Abstract

A method to enhance separation assurance algorithms using a "mitigation" concept has been developed. The critical situation, in which pair of aircraft could collided within a short period of time due to unexpected blunders, has been modeled. An algorithm has been developed to identify all pairs of aircraft that have such a dangerous situation, and tested through simulation with NASA CTAS predicted trajectories data. The result shows that the algorithm tries to ensure that, even if some worst-case maneuver occurs at the wrong time, controllers (or automated agents) will have sufficient time to intervene to prevent a collision, with the implication of significantly improving the safety of separation assurance algorithms.
