Vehicular Intercept Geometry.

Abstract

This report presents the potential use of 3-D data at NUWES on trial runs to provide information on the geometry of two vehicles in the vicinity of intercept. Smoothing of data segments provides velocity components as well as smoothed estimates of vehicle locations. Analysis of this smoothed data can be analyzed to establish (1) distance between vehicles, (2) vehicular heading, directional angles, (3) look angle for attack vehicle, (4) attack angle, (5) projected intercept point and time, (6) projected miss distance, and (7) actual miss distance.
