  2. Overview • Problem Statement & Project Validity • Solution Approaches • Project Goals, Design, & Results • Suggested Future Progress

  3. Problem Statement Production of an overlay system that will increase safety by providing pilots with a visible and persistent path indication during their taxi. • Overlay: Non-vital, fail-safe • Visible: Utilizes existing taxiway centerline lights • Persistent: Signal remains visible to pilot throughout taxi procedure

  4. Project Validity • Seeks to prevent historically tragic runway incursions • 1977 – Tenerife • 1991 – Los Angeles • 1996 – Quincy, IL • Seeks to reduce expensive repairs due to error • 2011 – JFK International Airport

  5. Solution approaches • Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) • Airport Surface Detection Equipment, Model X (ASDE-X) • Runway Status Lights (RWSL) • Automated Taxiway Advisory System (ATAS)

  6. Project goals Proof-of-Concept Model • Accurately portrays operations of an arbitrary small-scale airport • Physical model produces tangible demonstration use cases that are easy to understand • Increases visibility of hardware-software interfacing role • Draws on electronics expertise of team Requirements • Provide visual cue as per problem statement • Schedule aircraft routes efficiently • Attempt to prevent collisions due to pilot route deviation

  7. Project Design: Hardware • Model of Airport • Plywood Sheet: 3’x6’ • Painted markings distinguishing taxiway and runway sections • Lego terminal • Lighting • Edge Lights and dedicated power supply • Centerline Lights • Presence Detection • Parallax RFID Reader • Interfacing Tools • Arduino Mega and Arduino Uno

  8. Project Design: Software • Scheduling Algorithms: Shortest Path between sections • Allows for un-inherent incursion (expected) • This will allow for us to show incursion on taxiways. • Mapping of the airport • GUI • LED Lighting Schema

  9. GUI DeMo

  10. Project Results • Model constructed • Hardware Interfacing – 70% • Wiring complete, LED sequencing complete • Presence detection working; not integrated • Software Integration – 70% • GUI nearing completion • Schedule / LED sequence interface pending • PICTURES!!!

  11. Suggested Future progress • Second Stage: Miniature Small Scale Airport: many small moving parts • Add a more complex taxi system • Get multiple RFID Readers for taxiways
