The parameters below specify a "safety cylinder" with radius H and height V. Each aircraft has its own cylinder, based on its type. A Kalman filter is used to detect potential convergence, i.e., the possibility that among each pair of aircraft at least one will enter another’s safety cylinder in T seconds. This is considered a pontential collision and a warning will be issued.
• The following values have been adapted for use with UgCS ADS-B collision warning service, among two classes of aircraft:
Values for vehicles controlled by UgCS (assumed to be drones):
Parameter | Parameter | Unit of measurement |
---|---|---|
H (horizontal distance) | 20 | Metres |
V (vertical distance) | 15 | Metres |
T (warning time ) | 60 | Seconds |
Values for vehicles observed by UgCS (assumed to be planes, values based on ICAO recommendations):
Parameter Value Unit of measurement
Parameter | Value | Unit of measurement |
---|---|---|
H (horizontal distance) | 9260 (5) | Metres (Nautical Miles) |
V (vertical distance) | 300 | Metres |
T (warning time ) | 60 | Seconds |
