EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS FOR AVIATION-SAFETY MEASURES IN THE ABSENCE OF ACTUAL DATA

In this paper, the authors describes a study which a method was developed for generating probabilistic estimates of benefits for a technology that has yet to be deployed. The goal was to estimate the collision-avoidance potential of adding new functionality to ground radar systems used by air traffic controllers. A panel of specialists was asked to review a series of near and actual runway collisions and then estimate the probability that the added functionality would have offered added benefit. The authors present the effectiveness estimates for added functionality and approximate margins of error the estimates. They also discuss the limitations of the approach used, as well as alternative methods of making effectiveness estimates.
