6 results about "Traffic collision avoidance system" patented technology

A traffic collision avoidance system or traffic alert and collision avoidance system (both abbreviated as TCAS, and pronounced /tiːkæs/; TEE-kas) is an aircraft collision avoidance system designed to reduce the incidence of mid-air collisions between aircraft. It monitors the airspace around an aircraft for other aircraft equipped with a corresponding active transponder, independent of air traffic control, and warns pilots of the presence of other transponder-equipped aircraft which may present a threat of mid-air collision (MAC). It is a type of airborne collision avoidance system mandated by the International Civil Aviation Organization to be fitted to all aircraft with a maximum take-off mass (MTOM) of over 5,700 kg (12,600 lb) or authorized to carry more than 19 passengers. CFR 14, Ch I, part 135 requires that TCAS I be installed for aircraft with 10-30 passengers and TCAS II for aircraft with more than 30 passengers.

Simple airborne collision avoidance system

PendingCN122337051ASimulationTrust level
This invention relates to the fields of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology and air traffic safety management, and discloses a simplified airborne collision avoidance system. The system includes a processor, a memory, and a communication interface. When the processor executes a computer program, it implements a multi-source perception and fusion unit, a trust assessment unit, a cooperative mode management unit, and a graded avoidance decision-making unit. It achieves compatibility with existing unsigned broadcasts through graded verification, marking targets with different trust levels and adjusting risk assessment weights accordingly. It identifies authorized targets through authorized cooperative modes, dynamically lowering safety distances or alarm thresholds within the authorized range, and distinguishing between non-contact and contact cooperation. It generates cooperative or non-cooperative avoidance commands through multi-level progressive risk assessment. It supports parsing dynamic sweep area description information from rotating obstacle broadcasts and reconstructing time-varying collision envelopes. This invention is flexible in deployment and can be installed on various aircraft and ground obstacles, improving low-altitude airspace collision avoidance safety.

Method for improving traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) airspace situation monitoring capability

The invention provides a TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) airspace situation monitoring capability improvement method, which comprises the following steps of: obtaining response of a target aircraft by passively receiving position broadcast of the target aircraft in an airspace and actively inquiring the target aircraft, so as to periodically obtain basic information frames such as distance, height, orientation and the like of the aircraft in the airspace; using the obtained target aircraft information frame to judge whether the target aircraft is in a local aircraft monitoring range, and if the target aircraft accords with the local aircraft monitoring range and an initialization condition, establishing initial tracking for the target aircraft; consistency discrimination is carried out on the target aircrafts which have established initial tracking, and if it is judged that multiple tracking aircrafts belong to the same target aircraft, the tracking aircrafts are reserved and abandoned; and converting the monitoring mode of the target aircraft according to the airspace situation, the data quality and the monitoring capacity condition. And traffic situation awareness enhancement and anti-collision warning services can be provided for the aircraft in operation.

ParaDrop Operation Transponder

The ParaDrop Operation Transponder (100) is a device that increases safety, visibility, and separation of paradrop operations by aircraft and air traffic controllers at high-volume airports and remote off-airport DZs (drop zones) for use at all altitudes and during night and day operations. The ParaDrop Operation Transponder (100) provides aircraft the ability to avoid parachute canopies utilized during high speed free fall, all weather and / or night operations. When the aircraft cannot physically see the parachute canopies, the aircraft can still locate the ParaDrop Operation Transponder (100) location on their traffic in-cockpit screens in real time. The GPS transponder (700) within the device is an ADS-B / Mode-S out device that enables the aerial jumper (90) to be detected by Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR), Traffic Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS), and ADS-B IN receivers.

Methods and apparatus for reducing TAWS annoying alarms based on TCAS

ActiveCN117690320BSimulationTerrain awareness and warning system
This invention provides a method for reducing disruptive alarms from the Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS), comprising: using a Terrain Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) to identify the presence of other aircraft within a first horizontal range and a second range below the aircraft; generating a first signal in response to the identification of other aircraft within the first horizontal range and the second range below the aircraft; and providing the first signal to the TAWS to suppress alarm signals issued by the TAWS. Furthermore, this invention also provides a corresponding apparatus. With this invention, disruptive alarms from TAWS GPWS Mode 2 can be effectively suppressed when an aircraft passes overhead causing a jump in radio altitude.
