Surface Conflict Detection and Resolution NASA Research Announcement Workshop NASA researchers hosted a workshop on January 19, 2011 to review responses to a NASA Research Announcement (NRA) providing concepts and requirements for surface conflict detection and resolution. Sensis Inc. and Optimal Synthesis Inc. provided in-depth analysis and description of airport surface conflict detection and resolution systems. The two teams addressed various conflicts, including scheduling, taxiway, and runway conflicts. Each team presented unique and sophisticated solutions for generating surface conflict alerts and identifying algorithms for tactical conflict resolution. These conflict detection and resolution functions will serve as tools in a broader system to enable more efficient and safe airport operations. In addition to presentations given by the two companies, NASA researchers presented material related to airport surface research enabling a common ground between the NRA responses and NASA research. The workshop adjourned by discussing potential directions for increased collaboration and unification to support NASA research goals. These NRA efforts are funded by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. + Back to Top Patents Awarded in Aviation Systems Division Two patents awarded in 2010 for work performed in the Aviation Systems Division were recently recognized at a ceremony at Ames Research Center on January 26, 2011. One patent was awarded to Russell Paielli, on “Trajectory Specification for High-Capacity Air Traffic Control.” The second patent was awarded to the developers of the Future Air traffic management Concepts Evaluation Tool (FACET) (Dr. Banavar Sridhar, Dr. Kapil Sheth, Dr. Gano Chatterji, Dr. Karl Bilimoria, and Dr. Shon Grabbe) for “Air Traffic Management Evaluation Tool.” + Back to Top |
