Modeling and simulation of Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System

TCAS (Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System) is a vital airborne system for flight safety. In this paper, principle of TCAS and the algorithm of alerting are researched. Then, the simulation model are achieved. The simulation system of TCAS is built based on FLSIM. After that the crashworthy algorithm designed is validated via simulation experiment and the program of the crashworthy algorithm in FLSIM is given. It is proved in practice that flight simulation with integrated simulation software—FLSIM method is very flexible. And what we have done is just the basic work of development of TCAS.
