This paper describes a MultiPurpose Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (MPCDTI), which integrates core functional capabilities that can be combined in various ways to perform ADS-B In applications in the NextGen environment. The MPCDTI is different from other CDTIs in that it packages the capability to manage multiple applications within a single piece of equipment. Four key elements of the MPCDTI have been defined: elemental functions, simultaneous enablement, automatic algorithm selection, and output arbitration. These elements allow compatible functions to be enabled and prevent the MPCDTI from outputting infeasible or conflicting guidance to the flight crew. The objectives of this paper are to present the key features of the MPCDTI and also to suggest a functional approach for developing MPCDTI and future application performance requirements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
