  • Patent number: 9329083
    Abstract: A mobile apparatus is provided for measuring photometric characteristics of airport marker lights. The mobile apparatus includes a measuring rod configured to be moved above the marker lights to be checked, in light beams emitted by these marker lights, and a device for measuring the distance between the measuring rod and the marker lights to be checked. The measuring rod carries at least one photometric sensor and includes a device for acquiring and processing the signals emitted by the photometric sensor or sensors during its movement, as a function of the distance measured between the measuring rod and the marker lights to be checked. The device for acquisition and processing is configured to generate a set of data representing photometric characteristics of each marker light checked.

  • Publication number: 20140375796
    Abstract: A mobile apparatus measures the characteristics of a light beam emitted by a light unit, presenting at least two angular portions of different colors. The apparatus includes a support that enables the position of a measuring set to vary. The measuring set including a single orientable camera provided with a zoom capable of assuming at least a first low-magnification position for providing reduced magnification and a wide angle of field enabling the detection of the position of the light unit to orient the camera precisely in its direction, and a second position of high magnification enabling the taking of an image of the light unit enabling an analysis of the characteristics of a light beam emitted by a light unit.
