Modeling and simulation of intrinsic uncertainties in validation of collision avoidance systems

Airborne collision avoidance systems (ACASs) form a key safety barrier by providing last-moment resolution advisories (RAs) to pilots for avoiding midair collisions. Intrinsic uncertainties, such as noise in ACAS input signals and variability in pilot performance, imply that the generation of RAs and the effectuated aircraft trajectories are...
