Patent ID: 7151995

Claim:
A method of predicting air-traffic events comprising the steps of: communicating between sending means distributed on the sites of air-traffic actors with data-processing means through a communications network predicting an event as a function of information distributed to the different sites and sent out by the sending means, wherein with a same piece of informatiom (Inf.A) on an event being sent by different sending means in the form of data (Inf.A 1 , . . . Inf.Ak, . . . Inf.AN), to the information-processing means, these means assign a quality indicator to the received data (Inf.A 1 , . . . Inf.Ak, . . . Inf.AN), the prediction of the event being a function of the quality indicator, wherein the quality indicator comprises an index I 2 as a function of the set of data (Inf.A 1 , . . . Inf.Ak, . . . Inf.AN), of different origins, which define a same piece of information, wherein each of the air-traffic actors takes the quality indicator into consideration when using the data (Inf.A 1 . . . Inf.Ak . . . Inf.AN).
