In this paper, we introduce an innovative conflict detection and resolution display for air traffic control. Our display explicitly incorporates uncertainties in velocity, heading, and position of each airplane in a given air space. Probabilistic, temporal, and spatial information of potential conflicts is provided through integrated graphical patterns.
