The layered safety concept, an integrated approach to the design and validation of air traffic management enhancements

The expected growth of air traffic asks for large enhancements in continental Air Traffic Management (ATM) to increase capacity. From a technology point of view a multitude of 'solutions' are available, such as introducing air-ground datalink, providing better support to the ATCo (Air Traffic Controller), introducing 4D air traffic control,...

A stochastic control approach to flight path monitoring

In the Programme for Harmonised Air Traffic management Research in Eurocontrol (PHARE) Medium Term Scenario, a number of Advanced Tools are described which must be developed in order to increase Air Traffic Control capacity and the flight efficiency of aircraft while keeping at least the same level of safety. One of these Tools is the Flight...

Probabilistic Approaches toward Conflict Prediction

In this paper four conflict prediction approaches are considered: a classical geometric approach, two variations of a probabilistic approach developed by Paielli ÖC Erzberger, based on conflict probability and overlap probability, and a novel probabilistic approach. The objective of all conflict prediction approaches is to evaluate a set of...

Human cognition modelling in ATM safety assessment

This paper develops a mathematical model for cognitive performance of a tactical air traffic controller in an en-route ATC context. The aim of this model-based approach is to enable the evaluation of both accident risk and aspects like cognitive workload and effectiveness of ATC in managing air traffic situations safely.Use is made of human...

Comparison of a jump-diffusion tracker with a Kalman tracker: an evaluation with emphasis on air traffic control

A sophisticated starting point for a probabilistic approach to the radar tracking problem is a Markov jump-diffusion model for the aircraft dynamics, its control and the radar measurements. From nonlinear filtering theory, a closed form description of the evolution of the conditional distribution of this Markov process can be obtained. This jump...

On strong Markov property of solutions to stochastic differential equations on hybrid state spaces

In this paper we study a class of strong Markov solutions to stochastic differential equations on a hybrid state spaces. We construct stochastic hybrid processes as solutions to Ito-Skorohod type stochastic differential equations. Then we present strong existence and uniqueness results and show that under weak conditions these solutions are...
