METHOD FOR COUPLING FLIGHT PLAN AND FLIGHT PATH USING ADS-B INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method for coupling a flight plan and a flight path using automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) information in an air traffic control system for controlling traffic of an aircraft by including a surveillance data processing unit providing a system track that is a data estimating a position and a speed of the aircraft, a flight data processing unit processing and managing data related to the flight plan, and a display unit providing a control screen to an air traffic controller, the method comprising:
- a) receiving, by the surveillance data processing unit, radar information and the ADS-B information (ADS-B track or ADS-B plot) and fusing the two information to generate the system track;
b) receiving, by the flight data processing unit, the system track from the surveillance data processing unit and receiving the ADS-B information separately from the surveillance data processing unit to couple the flight path and the pre-stored flight plan; and
c) receiving, by the display unit, the system track and the flight plan to display a current flight state.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for coupling a flight plan and a flight path using ADS-B information, and more specifically to a method for coupling a flight plan and a flight path, wherein a flight data processing unit of an air traffic control system or an arrival management system separately and directly receives ADS-B information such that the received ADS-B information can be used for coupling a flight plan and a flight path of an aircraft.

5. A method for coupling a flight plan and a flight path using ADS-B information in an arrival management system performing scheduling of aircrafts so that the aircrafts arrive at a certain point within a flight information region (FIR) at regular intervals, the method comprising:
-
1) receiving, by a surveillance data processing unit, radar information and the ADS-B information and fusing the two information to generate a system track; 2) receiving, by an arrival management system, the system track from the surveillance data processing unit and receiving the flight plan from the flight data processing unit; 3) receiving, by the arrival management system, the ADS-B information separately from the surveillance data processing unit and coupling the flight path including the received ADS-B information and the received system track with the received flight plan; and 4) generating the flight path of the aircraft using the coupled flight plan and flight path to schedule an arrival interval between the aircrafts. - View Dependent Claims (6)
