| Summary: | Understanding airspace activity is essential for airspace control. Being able to<br />detect vertical activity in aircraft allows prediction of aircraft intent, thereby<br />allowing more accurate situation awareness and correspondingly more appropriate<br />airspace control response. The method for qualitative vertical activity estimation as<br />presented is characterised by a very fast response time and requires minimal sensor<br />input. The method relies on the interplay of two opposing motion prediction models.<br />The efficacy of the method is demonstrated in both simulated and real-world data. |
