A decision-theoretic approach to developing robust collision avoidance logic

Abstract: All large transport aircraft are required to be equipped with a collision avoidance system that instructs pilots how to maneuver to avoid collision with other aircraft. The uncertainty in the behavior of the intruding aircraft makes developing a robust collision avoidance logic challenging. This paper presents an automated approach for optimizing collision avoidance logic based on probabilistic models of aircraft behavior and a performance metric that balances the competing objectives of maximizing safety and … Show more

“…Prior work has analyzed TCAS by sweeping through a low-dimensional parametric model of head-on encounters and simulating the collision avoidance system [8]. An alternative approach is to run simulations drawn from a statistical representation of the airspace [9]. Holland et al simulated large numbers of encounters, including tracks from recorded flight data, to evaluate the performance of ACAS X [10].…”

“…In case of emergency, however, current systems may fail to provide critical information. For example, current flight management systems (FMSs) were not designed to provide an assessment of risks associated with the current flight conditions and control choices, nor do they inform the flight crew about possible actions that would improve safety of flight, except in specific cases such as the traffic collision-avoidance system [3,5,6]. Such information is vital to guide the flight crew in the decision-making process during emergencies, particularly when the workload is high and real-time safety-critical decisions are required.…”
