      8 calculateSLoWC(trajectory1, trajectory2)

     10 \arguments{
     11 \item{trajectory1}{A \code{flighttrajectory} object corresponding to the
     12 first aircraft.}
     13 
     14 \item{trajectory2}{A \code{flighttrajectory} object corresponding to the
     15 second aircraft.}
     16 }
     17 \value{
     18 The numeric vector giving the SLoWC metric. Values lie in the range 
     19   [0, 100]. A SLoWC of 0 indicates Well Clear, while a value of 100 
     20   corresponds to "full penetration" (i.e., a collision).

     22 \description{
     23 Calculate the "severity loss of Well Clear" (SLoWC) metric, described in RTCA
     24 SC-228 Closed-Loop Metrics White Paper.
     25 }
     26 \details{
     27 Note that the RTCA definition of Well Clear is undergoing revision. 
     28   This code is based on the SLoWC formulation by Ethan Pratt and Jacob Kay as
     29   implemented in a MATLAB script by Ethan Pratt dated 2016-04-18.
