An Embedded Decision Support System for Runway Safety and Excursion Avoidance

Runway Safety Assistant Foreseeing Excursions (RUN.S.A.F.E.) is a complete embedded system solution that predicts a potential runway overrun during the takeoff and landing of a civil aviation aircraft. The system executes both static and dynamic calculations, the former being completely dependent, while the latter completely independent to the user's inputs. The solution is adapted to a Boeing 737-800 aircraft, with CFM56-7B engines. However, the calculations also apply for similar aicrafts, equipped with a tricycle landing gear and turbofan engines. The system is aligned with current regulations and certification specifications, where applicable.
