Abstract

A method for evaluating the licitness of the situation of a craft on the surface of an airport including the steps of: modelling of a first licitness cost surface covering a surface of the airport where the craft is deploying, termed the deployment surface, related to this deployment surface and defined by quantities assigned to its points, which quantities are representative of their memberships in flow constraint zones and of the severity in relation to the craft, of the flow constraints, modelling of a second licitness cost surface covering the deployment surface, related to the craft and defined by quantities assigned to its points, which quantities are representative of their memberships in a girth zone covering a neighborhood of the current position of the craft, and calculation of a score evaluating the significance of the risk of violation of a flow constraint incurred by the craft on the basis of a cross-correlation function of the two licitness cost surfaces referred to one and the same benchmark.
