| Abstract | Algorithms for automatic tracking of wake vortices using ground-wind anemometer data are developed. Methods of bad-data suppression, track initiation, and track termination are included. An effective sensor-failure detection-and identification system is also documented. System performance is verified using actual sensor data provided by DOT/TSC. Computer requirements for implementing the system in the field are summarized, and a plan for developing a general-purpose vortex-tracking simulation is presented. |
