Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of navigation alarm technology, specifically to a method for generating a navigation terrain alarm envelope map and an alarm notification method. Background Technology

[0002] General aviation aircraft are an important part of my country's civil aviation industry and have experienced rapid development in recent years. Compared with passenger and cargo aviation, general aviation aircraft are generally small aircraft, including helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. They are characterized by small payload and flexible mission execution, but their accident rate is significantly higher than that of transport aviation. Because general aviation aircraft have stricter requirements for flight altitude and angle, they often face greater risks compared to transport aircraft. Furthermore, current warning systems for general aviation aircraft do not incorporate flight path, characteristics, and position information into their warning protocols, leading to a higher incidence of false alarms and ultimately contributing to frequent aircraft-to-ground collisions.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0064] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0065] This invention discloses a method for generating a navigation terrain warning envelope map, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0066] Step S11: Obtain the flight path, initial position, current flight speed, and current flight altitude of the general aviation aircraft.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, the flight path of the general aviation aircraft is represented by A, the initial position of the trajectory is represented by B, the current flight speed is represented by V, and the current flight altitude is represented by h.

[0068] Step S12: Based on the first preset time and the current flight speed, calculate the first distance the general aviation aircraft flies along the flight trajectory route, and determine the first flight position based on the initial position of the trajectory.

[0069] Specifically, the first preset time can be flexibly set as needed. For example, if the first preset time is 60 seconds and the current flight speed is v, then the first distance s1 = 60v. Based on this, and combined with the initial trajectory position, the position of the general aviation aircraft at the first distance is determined as the first flight position. This first flight position is... Figure 2 The middle value is C.

[0070] Step S13: Based on the second preset time and current flight speed, calculate the second distance the general aviation aircraft travels along its flight path, and determine the second flight position based on the initial position of the trajectory. Figure 2 In the middle, the second flight position is D.

[0071] Specifically, the second preset time can be flexibly set as needed. For example, if the second preset time is 30 seconds and the current flight speed is v, then the second distance s2 = 30v. Based on this, the position of the general aviation aircraft at the second distance is determined by combining the initial position of the trajectory as the second flight position. Figure 2 In the middle, the second flight position is D.

[0072] Step S14: Based on the preset flight altitude, draw warning and caution boundary lines parallel to the flight trajectory.

[0073] Specifically, in Figure 2 In the system, the preset flight altitudes include: the first flight altitude h0 and the second flight altitude h1. The alarm boundary line is E, and the attention boundary line is F.

[0074] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, in step S12, based on the current flight altitude and the preset flight altitude, alarm warning boundary lines and caution warning boundary lines parallel to the flight trajectory are drawn, including:

[0075] Step S31: Preset the first flight altitude and the second flight altitude.

[0076] exist Figure 2 In this system, the first flight altitude is h0, and the second flight altitude is h1. The first flight altitude serves as a reference altitude for alarm prompts, and the second flight altitude serves as a reference altitude for caution prompts. The preset first flight altitude h0 and second flight altitude h1 can be set according to actual conditions, as shown in Table 1 below.

[0077] Table 1

[0078]

[0079] Step S32: Based on the first flight altitude, draw an alarm warning boundary line parallel to the flight trajectory; and, based on the second flight altitude, draw a caution warning boundary line parallel to the flight trajectory.

[0080] Specifically, in Figure 2 In the middle, draw the warning prompt boundary line E parallel to the flight path. Figure 2 In the middle, draw the warning prompt boundary line F parallel to the flight trajectory.

[0081] Step S15: Based on the first flight position and the second flight position, determine the midpoint between the two as the third flight position.

[0082] Specifically, in Figure 2 In the diagram, the first flight position is C, the second flight position is D, and the position between the two is G, which is taken as the third flight position.

[0083] Step S16: Based on the initial trajectory position, first flight position, second flight position, flight trajectory route, and alarm prompt boundary line, generate an alarm prompt envelope area based on the vertical direction.

[0084] Specifically, in Figure 2In the diagram, the initial trajectory position is B, the first flight position is C, the second flight position is D, the flight trajectory route is A, and the alarm indication boundary line is E. An alarm indication envelope based on the vertical direction is generated using B, C, D, A, and E. Figure 2 In the middle, the alarm indication envelope area is M0.

[0085] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, step S16 above: Based on the initial trajectory position, the first flight position, the second flight position, the flight trajectory route, and the alarm indication boundary line, an alarm indication envelope area based on the vertical direction is generated, including:

[0086] Step S41: Based on the initial position and vertical direction of the trajectory, draw the first boundary line along the first preset angle direction of the flight trajectory.

