Real-time, ground-based concept for conflict detection, compatible with air traffic control systems, is presented; aircraft position and evaluation of aircraft flight paths to predict potential conflict are determined; smoothed velocity vector is developed and extrapolated; intersections of extrapolated paths of each aircraft with all other aircraft are determined; conflict condition is predicted when time to go for any aircraft to intersection is less than some allowable time; en-route situations as well as problems arising around terminals and parallel runways are considered; it is claimed that 2000 aircraft can be accommodated; discussed also is method for checking aircraft altimeter readout from ground; potential cost of conflict detection system is compared with other approaches, and required computing methods are described; implementation of this concept is practicable with parallel computational capabilities of associative processor and discretely addressable beacon transponder.
