Description
Vorrichtungsanordnung und Verfahren zur Verbesserung der Erfassungsqualität von Bodenlagedarstellungsund Verkehrsführungs- oder Verkehrsmanagementsystemen Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtungsanordnung und ein Verfahren zur Verbesserung der Erfassungsqualität von Bodenlagedarstellungs- und Verkehrsführungs- oder Verkehrsmanagementsystemen, insbesondere an einem Flughafen. Device arrangement and method for improving the detection quality of ground-based presentation and traffic management or traffic management systems 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.
Heutige Bodenlagedarstellungs- und Verkehrsführungs- oder Verkehrs- managementsysteme, auch als A-SMGCS (Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems) im weitesten Sinn oder Surface Management Systeme (SMAN) bezeichnet, können ihrerseits eine integrierte Controller Working Position (CWP) für Lotsen oder Vorfeldlotsen darstellen oder wesentlich prägen. Nachfolgend wird daher unter„Bodenlagedarstellungs- und Verkehrs- führungs- oder Verkehrsmanagementsysteme" alles Vorgenannte und im weitesten Sinne jedes Tool zur Unterstützung von Lotsen oder Vorfeldlotsen mit oder ohne Möglichkeiten zur Tätigung von Eingaben bezeichnet. Solche Systeme basieren in Bezug auf Erfassung beweglicher und statischer Objekte auf der Flughafenoberfläche zumeist auf Radartechnik oder auf der Kombination von Radartechnik und einem Multilaterationssystem, deren individuelle Sensorinformationen häufig in einem Sensordatenfusionssystem zu einem integrierten Lagebild vereint werden. Diese Systemverbünde sind in ihrer Erfassungsqualität (Positionsgenauigkeit von Objekten, Erfassungswahrscheinlichkeit, Richtungsgenauigkeit etc.) limitiert. Dies gilt insbesondere für die Erfassungsgenauigkeit hinter Gebäuden und für Strukturen mit dem Charakter von Höfen. Today's ground level performance and traffic management systems, also referred to as A-SMGCS (Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems) in the broadest sense, or Surface Management Systems (SMAN), can in turn provide an integrated controller working position (CWP) for pilots Present or significantly shape apron controllers. In the following, therefore, "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 These systems are limited in their detection quality (positional accuracy of objects, detection probability, directional accuracy, etc.) This applies in particular to the accuracy of detection behind buildings and to structures with the character of courtyards.
Für neue Funktionalitäten, wie u.a. die in WO 2014/135500 A1 beschriebene Verkehrsplanung, Routengenerierung und Verkehrsführung, ist an bestimmten Stellen eine verbesserte Erfassungsqualität notwendig. Dies gilt unabhängig davon, ob automatisch optimale individuelle Routen mit oder ohne Einbeziehung des umgebenden Verkehrs und temporär oder dauerhaft geltender Restriktionen berechnet werden. Ferner ist hierfür auch unerheblich, welche Art der Führung eingesetzt wird. Beispiele hierfür sind, wie in WO 2014/135500 A1 dargelegt, Sprechfunk, Endgeräte im Feld, wie etwa sequenziell und individuell geschaltete Rollwegmittellinienfeuer, oder sonstige externe Führungssysteme, wie etwa dynamische Beschilderung, oder automatisierte Sprachinstruktionen auf Flugfunkfrequenzen oder Frequenzen anderer Empfangssysteme des Flugzeugs oder Fahrzeugs, oder auch in Flugzeuge und Fahrzeuge integrierte oder mobile Anzeigesysteme mit den dargelegten Anzeigeebenen. 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.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, im Hinblick auf die oben genannten Anfor- derungen die Erfassungsqualität eines Bodenlagedarstellungs- und Verkehrs- führungs- oder Verkehrsmanagementsystems, insbesondere an einem Flughafen, zu verbessern. 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.