Publication number: 20210241629Abstract: An aircraft traffic control method is described which includes receiving data concerning the position of aircrafts, creating a real-time map of aircraft traffic based on the position data; checking the possibility of a collision between aircrafts on the basis of the map, and, in the event that such check is positive, sending an anti-collision alert to the aircrafts. The method is implemented using an RTS server (Real Time Server) configured to communicate with navigational devices on board aircrafts and provided with an application configured to communicate data concerning the position of the aircrafts to the RTS server.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2018Publication date: August 5, 2021Applicant: VINATI S.R.L.Inventors: Felice VINATI, Giacomo VINATI, Matteo VINATI, Mariachiara VINATI, Samuele VINATI
