  • Patent number: 6064939
    Abstract: An individual guidance system for aircraft in an approach control area under automatic dependent surveillance which, by supplying the pilot with the required flight data automatically in units of micro air spaces, permits safe and accurate flight with little scope for human error, being an individual guidance system for aircraft in an approach control area under automatic dependent surveillance wherein the air-traffic control system divides the approach control area automatically into a group of micro air spaces, and establishes flight rules within the micro air spaces in order to guide aircraft by establishing no-fly air spaces.

  • Patent number: 5941929
    Abstract: A plurality of control terminals are arranged to a plurality of control sections. Flight plan data of each control target aircraft is stored in a flight plan data management unit. The present positions of the control target aircraft are checked and acquired by an aircraft position information acquisition unit. The control states of the control target aircraft are managed by a control progress information management unit. The history of control of each control target aircraft is stored in a control progress information storage unit. A control target aircraft prediction unit predicts control target aircraft after a predetermined time on the basis of the control progress information and flight plan information. A control terminal assignment processing unit increases/decreases the number of control terminals on the basis of the prediction result and determines a control terminal for controlling control target aircraft.

  • Patent number: 5742508
    Abstract: A user interface apparatus for an electronic operation strip control system for supporting control services by presenting electronic operation strips used in airport control to a plurality of controllers who carry out airport terminal radar control services and entering control services previously distributed and associated with each other, including an information display device and an instruction input device provided for each controller. Operation strip control information items necessary for respective distributed control services are obtained and inputted into an information processing section, where the items are edited and processed in correspondence with the distributed control services and in accordance with contents of instructions from an instruction input device.