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Vorrichtungsanordnung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 sowie durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des An- spruchs 14. Vorteilhafte und zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtungsanordnung und des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens sind in den zugehörigen Unteransprüchen angegeben. This object is achieved by a device arrangement having the features of claim 1 and by a method having the features of claim 14. Advantageous and expedient embodiments of the device arrangement according to the invention and of the method according to the invention are specified in the associated subclaims.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtungsanordnung dient zur Verbesserung der Erfassungsqualität von Bodenlagedarstellungs- und Verkehrsführungs- oder Verkehrsmanagementsystemen, insbesondere an einem Flughafen, und umfasst wenigstens folgende, miteinander wechselwirkende Komponenten: eine Befeuerungseinrichtung mit wenigstens einem ansteuerbaren Leuchtmittel, und einen Erdmagnetfeldsensor zur Ermittlung der Position, Bewegungsrichtung, Ausrichtung und/oder Geschwindigkeit eines Objektes. Die Erfindung beruht auf der Erkenntnis, dass Erdmagnetfeldsensoren eine geeignete Technologie darstellen, um die lokale Erfassungsqualität zu verbessern. Erdmagnetfeldsensoren, wie sie in DE 10 2012 014303 A1 beschrieben sind, werden bis dato nicht in Bodenlagedarstellungs- und Verkehrsführungsoder Verkehrsmanagementsystemen oder in vergleichbaren Systemen einge- setzt. Die vorgeschlagene Integration dieser Technologie macht die Implementierung weniger aufwändig als ein losgelöstes Konzept. Die Erfindung schafft auch ein Verfahren zur Verbesserung der Erfassungsqualität von Bodenlagedarsteliungs- und Verkehrsführungs- oder Verkehrsmanagementsystemen, bei dem wenigstens eine Vorrichtungsanordnung der oben beschriebenen Art verwendet wird. Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung und aus der beigefügten Zeichnung, auf die Bezug genommen wird. In der Zeichnung zeigt die einzige Figur ein Schaubild einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtungsanordnung. 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. In the drawing, the single figure shows a diagram of a preferred embodiment of the device arrangement according to the invention.
Anhand der einzigen Figur werden eine Vorrichtungsanordnung (in der Figur als„Sensor Guidance Lights" bezeichnet) und ein Verfahren zur Verbesserung der Erfassungsqualität von Bodenlagedarsteliungs- und Verkehrsführungs- oder Verkehrsmanagementsystemen vorgestellt. Die beschriebene Ausführungsform betrifft die Anwendung der Anordnung bzw. des Verfahrens an einem Flughafen mit vorgeschalteter Sensordatenfusion, integriert mit individueller automatisierter Multikanal-Verkehrsführung über verschiedene auditive und visuelle Kanäle für Flugzeuge, Fahrzeuge und Fahrzeugverbünde. Unter Multikanal-Verkehrsführung ist zu verstehen, dass wahlweise und je nach Verfügbarkeit von Modulen in einer konkreten Implementierung im Feld, auch zwei oder mehr synchronisierte Führungsmittel parallel die gleiche Information übermitteln, wie zum Beispiel eine synthetische Sprachinformation parallel zu einem entsprechend geschalteten Mittellinienfeuer. Fahrzeugverbünde sind beispielsweise Schleppzüge oder geführte Schleppzüge, aber auch Formationen, wie beispielsweise im Winterdienst. With reference to the single figure, 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 Under 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.
Die Ausführung der Vorrichtungsanordnung ist modular, und die Integration der Module kann gleichwohl eine physische Integration im Sinn von„räumlich darin enthalten", wie auch eine technische Integration im Sinn von„direkt damit verbunden" bedeuten. Letzteres umfasst insbesondere die Anbringung von Modulen oder Teilmodulen wie Antennen und Sensoren außerhalb der Befeuerung (nachfolgend auch: Feuer), z.B. in vorhandenen oder gefrästen Spalten in der Flugbetriebsfläche oder als Anbauteile an oberirdischen Installationen. 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.
