Title: Apparatus, method and system relating to aircraft systems
Inventor: DAVID CLEAVER
IPC: G08G5/00
Filed: 2016-11-17
Abstract: An intensity map relating to a three-dimensional space, comprising an array of voxels each having an associated traffic intensity value based on historical flight data through the volume it represents, is analysed. The probability of an encounter for a preferred flight path is determined based on traffic intensity values of one or more voxels along that flight path, and that flight path is selected if the probability of encounter is small enough. Otherwise, the shortest flight path with small enough probability of encounter, or the path with lowest overall (or zero) probability of encounter, may be proposed as an alternative. A probability of encounter may depend on whether any voxel has an average traffic intensity value above some threshold value. A voxel containing terrain and/or restricted airspace may be represented by setting the traffic intensity towards its maximum value. The aircraft may be an unmanned aircraft system (UAS).
