University of Stellenbosch. Faculty of Engineering. Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Theses -- Electrical and electronic engineering Dissertations -- Electrical and electronic engineering Radar air traffic control systems Electrical and Electronic Engineering Thesis (MScEng (Electrical and Electronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. A radar system observes an aircraft once during each scan of the airspace, and uses these observations to construct a track representing a possible route of the aircraft. However when aircraft interact closely there is the possiblility of confusing the identities of the tracks. In this thesis multiple hypothesis techniques are applied to extract an identity confidence from a track, given a set of possible tracks and observations. The system utilises numerous estimation filters internally and these are investigated and compared in detail. The Identity Confidence algorithm is tested using a developed radar simulation system, and evaluated sucessfully against a series of benchmark tests. 2008-07-14T12:27:44Z 2010-06-01T08:39:26Z 2008-07-14T12:27:44Z 2010-06-01T08:39:26Z 2006-12 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/2044 en University of Stellenbosch application/pdf Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch
