Collection description

The work focuses on the application of ADS-B surveillance data as inputs for conflict detection algorithms, in order to support future self-separation as well as collision avoidance systems. In particular, an approach is here proposed for conflict detection between ownship and surrounding ADS-B OUT equipped aircraft, which uses traffic position and velocity data provided by the on-board ADS-B IN device. The intended system applicability is for both manned commercial aircraft, as an aid to pilots, and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), where high automation levels are required, as part of an autonomous Sense-And-Avoid system. In the first part of the work, a detailed analysis on state of the art of the SAA systems is shown investigating the architectures based on cooperative and non-cooperative sensors. In the expected evolution of surveillance systems for aircraft applications in the next years, the Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) implementation on-board vehicles plays a fundamental role hence, in the second part, a detailed analysis about ADS-B system is reported. The advantages and the drawbacks related to the adoption of this sensor for a SAA architecture are also investigated. In the third part the architecture of the proposed system is presented including a description of the software modules, focusing on the specific applications devoted to surveillance data processing and conflicts identification and prioritization. Finally test scenarios, and the related results, are presented and discussed. In particular off-line and real-time tests, with an hardware in the loop architecture, have been carried out. The activities hereafter reported have been carried out in the framework of a collaboration between the Italian Aerospace Research Centre (CIRA), where the author is employed in the field of air transport sustainability, and the University of Naples "Federico II".
