Abstract:
1. A method of achieving a risk-based optimized air traffic control system state, comprising: a plurality of sensors in communication with at least one central monitoring station including a host computer with a database acquiring and assimilating data relative to the air traffic control system-state, said data including interactive, real-time information from air traffic control objects, data from environmental sensors and measurement devices, and data regarding regulation standards; at least one processer executing a program to associate a SWAB confine around each air traffic control object, said SWAB confine based on known or determined risk associated with the operation of an air traffic control object relative any other air traffic control object; optimizing the air traffic control system state by associating, in time and over time, SWAB confine associations and how each SWAB confine association may or may not present risk to any other air traffic control object; creating directed solutions for operating the air traffic control object, wherein the solutions may include risk-based achievements for the air traffic control object to make or separation distances or times to maintain; wherein said solutions are based on acceptable determinations after applied risk model criterion analysis; said solutions predicated upon a matrix relationship formula and application criteria calculation; and assigning solutions by interrogation and response to a flight management computer or other displays congruent to the air traffic control objects within the system for enactment, wherein the solution meets safety and efficiency thresholds that may include sovereign requirements.
