The Impact of a Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System on the Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System and Mode S System in the Los Angeles Basin.
Abstract
An analysis was performed to predict the impact of the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) on the performance of selected air traffic control and surveillance systems in the Los Angeles Basin. The predictions involved the impact of minimum TCAS II(TCAS II M) on both the Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS) interrogator at Long Beach, and a Hypothetical Mode S sendor at Los Angeles (LAX-4), as well as the impact of the combined TCAS I and TCAS II M signal environment on the Long Beach ATCRBS interrogator. These predictions were made using a hypothetical peak Los Angeles Basin airborne deployment and subsets of that deployment. Keywords include: ATCRBS, TCAS, TCAS I, TCAS II M, and MODE S.
