On-board active safety system for general aviation (ONBASS)
See the ONBASS Website at: www.onbass.org
This project commences with the implementation of the theory of active system safety (TASS) for transport. The first part of TASS is directed to the formation of a safety framework for general aviation aircraft and is funded by research under EU Framework 6. This funded project (ONBASS) is about the theory, design, development and prototyping of a new on-board active safety system for general aviation. The programme involves six European industrial and research teams who are among the world leaders in research, development and maintenance of system software and fault-tolerant hardware for avionics. The aim of the programme is to create a foundation for a new fault-tolerant on-board active safety system able to predict and prevent accidents. This on-board part is the first and essential element of a fully automatic active safety system infrastructure for European general aviation.
Under Dr Schagaev, the Faculty of Computing is contributing to the project in the theoretical aspects of active system safety and the design and development of fault-tolerant on-board active safety systems including hardware and system software. The important part of the project concerns the design of real-time flight data processing algorithms, leading to prevention of accidents and incidents at all phases of flight, especially take-off and landing.
