Methodology for automatic assessment of the convergencing aircraft hazard in the event of separation intervals violation
DOI 10.51955/2312-1327_2024_4_18
Abstract. The article proposes a method for automated high-precision assessment of the danger of approaching aircraft in case of violation of established separation standards on a continuous 100-point scale. The technique is a step-by-step search for the maximum hazard of approaching aircraft from the moment of the beginning of the violation of separation intervals to the end of the conflict situation. The main criterion for assessment is the linear functional dependence of the values of the minimum distances between aircraft, weighted in the established separation standards. A 100-point assessment will allow for the comparison and comparison of potential hazard between different facts of violations of separation standards, the severity of the threats and risks to flight safety contained therein.
Using “perceived hazard” as a reference points allows assessing the level of flight safety even in the absence of violations of separation intervals for the selected reporting period. The analysis of the estimates obtained using the methodology will help to take timely preventive measures to eliminate potential threats even before the occurrence of real aviation events.
It is advisable to use this methodology in solving the tasks of automating the assessment of practical skills of air traffic control personnel and creating an automatic flight safety management system.
Keywords: normalized coordinate system, normalized distance, violation of separation intervals, hazard of convergence, methodology for assessing the hazard of convergence.
