Abstract: Disclosed are an airport control decision support system and method based on semantic recognition of a controller instruction. The system includes a speech acquisition module, a noise processing module, a speech recognition module, a semantic recognition module, a conflict recognition module, and an alarm display terminal. The system can effectively eliminate accidents and potential accidents thereof caused by human factors in a control process, and can improve safety of aircraft ground operation. Different from ordinary speech recognition and semantic recognition, data annotation of pronunciation and intonation is performed based on special pronunciation of air traffic control, and finally a speech database that conforms to airport control standard phrases is constructed. The airport control decision support system is implemented by installing a speech acquisition device and the alarm display terminal in a control seat, and thus the system is economical and practical.

Abstract: A sensor module is provided that includes a magnetic sensor and a microcontroller. The magnetic sensor is configured to measure a magnitude of a magnetic field component of an Earth magnetic field projected on a sensing axis of the magnetic sensor and is configured to generate a measurement signal. The magnetic sensor is configured to rotate about an axis through the Earth magnetic field such that the measurement signal oscillates between a first and second extremas as the magnitude of the magnetic field component projected onto the sensing axis changes due to rotation of the magnetic sensor about the axis. The microcontroller is configured to receive the measurement signal, acquire a predetermined number of measurement samples over a sampling period, calculate a variance value of the acquired measurement samples, and determine whether the magnetic sensor is rotating about the axis based on a threshold test of the variance value.
