The project is a air traffic simulation with two implemented techniques that are used in aviation to avoid collisions:
- Short Term Conflict Alert (SCTA) - alert system for detecting potential collisions;
- Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) - avionics system designed for avoiding collisions.
The project simulates intensive air traffic, and presents you a role of a dispatcher. Here, STCA is used to identify potential collisions. When a potential collision is detected, you can manually change height or speed of aircrafts to avoid the collision (see screenshot #3). If you don't do it manually, then aircrafts themselves employ TCAS to avoid the collision.
The detailed description of the algorithms used in the simulation can be found in Algorithm.md.

You can select an airplane by clicking on an airplane (see screenshot #1).
After selecting a plane, you can:
- change its speed and height. Changes are not instantenous and require time to be applied;
- click
POVbutton to open the selected aircraft's POV (see screenshot #2).
When a collision is detected, click one of the airplanes to start manual collision avoidance (see screenshot #3).
You will need Unity to install and work with project.
Download repository and open as a Unity project. The main scene is named Radar.
