Keywords: air transportation, collision avoidance
A system safety framework was developed to evaluate the safety of separation assurance algorithms. This framework models the separation function in air traffic control as a set of safe and unsafe states, where the agents in the system apply control to keep the system in safe states. Qualitative and quantitative results are provided.