Zur Verbesserung der lokalen Erfassungsqualität von Objekten werden in der hier beschriebenen Vorrichtungsanordnung Erdmagnetfeldsensoren verwendet. Erdmagnetfeldsensoren können die Position, die Bewegungsrichtung, Objekt- ausrichtung und die Geschwindigkeit eines Objektes ermitteln. Diese Daten können zu einem Vektor zusammengefasst und in einem proprietären Format oder - im Rahmen der hier bevorzugten Anwendung - auch im luftfahrtgebräuchlichen ASTERIX-Format (All-purpose Structured EUROCONTROL Surveillance Information Exchange), beispielsweise in den Dialekten CAT.10 oder CAT.65 ausgegeben werden. Die Daten können dann entweder lokal verarbeitet werden (in der Vorrichtungsanordnung mit dem jeweiligen Sensor), in einem Verbund von kooperierenden Vorrichtungen (integrierte Feuer), z.B. an einer Kreuzung, zentral durch eine Sensordatenfusion, oder durch Module eines Bodenlagedarstellungs- und Verkehrsführungs- oder Verkehrsmanagementsystems. Im Verbund agierende Vorrichtungen mit integrierten Erdmagnetfeldsensoren können hierbei auch dazu genutzt werden, um eine vereinfachte Identifikation des Objekts zu erzielen. So werden Fahrzeuge von Flugzeugen unterschieden. Bei den Fahrzeugen können Größenklassen identifiziert werden, beispielsweise Personenwagen oder Omnibus, und bei den Flugzeugen werden Flugzeugtypen erkannt. To improve the local detection quality of objects, 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. Thus, vehicles are distinguished from aircraft. For vehicles, size classes can be identified, such as passenger cars or buses, and aircraft types are recognized.
Wie bereits eingangs erwähnt, macht die Integration dieser Technologie die Implementierung weniger aufwändig als ein losgelöstes Konzept. Bei der hier beschriebenen Ausführungsform der Vorrichtungsanordnung sind Erdmagnet- feldsensoren modular mit Komponenten zur individuellen automatisierten Verkehrsführung und in bereits großflächig an Verkehrsflughäfen implementierte Vorrichtungen integriert, insbesondere in so genannte Rollwegmittellinienfeuer (Standardfall) oder auch in Rollwegbegrenzungsfeuer, Haltebalkenfeuer oder Haltepositionsfeuer, oder auch in Systeme zur Parkführung und Informations- Systeme wie Displaysysteme, Ampelanlagen und sonstige Führungselemente wie auch dynamische oder statische Beschilderung. As already mentioned, the integration of this technology makes the implementation less complicated than a detached concept. In the embodiment of the device arrangement described here, 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.
Durch die Integration entstehen neue Nutzungs- und Automatisierungsmöglichkeiten im Bereich der Rollverkehrsführung. Daneben können Verfahren, welche eine erhöhte Präzision erfordern, wie die Kreuzung aktiver Start- und Landebahnen, noch sicherer abgearbeitet werden. Zudem bietet die Integration Zugang zum Stromversorgungsnetz und im konkreten Fall eines Mittellinienfeuers auch den notwendigen Schutz gegen Drucklasten (Überrollfähigkeit) sowie gegen sonstige Einflüsse wie beispielsweise Feuchtigkeit. Die Nutzung der modularen Vorrichtungseinrichtungen ist in keiner Weise beschränkt und deckt unter anderem auch potenziell die automatisierte Erfassung von Zeitstempeln wie In-Blocks und Off-Blocks (Aufnahme von Bewegung auf der Position oder anderswo und Detektion von Stillstand), aber auch die Detektion der Ausrichtung eines Flugzeuges, beispielsweise nach dem Pushback, ab. 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.
