AIRPORT POSITIONING SYSTEM

Abstract

The article deals with III. generation radio compasses quadrature signal decoding, which could be used for determining the object’s position on the airport surface. In terms of the volume of flights, for air traffic it has become more and more difficult to create safe movement of aircraft in the air and on the ground. Aircraft surface tracking after landing, before take – off on taxiway are paid significant amount of attention. Also another aircraft and motor vehicle surface tracking system may be used as the presented local positioning system, which is based on the principle of III. generation radio compasses. Such a system design uses triangulation method application with Google Maps. The principle allows real time displaying the position and movement of the object. It is expected, that object’s airport surface tracking will be provided with relatively high accuracy. Taking into account the innovative idea, the accuracy issue would not be evaluated in this article.
