An Automated Avoidance Approach for Multiple General-Aviation Conflicts

Air traffic controllers (ATC) face daily major concerns which are controlled Airspace (CAS) infringements. An infringement is when a general aviation (GA) aircraft penetrates CASs without an advanced clearance from the ATC. These infringements could cause a mid air collision with authorized aircraft inside CAS which their conflict was not resolved ahead of time. It also disrupts ATCs operations by creating additional workload and revising new manoeuvre tactics. In the last two papers, they were focused on predicting future locations and find their probability of infringements to alert ATC in advance. So far, they have been dealing when one aircraft approaching CAS, in this paper however, focuses on the scenario when multiple aircraft infringe CAS, in case the ATC did not react quickly enough. As of 2020, it is mandatory for all GA to be equipped with a transponder which sends information such as flight ID, exact location and altitude. Therefore, using this assumption we are investigating a possible model which alerts and directs multiple GA out of CAS without interfering with commercial traffic. Kinetic tri-angulation method will be used as an automated manoeuvring tactic, leaving the ATC focusing on only to direct commercial flights.
