IPC design validation and flight testing final report
Summary
Summary
A series of flight tests were conducted to evaluate the collision avoidance system known as Intermittent Positive Control (subsequently re-named Automatic Traffic Advisory and Resolution Service, ATARS). These tests involved both professional test pilots and subject pilots selected from the aviation community. This report includes analysis of the collision avoidance...
IPC design validation and flight testing - interim results
Summary
Summary
Intermittent Positive Control, an automated aircraft collision avoidance system requiring the participation of the aircraft pilots involved, is being evaluated in a series of live flight tests. This document provides an interim summary of the results obtained in these flight tests. Results are given for IPC algorithm design evaluation flights...
Plan for flight testing intermittent positive control
Summary
Summary
Intermittent Positive Control is an automated aircraft collision avoidance system requiring the participation of the aircraft pilots involved. The operational interface between pilots and the IPC system is being evaluated in a series of live flight tests. The Lincoln Laboratory DABS Experimental Facility, augmented to include the IPC function, is...
Dual lane runway study, final report
Summary
Summary
The issues in the dual lane runway problem were investigated via computer real time (man in the loop) and fast time (no human input during the simulation run) simulations in order to identify a dual lane runway configuration and determine operation strategies. The real time experiments were conducted using experienced...
