Abstract: Embodiments herein provide various systems and methods for automated classification of vehicle reads to build vehicle identification profile and for automated vehicle identification using content extracted from an image frame of a vehicle to identify a most probable vehicle identification profile. An example method comprises capturing, by a camera, a read comprising an image frame including a portion of a vehicle; identifying at least one of a license plate number and a descriptor of the vehicle using image processing on the read; determining a probability value that the read includes the vehicle based on the identified at least one of the license plate number and the descriptor; when the probability value exceeds a threshold value, identifying a vehicle identification profile in a database using the identified at least one of the license plate number and the descriptor; and updating the vehicle identification profile to include the captured read.

Abstract: A motionless skew detection system for an aircraft is disclosed, and includes a flight control surface of an aircraft wing, two drive mechanisms for operating the flight control surface, a first load sensor and a second load sensor for each of the two drive mechanisms, and a control module. Each of the two drive mechanisms are located on opposing sides of the flight control surface and each of the two drive mechanisms include at least a first linkage including a first outer surface and a second linkage including a second outer surface. The first load sensor is disposed along the first outer surface of the first linkage and the second load sensor is disposed along the second outer surface of the second linkage. The control module is in signal communication with the first load sensor and the second load sensor of each drive mechanism.

Abstract: Monitoring of high-lift systems for aircraft. In one configuration, a method for monitoring a high-lift system includes monitoring a first current draw of a first drive station of the high-lift system, and monitoring a second current draw of a second drive station of the high-lift system. The method further includes comparing the first current draw and the second current draw to determine if a differential between the first current draw and the second current draw exceeds a threshold, and generating a failure signal if the differential between the first current draw and the second current draw exceeds the threshold.
