Conflict Detection Tools (CDTs) are computer based Controller Tools that identify conflicts and then provide system generated conflict advice to controllers. CDTs can either provide conflict detection continually or provide one-off probes (modelling to assess the potential conflicts on an intended action such as a reroute, level change or speed adjustment). CDTs can also provide conformance monitoring to ensure that aircraft conform to instructions issued to solve a detected conflict.
IFATCA Policy is:Responsibility and legal implications should be fully addressed before implementation of CDTs. During degraded modes, clearly defined operational procedures shall exist. Nuisance and false alerts shall be kept to an absolute minimum. |
