  • Publication number: 20200089554
    Abstract: Methods for interactively preventing and detecting conflicts and errors (CEs) through prognostics and diagnostics. Centralized and Decentralized Conflict and Error Prevention and Detection (CEPD) Logic is developed for prognostics and diagnostics over three types of real-world constraint networks: random networks (RN), scale-free networks (SFN), and Bose-Einstein condensation networks (BECN). A method is provided for selecting an appropriate CEPD algorithm from a plurality of algorithms having either centralized or decentralized CEPD logic, based on analysis of the characteristics of the CEPD algorithms and the characteristics of the constraint network.

  • Patent number: 8831864
    Abstract: Systems and methods for preventing and detecting conflicts and errors through prognostics and diagnostics are applied to vehicle traffic in air traffic and ground control scenarios. Conflict and error prevention and detection (CEPD) logic is applied to a constraint network generated to model the constraints pertinent to the vehicles (such as aircraft and ground-based vehicles) and resources (such as runways and taxiways) in the traffic control spaces. Time-based trajectory data for all vehicles in the traffic control space are continuously and interactively evaluated to detect conflicts that have occurred and/or identify potential conflicts before they occur among vehicles or between vehicles and resources. The systems and methods also generate a conflict resolution using the CEPD logic, which resolution is communicated to the affected vehicles.
