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:To ensure the integrity of the conflict detection tool, as a Controller Tool, is maintained, all system configurations, adaptations, and customisations must be set in such a manner to eliminate, avoid or minimise spurious and nuisance alerts from being presented. In addition, these settings must be reviewed on a regular basis, and amended as required. |
