WASHINGTON - s4story -- With what many are calling "chaos" at some airports, and thousands of reported "skin-to-skin" near misses at major airports, long-term plains just are not enough to protect passengers from another deadly collision.

What is desperately needed immediately is air-safety first aid, says Professor John Banzhaf of George Washington University.

With modernization of our obsolete air traffic control many years away, what is so desperately need is something which can be done much more quickly to at least temporarily reduce the growing risk of deadly airplane accidents, says Banzhaf.

Fortunately there is something which can be up and running in a week, tested and improved in a month, and be operational at all major airports within a year argues Banzhaf, an MIT-educated engineer with two U.S. patents and considerable experience with computers and vehicle safety.

An off-the-shelf already available desktop computer using a modern AI program could provide a significant increase in air traffic safety - like having a lightning-fast genius looking over controllers' shoulders to help - claims Banzhaf.

It would be like having an ever-vigilant and indefatigable genius, who can project scenarios and provide warnings of potential collisions in milliseconds, looking over the shoulders of very busy controllers in airport towers.

More importantly, it could be operating within a week, updated and tested within a month, and operating at all major airports within a year, says the professor.

After all, the inventor-professor notes, computers running already available AI programs can already do many things no air traffic controller can possibly do, including:
■ monitoring the dozens of different relevant flying frequencies, including commercial, helicopter, small craft civilian, military, Homeland Security, and other nearby airports, etc.
■ in the case at Reagan Airport for example, simultaneously monitor all radar at DCA as well as nearby from Bolling AFB, plus any from the Pentagon, White House, etc.
■ calculate various flight paths and foresee possible crashes in less than a second
■ never become tired, flustered, distracted, or panicked
and then alert an air traffic controller - but not pilots directly - if there seems to be a problem such as a potential collision.

Professor Banzhaf's detailed analysis of how such a supplemental warning system could work, and how it can be tested quickly and safely, has been featured in many forms on the Internet, including, for example:
