IvAc 2 sector system

The sector system in IvAc 2 will implement the following major changes:

  • 3D definition of each sector, for traffic detection and WebEye display.
  • The ability to combine and split sectors without reconnecting or changing frequency
  • The ability to activate and deactivate sectors individually

Sector definition

A sector is an indivisible block of airspace which may be activated. Each sector is composed of the following:

  • Sector ID
  • Sector Name
  • Radio Callsign
  • Frequency
  • Type (DEL, GND, TWR, APP, ACC, FSS)
<sector id="Y" name="Yellow sector" callsign="Somewhere Radar" freq="125.550" type="acc">

The sector is defined by one of more volumes of airspace. Each volume is a polygon with a upper and lower level. A sector must have at least one polygon.

Volumes of separate sectors may overlap and the smallest volume will be considered. Reference to the diagram above, in Y sector there is no need to cut out the APP airspace.
