Development of the Platform-Type Aircraft Weighing System Based on the Internet of Things

Abstract

For the area for the aircraft weighing is relatively large and the display terminal is placed near the aircraft, the operator can’ not conveniently read the data on the display, so the platform-type aircraft weighing system based on the internet of things is developed. The system consists of three platforms, three digital modules, three 4G wireless modules and one cloud server. Three platforms containing sensors are placed under three wheels to measure the weight of an aircraft. The analog voltage signals of the sensors are converted to digital signals by digital modules and then uploaded to the cloud server by a 4G wireless module. A website with IP address consistent with the public IP address is established on the cloud server. The sensor data uploaded to the server is read by the ASP.NET Web Application program. A computer software is developed to log in to the website at any time to check the weighing data and calculate the position of the gravity center of the aircraft according to the formula for calculating the gravity center. The experimental results show that the weighing system is not limited by distance, has good real-time performance, stable operation and reliable calculation.
