Patent number: 9324238Abstract: The use of dynamic collision avoidance parameters in connection with automatic dependent surveillance, broadcast, as well as for other purposes in systems and methods may assist collision avoidance and/or advisory systems in properly identifying intruders for reporting to pilots. For example, a method can include monitoring for a triggering event with respect to at least one of geographic coordinates and a flight path of an aircraft. The method can also include detecting the triggering event. The method can further include altering at least one characteristic of at least one of a traffic alerting system and an advisory system based on detecting the triggering event.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2011Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: Aviation Communication & Surveillance Systems LLCInventors: Gregory T.