Die detaillierte Beschaffenheit des Rollwegmittellinienfeuers in Bezug auf Zahl der Leuchtmittel (z.B. 1 , 2 oder 4), Art der Leuchtmittel (z.B. Halogen oder LED) und auch die derzeitige Nutzung des Feuers (zur reinen Orientierung, oder als Führungsmittel im Rahmen eines sog.„Follow-the-Greens", also der individuellen sequenziellen Anzeige des freigegebenen Routensegments durch aktivierte Feuer) sind für die Erfindung nicht von wesentlicher Bedeutung. Im idealen Fall ist das Feuer als Führungsmittel nutzbar und besitzt ein, zwei, vier, sechs, oder mehr Leuchtmittel (z.B. drei pro Richtung und jeweils eines in rot, gelb und grün). Im Fall von orangen und blauen Rollleitlinien auf einem Flughafen können alter- nativ oder zusätzlich auch diese Farben in den Feuern erhalten sein. Das Feuer erhält seine Steuerungsbefehle wahlweise über Powerline-Communication von einem Befeuerungssteuerungssystem (oder Komponenten/Peripherie hiervon), welches seinerseits von einem Bodenlagedarstellungs- und Verkehrsführungsoder Verkehrsmanagementsystem, anderen Partnersystemen oder von Nutzern instruiert werden kann, oder über ein gesondertes Kommunikationskabel wie beispielsweise ein Local Area Network-Kabel, oder über einschlägige kabellose Kommunikationsstandards, wie GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, LTE, LTE Advanced, ΙΕΕ 802.1 a/h, ΙΕΕ 802.11 b/g, ΙΕΕ 802.11 η, IEE802.1 ac, WiMAX und AeroMACS sowie deren Nachfolger und andere, und meldet über den glei- chen Kanal seinen Status zurück. Es besteht also eine Datenverbindung, welche im Rahmen der Erfindung für neue Datenarten und zu weiteren Systemen als bisher genutzt wird, wie später noch genauer erläutert wird. Zudem ist es möglich das Feuer zur Signalisierung von Instruktionen entweder vom zentralen Bodenlagedarstellungs- und Verkehrsführungs- oder Verkehrsmanagementsystem ansteuern zu lassen, oder auf Basis der Sensordaten des modular integrierten Erdmagnetfeldsensors, bzw. auf Basis von Informationen von kooperierenden Vorrichtungsanordnungen (integrierte Feuer), z.B. an einer Kreuzung. The detailed nature of the taxiway centerline fire in relation to the number of bulbs (eg 1, 2 or 4), type of bulbs (eg halogen or LED) and also the current use of the fire (for pure orientation, or as a guide within a so-called " Follow-the-greens are not essential to the invention, ideally, 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. Communication from 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, ΙΕΕ 802.1 a / h, ΙΕΕ 802.11 b / g, ΙΕΕ 802.11 η, IEE802.1 ac, WiMAX and AeroMACS and their successors and others, and returns its status over the same channel. Thus, there is a data connection, which is used in the context of the invention for new types of data and other systems than before, as will be explained in more detail later. In addition, it is possible to control the fire for signaling instructions either from the central floor attitude display and traffic management system, or based on the sensor data of the modular integrated earth magnetic field sensor or information from co-operating device arrangements (integrated fire), e.g. at a crossroads.
