BACKGROUND Airport workers are continuously exposed to different levels of radiofrequency microwave (RF/MW) radiation emitted by radar equipments. Radars are extensively used in military and aviation industries. Over the past several years, our lab has focused on the health effects of exposure to different sources of electromagnetic fields such as cellular phones, mobile base stations, mobile p...

Abstract In order to solve the problems of uav inspection, such as limited endurance and difficulties in long-distance communication control, it is proposed set a steel structure platform on tower airport UAV. The installation will increase permanent load generate additional wind load, which may adversely affect tower. this paper, 220kV overhead transmission line taken an example establish fini...

Scheduling landings of aircrafts is an essential problem which is continuously solved as part of the daily operations of an airport control tower. All planes in the airspace of an airport are to be assigned to landing slots by the responsible air-tra c controller. The support of this decision problem with suited optimization approaches has a long lasting tradition in operations research. Howeve...

The AD4 project aims to explore and provide an innovative Virtual Air-Space representation for ATM systemswhere 3D representations and real time interaction with air traffic/airport space are accessible to the controllers.This paper describes the D3 (D-cube) Virtual Reality framework and its use in the AD4 project to provideinnovative 4D (spatial-temporal) visualization construc...

The main necessary functions to manage the traffic on the movement area and the airspace around an airport are surveillance, control, routing and guidance. 1 Routing is often also termed planning. Today these functions are carried out manually by the controller in the tower and in the apron. But automatic assistance is becoming more and more important with increase of traffic flow in order to r...

1. Motivation Multiple remote tower control aims at enabling one air traffic controller (ATCO) to control simultaneous traffic at two airports at the same time. This concept has the advantage that workforce of the ATCOs can be utilized in an optimized way. Nevertheless, it raises the questions how the workplace should be designed in order to allow the ATCO to handle as much traffic as possible ...

.. Runway incursions are a persistent problem in airport ground-movement operations. Numerous critical conflicts and several fatal accidents have occurred as a result of unauthorized or otherwise inappropriate entry of aircra& or surface vehicles onto an active runway. Many of these conflicts developed quickly, leaving little time for effective intervention by either the controller or the pilot...

There has been growing interest in using electronic alternatives to the paper Flight Progress Strip (FPS) for air traffic control. However, most research has been centered on radar-based control environments, and has not considered the unique operational needs of the airport air traffic control tower. Based on an analysis of the human factors issues for control tower Decision Support Tool (DST)...

The purpose of the air traffic management system is to accomplish the safe and efficient flow of air traffic. However, the primary goals of safety and efficiency are to some extent conflicting. In fact, to deliver a greater level of safety, separation between aircrafts would have to be greater than it currently is, but this would negatively impact the efficiency. In an attempt to avoid the trad...

Driven by the need for cost efficiency and a increasing air traffic service (ATS) level “Remote Tower” concept was developed implemented last years. By relayed video stream from airport to remote location it allows provision of ATS centralized Remote Tower Center, where valuable resources can be pooled used more efficiently. The display streams is usually realized large panorama monitors but sp...
