Keywords: conflict simulation, runway incursions, rapid prototyping

The paper describes the design of a rapid scenario generation tool that has two components, namely an off-line generic scenario builder and a real-time component that generates the traffic movements interactively with the simulator aircraft in order to generate repeatable situations without restricting pilot activity within the simulator.
