Mission 123, do you have
problems?
Judging the way you are flying, you lost the whole
instrument panel!
I think, I have lost my
compass.

Context
• This work continues the research done in the EU SKY-Scanner project (2007 – 2010)
• Project aim was to demonstrate tracking of aircraft with eye-safe laser radar (lidar):– Rotating laser array– Hardware and software for lidar control– Decision support system (DSS) for the air traffic
controllers

Assumptions
• Assumption 1: lidar, used together with the primary radar, provides aircraft position with a high degree of accuracy
• Assumption 2: the DSS simply informs the controller, who takes the decision on actions

Modeling of norms
• We identify “geometrical norms”, i.e. those concerning aircraft position and speed
• Norms are modeled from the perspective of violating them

Modeling of risk
• Each normative rule is represented as a risk definition in the decision support system
• Risk evaluation maps the observed value of the norm factor to a discrete risk level

Norm operationalization steps
1. Set up risk representation structure (risk levels associated with traffic-light colors)
2. Create risk definitions (define factor, expected value, pattern, and thresholds)
3. Set up risk indicators for each risk definition

Wake turbulence
• Vortices generated by the flying aircraft– Persist between 1 and 3 minutes– Descend 500 to 900 feet at distances of up to five
miles behind the aircraft– Wind can cause vortices to drift or to break up

Wake turbulence modeling
• Existing models of wake turbulence:– Behavior of vortices– Affected wake area

Wake area definition in the decision support system
• Wake area is composed of polyhedrons– Leading aircraft’s past positions for the time interval
defined in the norm (i.e. 120 seconds) are used– The risk evaluation estimates the time Δt it takes the
following aircraft to reach the wake area

Conclusions
• The proposed norm operationalization conception (method) enables to represent a subset of aircraft approach/departure normative rules (geometrical norms) in a decision support system for the air traffic controller
• The prototype decision support system provides an integrated solution to facilitating the controller: risk indicators automate detection of possible norm violations
• Phases, needed to operationalize the norms, are identified, but the process cannot be fully automatedJuly 11, 2012 Vilnius University, Faculty of Mathematics and
