The coordinative functions of flight strips air traffic control work revisited

Abstract

Cooperation in time-critical and physically distributed work settings, such as air traffic control, requires extensive coordination between the involved actors. For this oordination to be efficient the controllers rely both on the comprehensive use of rules and procedures, and [...]

Traffic avoidance and separation system

Abstract

ft need to be separated from other aircraft by either a minimum vertical distance of 1000ft or by a minimum horizontal distance of 5NM to avoid mid-air collisions. Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) work well as a tactical safety backups to avoid collision, but cannot [...]

Investigation Into Free Flight Impact On Air Traffic Control

Abstract

This thesis deals with innovative concept of air traffic operations such as Free Flight. First, a baseline is established to determine how controllers operate under the current operation guidelines. Then flight trajectories are developed for different alternatives to the Free Flight [...]

FACES : a Free flight Autonomous and Coordinated Embarked Solver

Abstract

International audience; FACES is an autonomous and coordinated embarked (on board) conflict solver for Free Flight airspace. It solves conflict by computing simple manoeuvres that guarantees conflict free trajectories for the next 5 minutes (min). Coordination is ensured by giving [...]

Relating airspace structure and capacity for extreme traffic densities

Abstract

Personal and unmanned aerial vehicles have received increasing media attention over the last decade. As a result of the growing excitement for these two aircraft types, many within and outside the aerospace industry envision a future in which large numbers of small aircraft fly over [...]
