<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for maintaining a desired level of separation between aircrafts, taking into account various factors that may affect much labor and cost, the ability of the pilot of an aircraft, and the ability of human air traffic controllers required for air traffic control. <P>SOLUTION: A closest point of approach 310 between a first vehicle 302 traveling along a first path 306 and a second vehicle 304 traveling along a second path 308 is predicted. A plurality of compensation commands for altering the first path of the first vehicle are generated using the closest point of approach and a desired level of separation between the first vehicle and the second vehicle. The plurality of compensation commands are integrated with a plurality of control commands for the first vehicle to form a plurality of final control commands configured to maneuver the first vehicle to substantially maintain the desired level of separation between the first vehicle and the second vehicle. A response of the first vehicle to the plurality of final control commands is a desired response. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
