Abstract

The main cause of major accidents in airport traffic is an incursion of a vehicle into a runway of a landing or taking-off aircraft. This article presents a method to increase the runway safety, where it strongly depends on human made decisions, regulated by national and local laws of deontic nature, i.e. rules of obligation, permission etc. We propose to model and verify such a communication control system, and related behavioral deontic rules, as finite state automata in the Symbolic Model Verifier NuSMV, where the deonticity is built in the automata, and the verification thereof uses CTL temporal logic formulas. The method is simple in modeling the system and in specifying and verifying it. It can also easily find a possible path of states leading to a user-defined hazard.
