Efficient Simulation for Testing Loss of Separation Algorithms

Abstract

Given increased air traffic and the possible use of autonomous vehicles, there is interest in the verification of separation algorithms. Because of the complexity of the environment and the presence of perturbations, a candidate approach is simulation and Monte Carlo. There are several desirable properties of the simulation: realism, portability, transparency, and efficiency. This paper is an initial effort using MATLAB to study a separation algorithm. An original separation algorithm was developed to make this project independent of any other effort. The algorithms and program were effective enough and efficient enough that the project will proceed.
