Abstract
In a path determining section, an optimum path is calculated based on detection/storage information of a position detector, airport surface information storage section, aircraft information storage section and knowledge information storage section according to an instruction request from a request information input section of an aircraft and is indicated by a path indicator of the aircraft. Further, a collision determining section calculates the possibility of collision on the optimum path obtained in the path determining section according to the coordinates and traveling directions of all of the aircraft based on the above detection/storage information and a warning is indicated by a warning indicator of the aircraft. Further, a control operation determining section monitors the maneuvering control operation on the aircraft side, determines whether or not the maneuvering control operation is erroneous by referring to the optimum path and the possibility of collision, and if it is determined that the maneuvering control operation is erroneous, the control operation is left to the automatic control section and the aircraft is decelerated or stopped. As a result, it becomes possible …
