Definitions

  • the invention relates to a taxiway safety system for airports, with a taxiway centerline lighting system and a taxi stop lighting system formed by a stop bar that can be switched on and off transversely to the taxiway direction, in particular before the taxiway ends at a runway , as well as with vehicle detectors arranged adjacent to the stop bar.
  • Taxi stops at airports for example in front of the intersection of taxiways in a runway and in front of crossing taxiways, are usually marked by groups of lights. Such lights for roll stops can easily be overlooked, especially in very bad weather conditions. With such bad weather conditions, there are in many cases difficulties in visually monitoring the traffic routes at airports, so that an overlook of a taxi stop lights can lead to serious accidents, since such a roll over of the taxi stop lights cannot be detected.
  • a taxiway security system of the type mentioned is known (DE-AS 2025126), with the aid of which it is possible to direct the landing traffic leaving a runway to the parking space and from the parking space to the queue in front of a taxi stop.
  • the traffic is steered with the aid of a computer system, into which the start and destination positions are entered and which automatically determines the aircraft's path from a starting position to an end position and controls the corresponding display devices and stop bars, which are arranged at nodes on the runways.
  • Vehicle detectors arranged behind the stop bars deliver information about the respective position of an aircraft to the computer system. After the aircraft have been introduced into the departure queue with the aid of this system, the first aircraft is given taxi clearance from the control tower to the take-off position on the runway.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a taxiway safety system of the type mentioned, which allows an improvement in security against unwanted rollover of the roll stop and allows perfect control of traffic between the roll stop and the starting position on the runway.
  • the design of the taxiway safety system according to the invention makes it possible to basically block the taxiway at the taxi stop, whereby after the aircraft has been released from the taxi stop to the starting position on the runway, the stop bar is briefly switched off and a subsequent segment of the taxiway center line lighting is turned on, which leads the aircraft to the start position. As soon as the released aircraft has crossed the stop bar, it is switched on again, so that subsequent aircraft are given a clear stop signal.
  • This stop bar can only be switched off again when the first aircraft has left the take-off position on the runway, so that there is security against incorrect operation.
  • the position of an aircraft located in front of the stop bar can still be detected and when the stop bar is rolled over, an alarm can be triggered by the vehicle detector arranged behind the stop bar.
  • the safety of the movement of the aircraft from the queue in front of the taxi stop to the starting position is significantly improved and the automatic sequence control largely relieves the crew of the control tower, with incorrect operations being ruled out.
  • the separately activatable segment of the center line lighting gives the aircraft operator an optical display which is important, particularly in poor visibility, for the way to the takeoff position.
  • the aircraft operator is still given clear instructions and this combination can also be used in the course of the taxiways, to give the aircraft operator a clear indication of the required course of his taxiing movement and possible stopping point.
  • the invention is based on a illustrated in the drawing embodiment explained in more detail.
  • the drawing shows a simplified picture of a taxiway 6 opening into a runway 7 with an embodiment of the taxiway security system.
  • the embodiment of the taxiway safety system shown in the drawing serves to secure the confluence of a taxiway 6 and a runway 7, a stop bar 4 being arranged in front of the confluence of the taxiway 6 and the runway 7 and consisting of a number of red underground lights arranged transversely to the taxiway direction.
  • Vehicle detectors 1 and 2 are arranged in front of and behind the stop bar 4, each consisting of groups of individual detectors 1a to 1d or 2a to 2d. Behind the stop bar 4 there is also a segment 5 of the taxiway center line lighting which can be switched on and off separately, this segment being able to be formed by green underfloor lights which lead to the starting point 8.
  • a further vehicle detector 3 consisting of individual detectors 3a to 3c is preferably arranged behind the starting point 8. Due to their arrangement shown in the drawing, the vehicle detectors 1 to 3 enable the distinction between aircraft and motor vehicles that are moving on the taxiway and the runway for maintenance and control purposes.
  • a sequential circuit is preferably provided, which causes the stop bar 4 and the segment 5 to be switched on and off automatically in succession.
  • the operation of the taxiway security system is as follows: An aircraft that has received taxi clearance moves on the assigned taxiway to a position in front of the stop bar 4, the presence of the aircraft being detected by the vehicle detector 1. At this taxi stop, the aircraft is waiting for take-off approval, which is issued by the air traffic controller. When the take-off permission is given, the air traffic controller switches off the stop bar 4, preferably the sequence control automatically switching on the segment 5 of the taxiway center line lighting. If the aircraft has passed the vehicle detector 2 arranged behind the stop bar 4, the sequential circuit immediately switches the stop bar on again, while the segment 5 remains switched on. This segment is only switched off when the aircraft has left the starting point 8 and has passed the vehicle detector 3 behind the starting point 8.
  • the stop bar can be switched off again in order to give a taxi to a following aircraft.
  • the individual operating states and messages of the vehicle detectors are preferably shown on a control display for the air traffic controller, so that a rollover of the stop bar 4 leads directly to an alarm being triggered without prior approval.
  • the vehicle detectors can preferably be formed by induction loops, although other types of detectors which enable vehicle classification can of course also be used.
