Abstract: A device arrangement for improving the detection quality of ground situation representation systems and traffic guidance or traffic management systems, in particular at an airport, comprises at least the following components interacting with each other: a lighting unit having at least one controllable lamp, and an earth's magnetic field sensor for determining the position, direction of movement, orientation, and/or speed of an object.

Abstract: A method of transferring air cargo loading units (12) between a publicly accessible operational zone (A) and a security-sensitive apron zone (B), including a stationary transfer and security checking system (10) which comprises a first transfer device (22), a second transfer device (24), and a cargo lock (14) in between, the cargo lock (14) including a lock chamber (16) which is connected to the first transfer device (22) via a cargo entrance gate (18) and to the second transfer device (24) via a cargo exit gate (20), includes the following method steps: a) the air cargo loading units (12) are delivered by a road or rail transport means (28) via the publicly accessible operational zone (A); b) the cargo entrance gate (18) is opened with the cargo exit gate (20) in the closed condition; c) the air cargo loading units (12) are transported into the lock chamber (16) by means of the first transfer device (22); d) the lock chamber (16) is separated from the publicly accessible operational zone (A) by closing th

Abstract: A method for optimized use of the airside capacities of an airport, in which by means of electronic data processing system a current operating capacity of the airport and a current traffic demand are calculated. Information for an optimized use of the available resources is determined and outputted based on the current operating capacity and the current traffic demand. Further provided are an information system and a control system for optimum runway use and a software program for executing the method.

Abstract: An emergency power supply system for a load connected to an AC grid (normal grid) includes a fuel cell for generating direct current, an inverter for providing alternating current, and a controller. The controller includes a synchronizing means which synchronizes the current provided by the inverter in phase with the current of the AC grid. The emergency power supply system hence is able to again provide the normal grid to the loads without further interruption.

Abstract: For traffic routing in a walking zone in public buildings, complexes of buildings and traffic zones, which have a plurality of destinations interconnected by traffic routes there are arranged along the traffic routes continuous visual orientation lines which each are associated to one destination, end at the associated destination and can readily be distinguished from each other. The orientation lines are equipped with univocal indicator features pointing towards the associated destination. It is preferably effected by remote control that the orientation lines are composed of display devices which are selectively activated in sections. Remote control is performed in particular by a central control center via a network to which also the control units are connected, which activate the display devices.
