Airborne Tactical Intent-Based Conflict Resolution Capability

چکیده
Trajectory-based operations with self-separation involve the aircraft taking the primary role in the management of its own trajectory in the presence of other traffic. In this role, the flight crew assumes the responsibility for ensuring that the aircraft remains separated from all other aircraft by at least a minimum separation standard. These operations are enabled by cooperative airborne surveillance and by airborne automation systems that provide essential monitoring and decision support functions for the flight crew. An airborne automation system developed and used by NASA for research investigations of required functionality is the Autonomous Operations Planner. It supports the flight crew in managing their trajectory when responsible for self-separation by providing monitoring and decision support functions for both strategic and tactical flight modes. The paper focuses on the latter of these modes by describing a capability for tactical intent-based conflict resolution and its role in a comprehensive suite of automation functions supporting trajectory-based operations with self-separation.

Formal methods in computer science refers to the use of logic and mathematics to verify that a system design and its implementation satisfy functional requirements and safety properties. Despite the fact that several Conflict Detection and Resolution (CD&R) systems have been proposed in the past few years, very few of these systems have been described and analyzed using formal methods. Therefor...
متن کاملAn empirically grounded agent based model for modeling directs, conflict detection and resolution operations in air traffic management
We present an agent based model of the Air Traffic Management socio-technical complex system aiming at modeling the interactions between aircraft and air traffic controllers at a tactical level. The core of the model is given by the conflict detection and resolution module and by the directs module. Directs are flight shortcuts that are given by air controllers to speed up the passage of an air...
متن کاملFundamental Characteristics of Decentralized Air Traffic Flow Control in High Density Corridor
Fundamental characteristics of decentralized separation control in a high density air corridor are discussed. A high density air corridor is expected to be an air space where aircraft capable of airborne self-separation are allowed to fly into the same direction. Some decentralized control algorithms are indispensable for its operational safety and a large traffic throughput. In this study two ...
