Evaluation of the New Airspace with Automatic Dependent Surveillance and GPS

H. James Rome

Abstract:	This paper develops and evaluates measures of performance of an ADS/GPS ATC system. Evaluation is based on a unified collision risk model which can incorporate common blunders and forms of intervention effectively for both parallel and intersecting tracks. Example results (based on statistics generated from the oceanic experience) demonstrate that, for the current level of safety, Organized Track System track separations should be easily reducible to 15 nm from the current 60 run. For random tracks, intersection capacities could potentially be increased by a factor of six over those currently allowed.
