Systems and methods for detecting potential surface collisions and providing warnings onboard an aircraft or airport vehicle

摘要

A method for providing surface collision warning data onboard a first airport vehicle comprising an aircraft or other airport vehicle configured for ground-based travel, by a processor communicatively coupled to a system memory element, is provided. The method aggregates, by the processor, three-dimensional (3D) spatial data associated with the first airport vehicle, an airport, and external airport vehicles located at the airport, to generate a set of aggregate data for the airport; determines a trajectory intent for each of the external airport vehicles; identifies potential surface collisions between the first airport vehicle and the external airport vehicles and between the first airport vehicle and the airport structures, based on the set of aggregate data for the airport, the trajectory intent for each of the external airport vehicles, and a trajectory associated with the first airport vehicle; and presents alerts associated with the potential surface collisions, via a display device communicatively coupled to the processor.
