价格低廉的磁和红外传感器能为管制员提供一种在地面上跟踪飞机和车辆的新的辅助设备,有助于防止地面碰撞事故。 霍尼韦尔公司技术中心最近按FAA的合同研制了一种二重红外/磁传感器。在滑行道和跑道边沿的照明灯柱上加装传感器后,便在机场上设置了数百个小型短距无源系统。由此得到的信息可给出机场上飞机及车辆位置的精确数据,可帮助装有地面探测雷达(如 ASDE-3)的机场实现地面交通自动化管制。 成本低是这种二重传感器为用户所接受的关键,对无力安装地面监视雷达的小型机场很有用。类似的红外传感器的售价不到30美元。低价的磁传感器为目前正进入批生产的制在 Affordable magnetic and infrared sensors provide controllers with a new aids to track aircraft and vehicles on the ground, helping to prevent ground-level collision. Honeywell’s Technology Center recently developed a dual infrared / magnetic sensor under the FAA contract. With the addition of sensors to the lighting poles on taxiways and runway edges, hundreds of small short-range passive systems were installed at the airport. The resulting information gives accurate data on the location of aircraft and vehicles on the airport and can be used to automate ground traffic control at airports equipped with ground-based radar (eg ASDE-3). Low cost is the key user acceptance of this dual sensor and is useful for smaller airports that are unable to install ground surveillance radios. A similar infrared sensor costs less than $ 30. Low-cost magnetic sensors are currently in the process of batch production
