Patent number: 11955014Abstract: An ADS-B traffic filter to remove ADS-B positional messages or tracks with unstable ADS-B data or anomalies. The anomaly in ADS-B data can be caused by own ship ADS-B data processing and by errors in ADS-B OUT messages, such as positional outliers, ADS-B OUT parameters gaps, frozen data, walking track when stopped and other issues within ADS-B OUT messages. The ADS-B traffic filter of this disclosure may remove erroneous ADS-B targets from computation input delivered to a traffic collision warning systems in locations where high horizontal position accuracy is desirable such as ground operations. The filter may validate positions decoded from received ADS-B OUT messages, and data history of targets, to independent signal components from ADS-B broadcast (e.g., position and ground speed data), as well as compare the reported position with a reasonability bound provided by local runway or airport geometry data.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Honeywell International s.r.o.Inventors: Martin Puskar, Jan Flasar, Tomas Kralicek, Stephane Marche, Gang He

Publication number: 20230245572Abstract: An ADS-B traffic filter to remove ADS-B positional messages or tracks with unstable ADS-B data or anomalies. The anomaly in ADS-B data can be caused by own ship ADS-B data processing and by errors in ADS-B OUT messages, such as positional outliers, ADS-B OUT parameters gaps, frozen data, walking track when stopped and other issues encoded within ADS-B OUT messages. The ADS-B traffic filter of this disclosure may remove erroneous ADS-B targets from computation input delivered to a traffic collision warning systems in locations where high horizontal position accuracy is desirable such as ground operations. The filter may validate and compare positions decoded from received ADS-B OUT messages, and short duration data history of targets, to independent signal components from ADS-B broadcast (e.g., position and ground speed data), as well as compare the reported position with a reasonability bound provided by local runway or airport geometry data.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2022Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Martin Puskar, Jan Flasar, Tomas Kralicek, Stephane Marche, Gang He

Publication number: 20230127393Abstract: In one embodiment, a system to enhance in-flight controlled rest for a flight crew includes a pilot user interface, a co-pilot user interface, and a flight crew monitoring system. The flight crew monitoring system is configured to: (i) determine a physiological state of both a pilot and a co-pilot, (ii) selectively generate one or more alerts for the pilot and/or the co-pilot based on the determined physiological state, (iii) inhibit generating the one or more alerts for the pilot upon receipt of a first inhibit signal from the pilot user interface, (iv) inhibit generating the one or more alerts for the co-pilot upon receipt of a second inhibit signal from the co-pilot user interface, and (v) generate and store data indicating a time of day and a duration that the one or more alerts for the pilot or co-pilot, respectively, were inhibited.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2021Publication date: April 27, 2023Applicant: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Stephane Marche, Ratan Khatwa, Dariia Averkova

Patent number: 11258750Abstract: A communication system for automatically choosing a communication modality from a plurality of communication modalities for use for communication between distant communication entities is provided. The communication system includes a controller configured to: receive a message in the form of one of a first plurality of modalities from a message originator for transmission to a message recipient and select at least one modality for sending the message to the message recipient. To select the controller is configured to: determine the existence of any predetermined vehicle context requirements, predetermined static requirements, predetermined communication service provider requirements, communication context requirements, message recipient preferences, and message originator preferences; and make the selection based on those requirements and preferences. The controller is further configured to convert the received message to the selected modality and cause the message to be transmitted to the message recipient.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2019Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Stephane Marche, Martin Mlaskac

Publication number: 20120078450Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for executing a single continuous altitude change by an aircraft to cruise altitude using an electronic flight bag via a flight management system. The method comprises the determination of an altitude change in a flight plan during the cruise phase of the flight plan. Based on the altitude change and a mathematical model of the aircraft an optimum vertical trajectory profile or the aircraft is determined from which an angle of attack (AOA) and a thrust is derived to achieve the optimum vertical trajectory. From the AOA and the thrust, the required aircraft control variables are determined that may be applied to the engines and the control surface actuators of the aircraft.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2010Publication date: March 29, 2012Applicant: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Stephane Marche, Petr Krupansky, Tomas Neuzil, George Papageorgiou, Jean-Luc Derouineau
