Systems and methods for enhancing situational awareness of an aircraft on the ground
First Claim
1. A collision avoidance system for a host aircraft, the system comprising:
- a processor for executing one or more instructions that implement one or more functions of the collision avoidance system;
a transceiver for transmitting information from and receiving information for the host aircraft; and
memory for storing the one or more instructions for execution by the processor to implement the one or more functions of the collision avoidance system to;
receive from the transceiver information from another aircraft;
generate from the received information a track for the other aircraft; and
determine whether the track will intersect, within a predefined period of time, a region of interest around the host aircraft, wherein at least one boundary of the region of interest is at least partially based on a geographical feature.

Abstract
A delineated collision avoidance system may comprise a processor for executing one or more instructions that implement one or more functions of the collision avoidance system, a transceiver for transmitting information from and receiving information for the host aircraft, and memory for storing the one or more instructions for execution by the processor to implement the one or more functions of the collision avoidance system to: receive from the transceiver information from another aircraft, generate from the received information a track for the other aircraft, and determine whether the track will intersect within a predefined period of time a region of interest around the host aircraft. In a variation, the system may include a display and the memory may include instructions to: determine whether a predefined condition is satisfied and change an appearance of a symbol shown on the display to indicate that the predefined condition is satisfied.
