Abstract: An electronic system and method controls automatic or semi-automatic docking of a vehicle with a given docking area, applicable, in particular, to the docking of an airport vehicle, such as a baggage belt loader, a catering vehicle, etc., to the fuselage of an aircraft, for example to the door of such an aircraft. The given docking area comprises at least one target.

Abstract: The application relates to an aircraft towing system for an airport (1) having at least one towing zone (10) for said aircraft (15). The towing system includes: at least one tow-tractor (21) configured to be operated remotely by means of a wireless connection; a control device intended to be connected to the tow-tractor (21) using the wireless connection and able to control said tow-tractor; and a first sensor (23) intended to equip the towing zone (10) and suitable for supplying information about elements (11A, 11B, 11C) likely to be encountered by the aircraft (15) and/or the tow-tractor (21). The control device is further configured to collect the information supplied by the at least one first sensor (23) and exploit it in controlling the tow-tractor (21) to tow the aircraft (15).
