Abstract: To overcome the problems of complex calculation structure, unclear semantics and low dynamic calculation efficiency of the algorithms in Euclidean space, a description method of the runway incursion and conflict detection is proposed based on Conformal Geometric Algebra (CGA). First, the boundary planes of the Runway Protection Zone(RPZ) are expressed as formation of CGA. Based on the CGA outer product operation, the runway intrusion is detected by judging the position relationship between the aircraft and each boundary of the RPZ. Then, the aircraft protection zone is described by CGA. Based on the CGA inner product operation, the conflict is detected by judging whether the aircraft protection zones intersect or not. Finally, based on the ADS-B data, the runway intrusion and conflict scenes are constructed, and the Kalman filter algorithm is used to predict the track. Effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by experiments. The results show that compared with that of the Euclidean space method, the operation speed of our algorithm is 1.5 times and 2.2 times faster, demonstrating the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.
