Abstract
A device and methods for generating and presenting aerial traffic information of at least one aerial vehicle (AV) are disclosed. The method for generating and presenting aerial traffic information may include a display system and an image generator (IG). The IG may be configured to generate image data based upon navigation data received from a plurality of AVs and message data received from the TIS provider, and provide this image data to the display system for the presentation of the aerial traffic information to one or more operators of the AV. The device and method for generating aerial traffic information may include a message generator (MG) configured to acquire navigation data from the plurality of AVs not configured with Automatic Dependent Surveillance—Broadcast (ADS-B) components and report their aerial positions in compliance with ADS-B formatted messages, allowing them to participate in an ADS-B system without ADS-B system components.
