Integrated Aircraft Landing System using Lidar And RSSI

Abstract

An aircraft landing system is most essential to ensure quality air traffic and safe landing process. In most airports an advanced aircraft landing system is necessary. This project proposes a system wherein all departments functioning separately are integrated. This system will overcome disadvantages of the existing system such as slow landing process and possibilities of manual error. The project deals with developing an economical and affordable solution for perfect landing in airports based on physical ambient conditions in the airport. The proposed system continuously monitors all the physical parameters and sends an audio signal output in case of an abnormal condition. Various parameters which are required for safe landing such as air temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, fog and visibility are measured using suitable sensors and interfaced to a controller unit. A Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) model is used to determine the ground level clearance. The distance of other aircrafts from the ground station is determined using Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). A simulation output screen is used to continuously display the measured parameter values.
