A traffic information display format, situated in a craft, for observing traffic in a volume about the craft, having one or more viewing grids that display traffic on the display in a three-dimensional perspective so that the observer of the display can conceptually and immediately perceive the traffic entities and their statuses, distances, altitudes, ascending rates, descending rates, closing rates, receding rates and other information. The formats are generated by situation and symbol computers and provided to a stroke or flat panel display. The computers follow a system flow design that results in symbol and format generation for a display.

A traffic information display format apparatus, presented in a three-dimensional perspective and situated in an own craft, for observing traffic in a volume about said own craft, comprising: a first grid, representing a forward view from said own craft, comprising: a first set of approximately parallel grid lines spaced so as to represent different values of altitude relative to said own craft; a second set of approximately parallel grid lines, overlapping said said first set of grid lines, wherein each of said first set of grid lines is approximately perpendicular to each of said second set of grid lines, and each of said second set of grid lines is spaced so as to represent a particular value of azimuth relative to a heading of said own craft; a reference symbol on said first grid, situated at one intersection of one of said first set of grid lines and one of said second grid lines, representing a location of said own craft on said first grid; and at least one traffic symbol representing a traffic entity, said symbol located on said first grid at a location so as to indicate altitude and azimuth of the traffic entity relative to said own craft, and having a first dimension approximately parallel to said first set of grid lines, that indicates distance of the traffic entity from said own craft, having a second dimension approximately parallel to said second set of grid lines, and having an orientation that indicates whether the traffic entity is ascending, descending or remaining constant in altitude relative to own craft or has an unknown altitude; and a second grid representing a rearward view from said own craft, comprising: a first set of approximately parallel grid lines spaced so as to represent different values of altitude relative to said own craft; a second set of approximately parallel grid lines, overlapping said said first set of grid lines, wherein each of said first set of grid lines is approximately perpendicular to each of said second set of grid lines, and each of said second set of grid lines is spaced so as to represent a particular value of azimuth relative to a heading of said own craft; a reference symbol on said second grid, situated at one intersection of one of said first set of grid lines and one of said second grid lines, representing a location of said own craft on said second grid; and at least one traffic symbol representing a traffic entity, said symbol located on said second grid at a location so as to indicate altitude and azimuth of the traffic entity relative to said own craft, and having a first dimension approximately parallel to said first set of grid lines, that indicates distance of the traffic entity from said own craft, and having a second dimension approximately parallel to said second set of grid lines, wherein the second dimension in combination with the first dimension forms the symbol having a particular shape and orientation that indicates whether the traffic entity is ascending, descending or remaining constant in altitude relative to own craft or has an unknown altitude; and wherein: said first sets of grid lines, each first set having a middle line horizontal relative to a viewer of said first and second grids and representing an altitude of said own craft, are cylindrically shaped in a fashion that the remaining lines gradually disperse in directions slightly away from the middle horizontal lines of said first and second grids; said reference symbols are situated on the respective middle horizontal lines; the first dimension of each of said traffic symbols is a width of each said symbol, greater width indicating closer distance of the traffic entity to said own craft and narrower width indicating farther distance of the traffic entity from said own craft; the second dimension of each of said traffic symbols being variable in that an extension of the second dimension in one direction indicates an ascending in altitude of the traffic entity and that an extension of the second dimension in another direction indicates a descending of the traffic entity; each of said traffic symbols is variable in shape in that one shape indicates a known altitude of the traffic entity and another shape indicates an unknown altitude of the traffic entity; each of said traffic symbols is variable in color in that a particular color indicates a particular status of the traffic entity.
