1. A method for conflict detection of an aircraft, comprising:
- reducing, using at least one processor, one or more vehicle travel paths in a three dimensional space to a first dimension;
receiving, using the at least one processor, data corresponding to a motion of the aircraft;
mapping, using the at least one processor, the motion to the one or more vehicle travel paths in the first dimension; and
transmitting, using the at least one processor, an alert if a potential conflict is determined based on the mapping in the one or more vehicle travel paths in the first dimension.
