Definitions
- the invention relates to a device arrangement and a method for improving the detection quality of ground-based presentation and traffic management or traffic management systems, in particular at an airport.
- A-SMGCS Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems
- SMAN Surface Management Systems
- CWP controller working position
- floor footprinting and traffic management or traffic management systems refers to any of the above and, in the broadest sense, any tool supporting pilots or apron pilots, with or without input capabilities, based on detection of moving and static objects on the airport surface mostly on radar technology or on the combination of radar technology and a multilateration system, whose individual sensor information is often combined in a sensor data fusion system into an integrated situation image
- detection quality positional accuracy of objects, detection probability, directional accuracy, etc.
- WO 2014/135500 A1 For new functionalities, such as the traffic planning, route generation and traffic management described in WO 2014/135500 A1, improved detection quality is required at certain points. This applies regardless of whether automatically optimal individual routes with or without the inclusion of surrounding traffic and temporary or permanent restrictions be calculated. Furthermore, this is irrelevant, which type of leadership is used. Examples include, as set forth in WO 2014/135500 A1, radiotelephone, terminal equipment in the field, such as sequentially and individually connected taxiway centerlines, or other external guidance systems, such as dynamic signage, or automated voice instructions on aircraft radio frequencies or other receiver systems of the aircraft or vehicle , or even in aircraft and vehicles integrated or mobile display systems with the display levels shown.
- the object of the invention is, with regard to the abovementioned requirements, to improve the detection quality of a ground-based presentation and traffic management or traffic management system, in particular at an airport.
- the device arrangement according to the invention is used to improve the detection quality of floor situation display and traffic management systems, in particular at an airport, and comprises at least the following interacting components: a firing device with at least one controllable light source, and a geomagnetic field sensor for determining the position, direction of movement, orientation and / or speed of an object.
- the invention is based on the recognition that terrestrial magnetic field sensors represent a suitable technology in order to improve the local detection quality.
- Earth magnetic field sensors as described in DE 10 2012 014303 A1, have hitherto not been used in ground level presentation and traffic management or traffic management systems or in comparable systems. The proposed integration of this technology makes the implementation less complicated than a detached concept.
- the invention also provides a method for improving the detection quality of floor attitude display and traffic management systems using at least one device arrangement of the type described above. Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description and from the accompanying drawings, to which reference is made.
- the single figure shows a diagram of a preferred embodiment of the device arrangement according to the invention.
- a device arrangement (referred to in the figure as "sensor guidance lights") and a method for improving the detection quality of ground-based presentation and traffic management systems are presented
- the embodiment described relates to the application of the arrangement or the method to a Airport with upstream sensor data fusion integrated with individual automated multi-channel traffic routing through various auditory and visual channels for airplanes, vehicles and vehicle networks
- multi-channel traffic guidance is to be understood that optionally and depending on the availability of modules in a specific implementation in the field, two or more synchronized guidance means transmit the same information in parallel, such as synthetic voice information in parallel with a corresponding centerline fire trains or guided towed trains, but also formations, such as in winter service.
- the implementation of the device arrangement is modular, and the integration of the modules may nevertheless involve physical integration in the sense of "spatially contained” as well as technical integration in the sense of "directly associated with it”.
- the latter includes, in particular, the attachment of modules or submodules such as antennas and sensors outside the firing (hereinafter also referred to as fire), e.g. in existing or milled crevices in the flight operations area or as attachments to above-ground installations.
- geomagnetic field sensors are used in the device arrangement described herein.
- Earth magnetic field sensors can determine the position, the direction of movement, object orientation and the speed of an object. These data can be combined into one vector and output in a proprietary format or, in the context of the preferred application here, in the aviation standard ASTERIX format (EUROCONTROL Surveillance Information Exchange), for example in the dialects CAT.10 or CAT.65 become.
- the data may then be processed either locally (in the device array with the respective sensor), in a composite of cooperating devices (integrated fires), eg at an intersection, centrally by a sensor data fusion, or by modules of a ground level presentation and traffic management system ,
- Combined devices with integrated geomagnetic field sensors can also be used to achieve a simplified identification of the object.
- vehicles are distinguished from aircraft.
- size classes can be identified, such as passenger cars or buses, and aircraft types are recognized.
- earth magnetic field sensors are modularly integrated with components for individual automated traffic guidance and in devices already implemented at large airports at commercial airports, in particular in so-called taxiway center line fire (standard case) or in taxiway limit fire, stop bar fire or stop position fire, or also in systems for Park guidance and information systems such as display systems, traffic lights and other guidance elements as well as dynamic or static signage.
- taxiway center line fire standard case
- taxiway limit fire stop bar fire or stop position fire
- Park guidance and information systems such as display systems, traffic lights and other guidance elements as well as dynamic or static signage.
- the integration creates new utilization and automation options in the area of taxi traffic management. In addition, processes that require increased precision, such as the crossing of active runways, can be processed even more safely. In addition, the integration provides access to the power grid and in the specific case of a center-line fire also the necessary protection against pressure loads (rollover) and against other influences such as moisture.
- the use of the modular device devices is in no It also limits and potentially covers, among other things, the automated capture of timestamps such as in-blocks and off-blocks (recording of movement at the position or elsewhere and detection of standstill), as well as the detection of the orientation of an aircraft, for example after pushback. from.
