The following video is a screen recording from the OCAP simulation software. It visualizes how the OCAP code extrapolates the flight path of an aircraft. Once every second, the path for the next 40 seconds is calculated (thin blue lines). If the aircraft maintains speed and direction, the actual path (thick red line) matches the prediction. If it changes the speed and / or the direction, the path deviates.
The next video shows the simulation of the flight paths of two hang gliders recorded in the Niederhorn area on 10.08.2024 to validate the ADS-L and OCAP test implementation:
Predicted collisions appear in the object viewer at the top right of the screen. For example, 1667 seconds into the simulation, the algorithm detects a potential collision 16 seconds into the future. The two aircraft are 448.8m apart at this time but their predicted course brings them closer together:
The next video is from a test flight in the Niederhorn area on 28.08.2024. During this test flight, we've had working collision warnings on the device and will check the accuracy of the generated warnings from the device logs in the coming days.
