Thirty Years of Modeling Midair Collisions
For 30 years, operations researchers have developed mathematical models of processes leading to possible collisions of aircraft flying in proximity to one another in order to estimate the risk of collision. These “collision risk models” were applied in the 1960s to determine safe separation standard...
