Análise de sistemas de anti-colisão aéreaeEntre aeronaves

Abstract

The present study aims to show the importance of mandatory installation and equipping of the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System TCAS, also known as ACAS (air collision warning system), whose objective is to provide alerts to pilots in potential traffic conflicts, on aircraft. Carrying out a detailed study of the system, showing how the equipment works, ve rifying how the level of safety is guaranteed in mitigating the risk of accidents. This equip ment, wheninstalled on the aircraft and in mid-flight, carries out a scanning process. emit ting frequencies within a radius, when these frequencies are detected by a corresponding system on the other aircraft which presents the potential danger of collision, electromag netic waves are emitted at another corresponding frequency where these frequencies are used to calculate the separation of the distance between these aircraft and visual and au ral warnings of traffic and resolution are available depending on the distance separating the aircraft. Being a traffic warning when the aircraft detects another aircraft flying over the same space within the surveillance area and a resolution warning, action (maneuver) to be taken immediately so that there is no collision between the aircraft, this action is done automati cally by the equipment and only the crew must execute the turns given by the equipment. Controllers and pilots must be fully aware of how TCAS works and requires reactions occupying airspace. Both must have a full understanding of the functions of TCAS, the information the system provides to pilots and how the system works in specific conflict scenarios. As well as, talk about its functionality where the way block diagrams work is described.
