Study and Improvement in Operational Characteristics of Mid Air Collision Aversion System (TCAS)
The drawbacks in the current system of TCAS are studied in this paper along with the changing needs because of rising air traffic. Improving the maneuvering capability by making a new algorithm for calculating the path, and also by establishing an exclusive communication link enhanced threat handling. It was found that the horizontal steering in a threat situation has to be implied by studying the air traffic in the vicinity. Steering vertically can create a problem when a/c are present above and below. All paths are calculated by taking the distance and climb or decent rate of the individual a/c around the main a/c, which would be necessary to avoid collision with them. This procedure is followed at the other confronting a/c too. The best path which is taken ensures aversion of collision between them and nullifies the possibility of a threat situation with another a/c because of it. These findings were found to be helpful in situations where density of air traffic is high and with them a better probability of collision avoidance is achieved as compared to the present system. It doesnt involve changing the full equipments such as the transponder and the antennae, but some modifications in the processor based on the new algorithm.
