Improved methods and systems for detecting self-alerts from upload messages in a TIS system to thereby eliminate the likelihood of TIS self-alerts appearin g on CDTI displays. The present invention determines whether a self-alert was present in a previous traffic information uplink to determine whether a targ et in a current information uplink is real. Using a weighting algorithm, typically a fuzzy logic algorithm, a system in accordance with the present invention can distinguish between targets in consecutive radar sweeps to identify self-alerts. If the self-alert was not present in previous uplinks, then the system removes the self-alert from subsequent views on the CDTI. Thus, the present invention provides an improved visual display system for pilots and air traffic controllers.
