Bird strikes cause economic loss, damage and in the worst case destruction of aircraft and human life [54]. The risk for a collision between birds and aircraft is largest below 3000 ft. Therefore, civil aircraft are mostly endangered in the low-level flight phases, which take place in the extended airport environment. For this reason, mitigation measures in civil aviation mainly focus on keeping birds off the airport grounds. Despite these efforts taken at the airports, a large number of bird strikes still occur. Hence, this PhD project evaluates an additional approach for the reduction of bird strikes: To avoid bird traffic by delaying or rerouteing aircraft. For this purpose, it is suggested to provide Air Traffic Control (ATC) with a bird strike advisory for which an algorithm for the detection of potential collisions will be developed within this work. The use of such a system by ATC is expected to reduce the number of bird strikes. On the other hand, it is anticipated that the delaying and rerouteing of aircraft leads to a reduced runway capacity. This PhD project will assess the effects of such a system on the airport safety as well as the runway capacity.
