Patent number: 11341861Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for environmental data sharing and context-based relevance determination. One method comprises receiving, by an environmental condition response system of a receiving vehicle, environmental data associated with a sending vehicle. Then, the environmental condition response system of the receiving vehicle analyzes the received environmental data for relevance based on contextual information of the receiving vehicle. Based on determining that the received environmental data is relevant to the receiving vehicle, the environmental condition response system determines a remedial action and sends instructions to perform the remedial action to a corresponding vehicle component system of the receiving vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2018Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Sivakumar Kanagarajan, Jason Marcel Garde, Visvanathan Thanigai Nathan, Amrit Kaur Mann

Patent number: 9643735Abstract: Flight deck systems are provided for integrating braking action information with flight deck runway functions. In one embodiment, the flight deck system includes a cockpit display device on which an airport display, such as a two dimensional or three dimensional Airport Moving Map, is generated. A controller is coupled to the cockpit display device and configured to produce a braking action graphic on the airport display indicative of the current braking action of a first runway approached for usage by the aircraft. The controller may determine the current braking action of the runway from braking action information received over a datalink. Further, in certain embodiments, the controller can assign the current braking action of the runway to a predetermined braking action category and produce the braking action graphic to visually identify the assigned braking action category.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2015Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Ratan Khatwa, Sivakumar Kanagarajan, Visvanathan Thanigai Nathan
