatory reasoning, we need to express the real world, predictive laws and behavioral pat...
متن کاملRunway incursion alert using knowledge rules
A runway incursion is a situation where two or more aircraft or vehicles occupy one runway simultaneously and as such create a potentially dangerous situation. We can think of many situations where two aircraft/vehicles occupy the same runway simultaneously, but do not cause a conflicting situation, e.g. two taxiing aircraft on a closed runway or a departing aircraft lining up behind a landing ...
متن کاملContrasting safety assessments of a runway incursion scenario: Event sequence analysis versus multi-agent dynamic risk modelling
Recently we compared safety analyses for a runway incursion scenario based on an event sequence analysis, as a key exponent of a traditional risk assessment technique, versus one based on an multi-agent dynamic risk model (DRM), as an exponent of new techniques based on system complexity and variability-based accident models. We found that lower accident risk levels were assessed in the event s...

Limited visibility and reduced situational awareness have been cited as predominant causal factors for both Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) and runway incursion accidents. NASA’s Synthetic Vision Systems (SVS) project is developing practical application technologies with the goal of eliminating low visibility conditions as a causal factor to civil aircraft accidents while replicating the ...