Die Vorrichtungsanordnung enthält ferner ein Modul der Art, wie es in WO 2014/135500 A1 beschrieben ist, zur automatisierten Sendung von synthe- tischen, teilsynthetischen oder natürlichen individuellen und wahlweise auch zu einschlägigen Standards, beispielsweise ICAO Doc 4444 ATMI/501 , abzurufen unter; http://www.navcanada.ca/EN/media/Publications/ICAO-Doc-4444-EN.pdf, konformen Sprachnachrichten an Empfänger in Cockpits von Verkehrsflugzeu- gen und Fahrzeugen, welche von einem zentralen System zur Bodenlagedarstellungs- und Verkehrsführungs- oder Verkehrsmanagementsystem mit Instruktionen versorgt werden und/oder lokal oder im Verbund mit weiteren gleichen oder ähnlichen Vorrichtungen Instruktionen ermitteln können. Hierbei kann wahlweise eine für jedes Ereignis individuelle Flugfunkfrequenz oder jede andere Frequenz, wie auch die arker Beacon Receiver Frequenz von Flugzeugen, bedient werden. Neben Instruktionen sind auch automatisierte Informationen denkbar, wie z.B. der Hinweis auf eine bevorstehende kritische Situation oder Angaben zu relevanten Variablen, wie Wetter, Oberflächenbeschaffenheit oder Ähnliches. Die Vorrichtungsanordnung kann auch so konfiguriert sein, dass sie jedem Verkehrsteilnehmer, die gleiche Information übermittelt, z.B. „Attention, Active Runway 300 Meters Ahead!". Auslöser kann hierbei die Sensorik in der Vorrichtungsanordnung sein, die Abstimmung mit weiteren Vorrichtungsanordnungen in einem Verbund, sowie auch das zentrale Bodenlagedarstellungs- und Verkehrsführungs- oder Verkehrsmanagementsystem. Sollte die Vorrichtungs- anordnung hierbei via Datenlink an zentrale Systeme, beispielsweise eine Airport Operational Database (AODB) oder das zentrale Bodenlagedarstellungs- und Verkehrsführungs- oder Verkehrsmanagementsystem angebunden sein, oder sollte ein modularer A-DSB Empfänger zur Identifikation verbaut sein (siehe weiter unten), so kann der Funkspruch auch die Identifikation der Rollbewegung beinhalten, wie z.B. „Lufthansa 123, Attention, Active Runway 300 Meters Ahead I". Insgesamt erlaubt dies auch, die Vorrichtungsanordnung als Schutzmechanismus vor unerlaubtem Eindringen in bestimmte Zonen zu nutzen, wie beispielsweise auch das unerlaubte Befahren einer Start- und Landebahn. 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. In addition to instructions, automated information is also conceivable, such as the indication of an impending critical situation or information on relevant variables, such as weather, surface condition or the like. 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.
Sofern die integrierten Vorrichtungen auf Flugfunkfrequenzen operieren, ist der Einsatz lokaler Zellen mit eingeschränkter Sendeleistung sinnvoll. In solch einem Fall kann die integrierte Vorrichtungsanordnung durch Übermittlung der entsprechenden Information über die beschriebenen Datenlinks sicherstellen, dass der Status des Senders auf den Lotsenarbeitsplätzen angezeigt werden kann. Dies verhindert, dass bei dieser Form der Nutzung eine Frequenz doppelt belegt wird. Zudem ist durch geeignete Mittel sichergestellt, dass die integrierte Vorrichtungsanordnung nur dann eine Funkübertragung auf einer Flugfunkfrequenz vornimmt, wenn diese gerade nicht belegt ist. Die integrierte Vorrichtungsanordnung kann beispielsweise einen Countdown, z.B. über drei Sekunden, auf dem Human Machine Interface (HMI) des Lotsenarbeitsplatzes auslösen, welcher die geplante Belegung der Frequenz in einem lokalen Sendebereich visuell ankündigt. If the integrated devices operate on air radio frequencies, the use of local cells with limited transmission power makes sense. In such a case, by transmitting the corresponding information about the data links described, 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.
Ein in die Vorrichtungsanordnung modular integrierbarer Empfänger für ADS (Automatic Dependent Surveillance), beispielsweise ADS-B, empfängt und verarbeitet Identifikationsinformationen (u.a. Flugnummer, Flugzeugtyp, Zeitsignal, etc.) von Flugzeugen und Fahrzeugen, welche von diesen üblicherweise auf 1.090 Mhz ungerichtet ausgestrahlt werden. Dies geschieht wahlweise zur lokalen Verarbeitung in einer integrierten Vorrichtungsanordnung, zur Integration in den Entscheidungs- und Führungsprozess eines Verbunds, zwecks Weiter- gäbe an das zentrale Bodenlagedarstellungs- und Verkehrsführungs- oder Verkehrsmanagementsystem oder eine Sensordatenfusion, oder für eine Kombination hieraus. Sollte ADS durch Technologien wie Mode S Extended Squitter oder VDL Mode 4 mit oder ohne TDMA, FLARM, oder ECDIS wie in der Schifffahrt oder andere Standards abgelöst werden, so wird der ADS Empfänger in der Vorrichtungsanordnung durch ein entsprechendes abweichendes Modul ersetzt. A receiver for ADS (Automatic Dependent Surveillance), for example 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. Should 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.
