Abstract

The paper is mainly concerned with the principles used by TCAS (Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System) to resolve conflicts between airborne aircraft. It leans heavily on an earlier paper which describes the threat-detection process. The simulation results given were obtained using a fast-time computer model for random traffic and comprise statistics on miss distance, warning time, etc., for a simple traffic pattern.
