A Lateral Director Autopilot Design for Conflict Resolution Algorithms

Conflict resolution, namely avoidance of aircraft crushes, is one of the main problems to be solved in a free flight based air traffic system. The researches on conflict resolution are mainly performed in simulative environments. In the work presented here, a simple lateral director autopilot is designed for conflict resolution studies. Using such a simple autopilot, real aircraft dynamics can be incorporated to conflict resolution techniques and the simulation results can be made closer to real situations.
