Four-Dimensional Aircraft Taxiway Conformance Monitoring with Constrained Stochastic Linear Hybrid Systems

Abstract

different nonconforming scenarios from the Cleveland–Hopkins airport. The results from the proposed algorithm are compared with results from four algorithms: an algorithm that models only the conforming aircraft as a constrained stochastic linear hybrid system, two corresponding unconstrained detection algorithms, and a positionbased conformance-monitoring algorithm representing the current state of the art. The comparison demonstrates that the proposed algorithm significantly improves the mean detection time, reducing the detection time by up to 7 s compared with the baseline with small (less than 10%) false alarm rates.
