Conflict Probability and Incrossing Probability in Air Traffic Management
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper studies performance metrics that are of use in the evaluation of conflict detection and resolution in air traffic management. The metrics studied are conflict probability and incrossing probability, both of which are closely related to the safety criteria used by the civil aviation community. The main contribution of this paper is to develop mathematical characterisations for these metrics, and to show typical differences in their behaviour through numerical evaluations of these metrics for some simple examples.

A Strategic and Tactical Tool for ATFM Planning based on Statistics and Probability Theory
This paper presents a novel approach based on statistics and probability theory to improve Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) efficiency. This tool allows air traffic controllers to organize a more efficient air traffic flow pattern for strategic and tactical planning. Firstly, a procedure to establish a strategic arrival schedule is developed. An implicit feature of this probabilistic procedur...

This paper presents an efficient method for estimating the probability of conflict between air traffic within a block of airspace. Autonomous Sense-and-Avoid is an essential safety feature to enable Unmanned Air Systems to operate alongside other (manned or unmanned) air traffic. The ability to estimate probability of conflict between traffic is an essential part of Senseand-Avoid. Such probabi...
متن کاملAircraft Proximity Maps Based on Data-Driven Flow Modeling
With the forecast increase in air traffic demand over the next decades, it is imperative to develop tools to provide traffic flow managers with the information required to support decision making. In particular, decision-support tools for traffic flow management should aid in limiting controller workload and complexity, while supporting increases in air traffic throughput. Indeed, the growth of...
