Strategic Conflict Detection and Resolution Using Aircraft Intent Information

This paper develops a strategic, aircraft performance-based, Conflict Detection and Resolution (CDR) algorithm for use in automated decision support tools in future air traffic management systems. For the first time, aircraft intent information is used together with a novel trajectory prediction model to facilitate CDR. The paper demonstrates the algorithm’s ability to generate conflict-free trajectories for participating aircraft that accounts for actual aircraft capabilities to perform recommended resolution manoeuvres. Subsequently, visiting researchers from Tokyo University (nonose@cse.sys.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp) and the Electronic Navigation Research Institute, Japan (s-inoue@enri.go.jp) spent 2 years at Imperial developing CDR procedures based on this algorithm.