Die gleichzeitige Nutzung eines nicht-kooperativen Sensors (Erdmagnetfeldsensor) und eines kooperativen Sensors (ADS-B Empfänger) ist dahingehend eine Besonderheit, als sie die Vorrichtungsanordnung zu einem kombinierten nicht-kooperativen und kooperativen Sensorsystem macht. Die modular integrierte Logikeinheit der Vorrichtungsanordnung ist in der Lage, lokal Entscheidungen zu treffen, beispielsweise bezüglich Sequenzierung an einer Kreuzung (dies schließt ausdrücklich auch das Sequenzieren zwischen Flugverkehr und Straßenverkehr ein, inklusive dem automatischen Schalten von Ampelanlagen oder anderen visuellen Systemen zur Anzeige von Verkehrs- Instruktionen, wie auch dynamische Beschilderung), und diese via unidirektio- naler oder bi-direktionaler kabelgebundener oder kabelloser Datenlinks an das zentrale Bodenlagedarstellungs- und Verkehrsführungs- oder Verkehrsmanagementsystem zu übermitteln, oder sie wahlweise direkt im Feld mittels der anderen integrierten Module oder externer Führungsmittel visuell oder auditiv an die Nutzer zu übermitteln. Ferner kann die Logikeinheit zur Abstimmung mit anderen Vorrichtungsanordnungen gleicher prinzipieller Art genutzt werden, um lokal, z.B. für eine Kreuzung, Entscheidungen zu treffen und mit Hilfe der integrierten Module oder von Peripheriesystemen umzusetzen. 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. Furthermore, 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.
Die integrierte Vorrichtungsanordnung kann über die genannten 'Datenverbindungen mit weiteren IT-Systemen der luftseitigen Flughafeninfrastruktur kommunizieren, u.a. auch mit der Airport Operational Database oder anderen Systemen. Hierbei können Informationen in beide Richtungen ausgetauscht werden, wie z.B. Positions- und Vektorinformationen und erfasste Zeitstempel von der integrierten Vorrichtungsanordnung zu den IT-Systemen und Flugplandaten oder Sequenzierungsanforderungen von der zentralen Einheit zur Vorrichtungsanordnung. Die Informationen zur Bodenlage werden hierbei entsprechend einschlägiger Standards im ASTERIX-Format, beispielsweise im Dialekt CAT.10, oder in einem proprietären Format zur Verfügung gestellt. Die Logikeinheit ist ferner dafür verantwortlich, die unterschiedlichen Führungsmittel zu synchronisieren, z.B. bei einer Halteaufforderung das Feuer in der betreffenden Richtung auf Rot zu schalten oder zu deaktivieren und parallel zugehörige Datenlink- und Sprachinstruktionen zu versenden. Ein weiteres Modul zur Integration in die Vorrichtungsanordnung ist eine Vorrichtung für Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) zur Übertragung von Datenlinkinstruktionen, wie Start-up, Push-back und die Taxiroute ins Cockpit und in Fahrzeuge. Die diesbezüglichen Instruktionen werden vom zentralen Bodenlagedarstellungs- und Verkehrsführungs- oder Verkehrs- managementsystem mit oder ohne Zutun eines Menschen über die beschriebenen Datenlinks zur Verfügung gestellt und gemäß aktuell definiertem D-TAXI Message Set oder einem proprietären Standard auf den hierzu vorgesehenen Kanälen versendet. Auch eine Anzeige der Route oder von Clearances wie Start- up oder Push-back auf dem Anzeigesystem des Parkführungssystems, bei- spielsweise eines Advanced-Visual Docking Guidance Systems (A-VDGS), oder auf anderen Displaysystemen, wie Ramp Displays, kann vorgesehen sein. 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. Herein, 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 Bodenlagedarstellungs- 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 ,
