A Simulation Platform for Airport Runway Collision Warning System

Abstract

The increasing passenger throughput makes the large-scale aviation hub being unable to bear the burden gradually. Flight delays caused by cannot fly through the ATC tower in time are becoming more and more common, which makes airlines have to face the problem of passenger loss. Meanwhile, runway intrusion incidents caused by the high load operation of the airport also occur frequently. Once there is a collision, airlines will suffer huge economic losses. In order to avoid runway intrusion, improve air transport efficiency and reduce airline losses, runway collision avoidance system emerges as the times require. Based on the real airport map geographic coordinate data, this paper draws the airport dynamic map in the on-board moving map for the pilot, defines several kinds of runway intrusion scenarios, and introduces 3D real-time visual display into the platform in order to build a complete set of simulation verification platform for airport runway collision avoidance system. The research results of this paper can be used to verify the optimization algorithm of runway collision avoidance system and the test of airport dynamic map in the future, which is of great significance to improve the traffic condition of large airports in the future.
