METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DETECTING A POTENTIAL CONFLICT BETWEEN AIRCRAFT ON AN AIRPORT SURFACE
First Claim
1. A method for determining a potential conflict between a first aircraft and a second aircraft on an airport surface, the method comprising the steps of:
- defining a first aircraft boundary around the first aircraft, based on data related to dimensions of the first aircraft;
defining a second aircraft boundary around the second aircraft, based on data related to dimensions of the second aircraft; and
determining a potential conflict exists between the first and the second aircraft, based on the first aircraft boundary and the second aircraft boundary.
