Project Background

PROJECT BACKGROUND

The proposed project is to develop a Collision Avoidance System for General Aviation (GA) aircraft.

1.

2.

Wingtip collisions have a wide variety of causes as well as levels of severity. They occur in taxi, hangar, and runway areas, and are a problem in both General Aviation (GA) and Commercial Aviation ( Christopher , 2014 ).

Permanent camera installation in wingtip were recommended by NTSB, unfortunately The FAA rejected it citing the additional cost of the permanent camera systems from both installation and negative effects on fuel efficiency ( Broderick, 2013 ).

3.

Indirect costs can be far greater or more impactful than the direct physical damage ( Vandel, 2004 ).

4.

5.

Therefore, the outcome of this project would be a Built-in Collision Avoidance System.

Related Literature Review

Related Literature Review

Many GA hangars do not have specific regulations mandating a certain clearance between aircraft (Murphy, 2007).

1.

Current FAA regulations require the use of wing walkers aside each wing of an aircraft while it is being pushed back from airport gates (FAA Regulations, 2013).

2.

3.

Despite these efforts, the issue of wingtip collisions has not been resolved especially in the GA community which does not require any formal safety precautions ( URI , 2014 ).

At present, there are 27,000 recorded ramp incidents each year in commercial aviation, equal to approximately 1 for every 1,000 departures. GA faces a similar situation, but most incidents go unrecorded ( Flightdotcom, 2013 ).

4.

TO DEVELOP A GROUND COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THE SAFETY OF GENERAL AVIATION (GA) AIRCRAFT.

AIM

OBJECTIVES

OBJECTIVES

IDENTIFY THE GROUND COLLISION AVOIDANCE CAUSES AND IMPACT ON GA AIRCRAFT BASED ON SPECIFIED HISTORICAL DATA.

1.

DEVELOP THE GROUND COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM.

2.

3.

EXAMINE THE GROUND COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM COMPONENT'S AND SENSOR’S CREDIBILITY.

4.

ANALYZE THE OPERATIONAL AND FUNCTIONAL TEST OF THE SYSTEM TO DEDUCE A PHYSICAL SYSTEM AND A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS..

5.

VERIFY THE SYSTEM THROUGH MULTIPLE EXPERIMENTS.

Procedures / Scope of work

PROCEDURES / SCOPE OF WORK

EVALUATE THE OPERATION OF AIRCRAFT PUSHBACK AND TOWING IN A HANGAR ON A REGULAR BASIS.

1.

CONSIDER THE SAFETY DISTANCE RANGE CLEARANCE BETWEEN A SPECIFIC DISTANCE . ( 50 - 200cm )

2.

CARRY OUT MULTIPLE TESTS ( FUNCTIONAL AND OPERATIONAL )

3.

4.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM

- MICROCONTROLLER BOARD ( ARDUINO UNO )

- PROXIMITY SENSOR (Range - ( 0 - 200cm)

- NOISE EMITTING SENSOR ( Warning sensor )

- OV7670 VGA Camera Module