- the fire is useful as a guide and has one, two, four, six, or more bulbs (For example, three in each direction and one each in red, yellow and green.) In the case of orange and blue taxiing guidelines at an airport, these colors may be alternatively or additionally preserved in the fires.
- a lighting control system (or components / peripherals thereof), which in turn is provided by a floor storage facility or by a separate communication cable such as a Local Area Network cable, or via relevant wireless communication standards such as GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, LTE, LTE Advanced, ⁇ 802.1 a / h, ⁇ 802.11 b / g, ⁇ 802.11 ⁇ , IEE802.1 ac, WiMAX and AeroMACS and their successors and others, and returns its status over the same channel.
- the device arrangement further comprises a module of the type described in WO 2014/135500 A1 for the automated transmission of synthetic tables, semi-synthetic or natural individual and optionally also to relevant standards, such as ICAO Doc 4444 ATMI / 501, available at; http://www.navcanada.ca/EN/media/Publications/ICAO-Doc-4444-EN.pdf, compliant voice messages to receivers in cockpits of commercial aircraft and vehicles, which are provided by a central system for positioning and traffic guidance or traffic management system can be supplied with instructions and / or can determine instructions locally or in conjunction with other identical or similar devices. This can optionally be used for each event individual radio frequency or any other frequency, as well as the arker beacon receiver frequency of aircraft operated.
- the device arrangement can also be configured such that it transmits the same information to each road user, eg "Attention, Active Runway 300 Meters Ahead!"
- the trigger here can be the sensor system in the device arrangement, the coordination with further device arrangements in a network, as well Should the device arrangement be linked via data link to central systems, such as an airport operational database (AODB) or the central ground-based presentation and traffic management or traffic management system, or should a modular A- DSB receiver may be installed for identification purposes (see below), so the radio message may also include the identification of the rolling motion, such as "Lufthansa 123, Attention, Active Runway 300 Meters Ahead I". Overall, this also makes it possible to use the device arrangement as a protective mechanism against unauthorized intrusion into certain zones, such as the unauthorized driving on a runway.
- AODB airport operational database
- the radio message may also include the identification of the rolling motion, such as "Lufthansa 123, Attention, Active Runway 300 Meters Ahead I”.
- the integrated device arrangement can ensure that the status of the transmitter can be displayed on the pilot workstations. This prevents a frequency being double in this form of usage is occupied. In addition, it is ensured by suitable means that the integrated device arrangement carries out a radio transmission on a radio frequency only if it is not currently occupied.
- the integrated device arrangement can, for example, trigger a countdown, for example, over three seconds, on the Human Machine Interface (HMI) of the pilot workstation, which visually announces the planned occupancy of the frequency in a local transmission area.
- HMI Human Machine Interface
- a receiver for ADS Automatic Dependent Surveillance
- ADS-B that is modularly integrable into the device arrangement receives and processes identification information (including flight number, aircraft type, time signal, etc.) from aircraft and vehicles, which are normally transmitted undirected to 1,090 MHz , This is optionally done for local processing in an integrated device array, for integration into the decision and guidance process of an interconnect, for onward transmission to the central floor attitude presentation and traffic management or traffic management system or sensor data fusion, or for a combination thereof.
- ADS be replaced by technologies such as Mode S Extended Squitter or VDL Mode 4 with or without TDMA, FLARM, or ECDIS as in shipping or other standards, then the ADS receiver in the device arrangement is replaced by a corresponding deviating module.
- the simultaneous use of a non-cooperative sensor (terrestrial magnetic field sensor) and a cooperative sensor (ADS-B receiver) is a special feature in that it makes the device arrangement a combined non-cooperative and cooperative sensor system.
- the modular integrated logic unit of the device arrangement is capable of making local decisions, such as sequencing at an intersection (this also includes sequencing between air traffic and road traffic, including the automatic switching of traffic lights or other visual systems for displaying traffic signals). Instructions, as well as dynamic signage), and transmit them via unidirectional or bi-directional wired or wireless data links to the central floor-planer, traffic management or traffic management system, or alternatively directly in the field using the other to transmit integrated modules or external guidance visually or audibly to the users.
- the logic unit can be used for coordination with other device arrangements of the same basic type in order to make local decisions, eg for an intersection, and implement them with the aid of the integrated modules or peripheral systems.
- the integrated device arrangement can communicate with other IT systems of the airside infrastructure on the above 'data connections, including the Airport Operational Database or other systems.
- information may be exchanged in both directions, such as position and vector information, and timestamps acquired from the integrated device array to the IT systems and flight plan data or sequencing requests from the central device to the device array.
- the information on the ground location is provided in accordance with relevant standards in the ASTERIX format, for example in the dialect CAT.10, or in a proprietary format.
- the logic unit is further responsible for synchronizing the different guidance means, eg at a hold request, to turn the fire on or off in the direction in question and to send parallel data link and voice instructions in parallel.
- Another module for integration into the device arrangement is a device for pilot data link communications (CPDLC) for transmitting data link instructions, such as start-up, push-back and the taxi route into the cockpit and in vehicles.
- the relevant instructions are provided by the central Bodenlagedariness- and traffic management or traffic management system with or without the assistance of a human via the data links described and shipped according to the currently defined D-TAXI message set or a proprietary standard on the channels provided for this purpose.
- An indication of the route or of clearances such as start-up or push-back on the display system of the parking guidance system, for example an Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System (A-VDGS), or on other display systems, such as ramp displays, can also be provided ,
- A-VDGS Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System
