  • Publication number: 20110037616
    Abstract: The embodiments relate to a method for monitoring a traffic route for a means of transport of a predetermined kind, particularly for an aircraft on a lane at an airport. The method involves noise signals that occur in a section of the traffic route (2) being recorded with a sound pickup (6, . . . , 13) and evaluated such that a piece of localization information is ascertained which indicates whether a means of transport (1) of the predetermined kind is in the section of the traffic route (2). If the piece of localization information reveals that a means of transport (1) of the predetermined kind is in the section, the admissibility of the means of transport (1) to be in the section is checked on the basis of one or more prescribed criteria, whereupon an appropriate checking result is output. The method according to the embodiments is distinguished in that the evaluation of noise signals can be used to achieve reliable localization of means of transport independently of weather conditions.

  • Publication number: 20030184449
    Abstract: A docking system for airport terminals has a docking station subsystem and a docking station for each gate. The docking station subsystem is connected via a communication network to a central working position (control device). The docking station subsystem includes an airfield situation monitoring and processing segment ASMPS, at least one advisor and guidance display segment AGDS, a data and status handler segment DSHS having at least one video camera for each center line of the gate, and at least one ground operation panel segment GOPS. The docking station subsystem has an auxiliary subsystem connected to it, by which information relating to aircraft models and the gate can be entered in the docking station subsystem. A docking guidance system is connected to other systems of an airport and includes a docking guidance subsystem for each gate of the airport.
