Air Traffic Collision Avoidance Tools

High-Performance Collision Avoidance Engine

We have combined computational geometry algorithms with high-performance hardware to develop one of the fastest and most efficient collision avoidance engines.

Running on reliable commercial-off-the-shelf high-performance hardware, our engine computes loss-of-separation information for about 1000 aircraft simultaneously within a millisecond in the worst case. On average, the computing latency (bar network) is in the nanosecond domain. This is more than 10,000 times faster than common conflict detection engines running on classical servers.

The massive scalability of this engine together with its superior algorithms will will put clients in a position to efficiently manage air traffic volumes of a much greater extent with many more objects simultaneously in air to achieve the air traffic management capabilities as envisioned by SESAR and NextGen.

Air Traffic Collision Simulation Tool

What if…? The collision simulation tool has been developed to explore alternatives. The tool takes recorded traffic scenarios, adds arbitrary and arbitrarily many objects e.g. dynamic terrain, weather, volcanic emissions, space debris, or bird flock movement down to a single bird.

All objects can change shape and perform movements with full six degrees of freedom. The augmented scenario is visualised as an animation with collisions or interaction highlighted.
