Description

Calculate the time to closest point of approach (TCPA) between two aircraft at each time point of their their trajectories.

Usage

1
calculateTCPA(trajectory1, trajectory2)

Arguments

trajectory1

A flighttrajectory object corresponding to the first aircraft.

trajectory2

A flighttrajectory object corresponding to the second aircraft.

Details

This code is based on the SLoWC formulation by Ethan Pratt and Jacob Kay as implemented in a MATLAB script by Ethan Pratt dated 2016-04-18. This code calculates horizontal CPA only.

Value

The numeric vector giving the TCPA. Values in seconds.
