Development of the Runway Incursion Advisory and Alerting System (RIAAS): Research Summary

This report summarizes research conducted on an aircraft based Runway Incursion Advisory and Alerting System (RIAAS) developed under a cooperative agreement between Rannoch Corporation and the NASA Langley Research Center. A summary of RIAAS is presented along with results from simulation and flight testing, safety benefits, and key technical issues

NASA Runway Incursion Prevention System (RIPS) Dallas-Fort Worth Demonstration Performance Analysis

NASA's Aviation Safety Program Synthetic Vision System project conducted a Runway Incursion Prevention System (RIPS) flight test at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport in October 2000. The RIPS research system includes advanced displays, airport surveillance system, data links, positioning system, and alerting algorithms to provide pilots with enhanced situational awareness, supplemental guidance cues, a real-time display of traffic information, and warnings of runway incursions. This report describes the aircraft and ground based runway incursion alerting systems and traffic positioning systems (Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) and Traffic Information Service - Broadcast (TIS-B)). A performance analysis of these systems is also presented

NASA/CR-2002-211677 NASA Runway Incursion Prevention System (RIPS) Dallas-Fort Worth Demonstration Performance Analysis

This report describes the test results of the runway incursion alerting systems recorded during the NASA Runway Incursion Prevention System (RIPS) testing at Dallas - Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) in October 2000. Both aircraft-based and ground-based runway incursion alerting were implemented and tested. The Runway Safety Monitor (RSM) and Runway Incursion Advisory and Alerting System (RIAAS) are aircraft-based runway incursion alerting systems. RSM was developed in-house by NASA. RIAAS was developed by Rannoch Corporation. The John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (VTNSC) implemented the Ground-Based System (GBS). Prototype versions of RIAAS and RSM were installed on NASA's B757 aircraft (also called the Airborne Research Integrated Experiments System or ARIES

The behaviour markup language: recent developments and challenges. Proc Intelligence Virtual Agent Workshop

Abstract. Since the beginning of the SAIBA effort to unify key interfaces in the multi-modal behavior generation process, the Behavior Markup Language (BML) has both gained ground as an important component in many projects worldwide, and continues to undergo further refinement. This paper reports on the progress made in the last year in further developing BML. It discusses some of the key challenges identified that the effort is facing, and reviews a number of projects that already are making use of BML or support its use.
