ABSTRACT
Midair collisions of aircraft are rare, but an actual threat. For this issue, aircraft separation and systems for its support are one of the most important fields in aviation research. There are several displays to assist the pilot navigation through airspace. The purpose of this chapter is to give a short overview of the existing displays that are used in air traffic, safety standards and to present the newly developed VOD-CA (velocity-obstacle-based display for collision avoidance; Manske et al. 2013) by the German Aerospace Center in showing the advantages of comparison. VOD-CA represents a display based on planes’ velocities
