An airport surface target detection, classification and tracking system using a network of multilateration (SSR) sensors and W-band radar sensors is used to provide automatic location and tracking information about ground moving aircraft or targets. The information from the distributed sensors are coordinated to provide accurate location and tracking information for coordination of surface traffic and navigation within an airport.

Airfield surface target detection and tracking using distributed multilateration sensors and W-band radar sensors

An algorithm for use in a forward looking collision warning system employed in a vehicle. The collision warning system includes a radar device that generates track files of the range and speed of objects in the vehicle's path. The system also includes a collision warning processor running the algorithm that receives the track files and various input data to determine whether an alert of a potential collision should be issued, and if so, to what degree. The input data includes the speed and acceleration of the vehicle, whether the vehicle's brakes are being applied, collision warning sensitivity, driver distraction modifiers, road condition data, such as wiper speed and outside air temperature, etc. is provided. The processor calculates an alert level based on the various inputs, and outputs the alert level to a driver vehicle interface to notify the driver of the potential collision.
