A separate team in a classroom setting acted as consultants for a local international Airport, providing a prompt regarding the determination of potential mid-air collisions between two aircrafts currently flying over Washington State. Both aircraft follow a primarily linear route, and the objective is to ascertain whether or not their paths will intersect. Each potential scenario must be considered as a potential collision.
The primary methodology employed involved the construction of a system of equations that were solved simultaneously, generating real-time telemetry data for each aircraft. This data was then utilized to assess the linear trajectory of each aircraft and determine whether or not their paths posed a potential safety risk.
