Calculate collision rate with static and dynamic avoidance

Usage

n_collision(
  avoidance_rate_static,
  avoidance_rate_dynamic,
  n_flights,
  p_coll_static,
  p_coll_dynamic
)

Arguments

avoidance_rate_static

numeric; Number between 0 and 1 representing the avoidance rate of static components (tower + static presented area)

avoidance_rate_dynamic

numeric; Number between 0 and 1 representing the avoidance rate of dynamic components (moving blade edge)

n_flights

numeric; Flights though the turbine per unit time. Calculated from turbine_flights_year() or similar.

p_coll_static

numeric; the probability of collision with static turbine components if an interaction occurs and avoidance is zero. Calculated from prob_collision_static()

p_coll_dynamic

numeric; the probability of collision with dynamic blade edge turbine components if an interaction occurs and avoidance is zero. Calculated from prob_collision_dynamic()

Value

numeric; number of collisions per unit time. Time interval is the same as referenced by n_flights input.

Examples

n_collision(
  avoidance_rate_static = 0.99,
  avoidance_rate_dynamic = c(0.90, 0.95),
  n_flights = 100,
  p_coll_static = 0.05,
  p_coll_dynamic = 0.03
