In developing these new technologies, such as Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) and the Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS), it is essential to remember that all sensing technologies are prone to rare but potentially hazardous errors. Accordingly, the development of new navigation and surveillance technologies must be complemented by the development of rigorous integrity algorithms that allow pilots and controllers to determine when a sensor system should or should not be trusted. This paper describes the application of a new state-prediction methodology to developing conservative position-error bounds for aircraft ground movement. These position-error bounds can be compared to operational limits in order to generate an alert if the risk of a large navigation error becomes unacceptably high. To demonstrate the conservatism of our approach, we have conducted a series of experiments in a lab setting using a surrogate (robotic) vehicle. These experiments indicate that our method, which we call biased-Gaussian prediction, generates a conservative position-error bound even when more conventional prediction methods do not.","PeriodicalId":345677,"journal":{"name":"2010 Integrated Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance Conference Proceedings","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134521284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These concepts rely on airborne based surveillance and include the use of airborne systems and procedures to perform traffic monitoring, self-separation, and merging and spacing. The Traffic Information Service-Broadcast (TIS-B) system is intended to provide the crucial bridge for ADS-B aircraft to employ some of these concepts during the transition phase. Although TIS-B surveillance is not expected to be of the same quality as ADS-B surveillance, it still provides aircraft state and velocity information required so that airborne systems can provide airborne separation assistance/assurance and airborne spacing capabilities (with increased separation margins). While simulation studies of these NextGen concepts in the end-state system are already underway [1], additional simulation models will be needed to represent the intermediate state system where not all aircraft will be equipped with ADS-B. The suitability of new ATM concepts for use in the transitional NextGen airspace with mixed equipage (Mode C, Mode S, and Mode S Extended Squitter (ES)) aircraft can be studied using simulation tools such as NASA Langley's Airspace and Traffic Operations Simulation (ATOS) enhanced with the TIS-B model described in this paper. ATOS is a distributed, Human in the Loop (HITL) simulation consisting of multiple, mid-fidelity, desktop cockpit simulators called ASTOR (Aircraft Simulation for Traffic Operations Research). This paper describes the RTCA standards-based design of the TIS-B model developed for use in ATOS. This model consists of ground and aircraft subsystems with a focus on the models of TIS-B system functional elements such as Ground Surveillance Processing (GSP), TIS-B Target Report Distribution Function (DF), Ground Link Specific Processing (GLSP), Airborne Link Specific Processing (ALSP), and Target Tracking and Report Assembly (RA). The modeling of SSR data processing functions in the GSP, including position and altitude measurement, state estimation, radar tracking, and computation of Navigation Accuracy Category (NAC) and Navigation Integrity Category (NIC) of aircraft position is discussed at length. This paper also describes how Target reports are extrapolated (to account for data latency), generated, and distributed by the DF model. A Ground Based Transceiver (GBT) model implements the GLSP functions that include generation of TIS-B messages and suppression of TIS-B messages corresponding to aircraft producing ADS-B signals being received by the GBT. Modeling of the reception of ADS-B transmissions by the GBT is included using the ADS-B reception model developed for ASTOR air-to-air r","PeriodicalId":345677,"journal":{"name":"2010 Integrated Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance Conference Proceedings","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132689015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
