  • Patent number: 6282487
    Abstract: Weather information is stored in a weather information storage unit. Information of aircraft flight situation, flight plan, air traffic flow management, and condition status is stored in an aircraft information storage unit. On the basis of information stored in the weather information storage unit and the aircraft information storage unit, arrival time of each arriving aircraft and departing aircraft is predicted by an arrival time prediction unit and a departure time prediction unit. The information of the estimated time thus predicted is stored in an estimated time of takeoff and landing storage unit. On the other hand, on the basis of information stored in information storage units, runway use time is assigned to each arriving aircraft and departing aircraft by a takeoff and landing assignment unit in accordance with Control System Standards. Runway reservation information thus obtained is stored in a reservation information storage unit.

  • Patent number: 6144915
    Abstract: In a path determining section, an optimum path is calculated based on detection/storage information of a position detector, airport surface information storage section, aircraft information storage section and knowledge information storage section according to an instruction request from a request information input section of an aircraft and is indicated by a path indicator of the aircraft. Further, a collision determining section calculates the possibility of collision on the optimum path obtained in the path determining section according to the coordinates and traveling directions of all of the aircraft based on the above detection/storage information and a warning is indicated by a warning indicator of the aircraft.
