Building a Software Simulator for Airborne Cyber Physical Systems using X-Plane

Airborne-CPS

A Traffic Collision Avoidance System Mark II (TCAS-II) implementation for Laminar Research X-Plane

Current Functionality

• Threat detection within a protection volume.
• Threat classifications:
  • Traffic Advisory(TA)
  • Resolution Advisory(RA)
• RA action consensus and action suggestion.
• Drawing of recommended action(vertical velocity) to gauge.
• Suport for at least 3 client connections.
• Strength-Based RA Selection Algorithm for 3+ aircraft RA scenarios.

Description

This project is a plugin for the Laminar Research X-Plane flight simulator, and is an implementation of a Traffic Collision Avoidance System, mark II. It is used in Cyber Physical Systems research at the State University of New York at Oswego; please see "Literature" for examples and related work.

• The plugin was written in C++ using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022.
• The SDK for the plugin is included in the codebase, and can also be found here.
