Airborne Collision Avoidance Considerations for Simultaneous Parallel Approach Operations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract Required Navigation Performance (RNP) procedures to closely-spaced parallel runways that include curved approach transitions afford many benefits such as reduced track miles, less fuel burn and emissions, and the potential for routings around noise sensitive areas. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) NextGen program plans to roll out “Established on RNP” (EoR) simultaneous approach procedures to suitable airports across the U.S. National Airspace System. In addition, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is planning revisions to guidelines related to these procedures which initially rely on lateral vs. vertical separation.

Next - 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...

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...