[0087] Specifically, in Figure 2 In the vertical direction, along the first preset angle of 30° of the flight trajectory route A, a first boundary line W1 is drawn at the initial position A of the trajectory.

[0088] Step S42: Based on the first flight position, the second flight position, and the vertical direction, draw the second boundary line along the second preset angle direction of the flight trajectory.

[0089] Specifically, in Figure 2 In the vertical direction, the second preset angle direction of the flight trajectory route A is 6°. Based on the first flight position C and the second flight position D, the second boundary line W2 is drawn.

[0090] Step S43: Based on the second flight position, the first boundary line, and the second boundary line, draw the third boundary line, which partially overlaps with the alarm prompt boundary line.

[0091] Specifically, in Figure 2 In the vertical direction, based on the second flight position D, connect the first boundary line W1 and the second boundary line W2 to draw a third boundary line W3. The connecting line W3 that coincides with the alarm indication boundary line is W30. Figure 2 If the second flight position D is connected to the intersection of the second boundary line and the third boundary line, then the connecting line is perpendicular to the flight trajectory route A.

[0092] Step S44: Generate an alarm notification envelope area based on the first boundary line, the second boundary line, and the third boundary line.

[0093] Specifically, in Figure 2 In the middle, the first boundary line, the second boundary line, and the third boundary line are connected to form the alarm notification envelope area M0.

[0094] Step S17: Based on the initial trajectory position, first flight position, second flight position, third flight position and attention prompt boundary line, generate a vertical attention prompt envelope region.

[0095] Specifically, in Figure 2 In the diagram, the initial trajectory position is B, the first flight position is C, the second flight position is D, the flight trajectory route is A, and the warning boundary line is F. A vertically based warning envelope is generated using B, C, D, A, and F. Figure 2 In the middle, the alarm attention envelope area is M1.

[0096] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, step S17 above generates a vertical attention cues envelope region based on the aircraft's current trajectory initial position, first flight position, second flight position, third flight position, and attention cues boundary line, including:

[0097] Step S51: Based on the initial position of the trajectory and the vertical direction, draw the first boundary line along the first preset angle direction of the flight trajectory.

[0098] Specifically, in Figure 2 In the vertical direction, along the first preset angle of 30° of the flight trajectory route A, a first boundary line W1 is drawn at the initial position A of the trajectory.

[0099] Step S52: Based on the first flight position, the second flight position, and the vertical direction, draw the second boundary line along the second preset angle direction of the flight trajectory.

[0100] Specifically, based on the first flight position C, in the vertical direction, along the second preset angle direction of 6° of the flight trajectory route A, a second boundary line W2 is drawn, and the line connecting the end point of the second boundary line and the second flight position D is perpendicular to the flight trajectory route.

[0101] Step S53: Draw the fourth boundary line based on the third flight position and the attention prompt boundary line.

[0102] Specifically, in Figure 2 In the middle, the third flight position is G, and the boundary line is F. Based on G, W2, and F, draw the fourth boundary line W4. Specifically, extend G to intersect with the boundary line F and then connect it with the second boundary line W2. The line connecting the second boundary line W2 and the fourth boundary line W4 to the third flight position G is perpendicular to the flight trajectory route A.

[0103] Step S54: Generate a vertical attention cue envelope region based on the first boundary line, the second boundary line, the third boundary line, and the fourth boundary line.

[0104] Specifically, a vertical attention cue envelope region M1 is generated based on the first boundary line W1, the second boundary line W2, the third boundary line W3, and the fourth boundary line W4.

[0105] Step S18: Based on the flight trajectory, initial trajectory position, first flight position, and second flight position, draw a preset quadrilateral region;

[0106] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the flight path is A, the initial position is B, the first flight position is C, and the second flight position is D. A preset quadrilateral region is created based on A, B, C, and D. The specific creation process of step S18 is as follows.

[0107] Step 1: Based on the flight trajectory, the initial position of the trajectory, and the second flight position, draw a fifth boundary line parallel to the flight trajectory with a preset width.

[0108] Step 2: Draw a preset quadrilateral region based on the preset width, the third preset angle, the flight trajectory, and the fifth boundary line.

[0109] Specifically, in Figure 6 For example, if the preset width is 450 meters and the flight path is A, a fifth boundary line, W5, is drawn based on the preset width of 450 meters and the third preset angle of 3° from the flight path A. A preset quadrilateral region M2 is formed by the preset width, the third preset angle, the flight path, and the fifth boundary line.

[0110] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 7 As shown, in step S19, based on the preset quadrilateral region, the initial trajectory position, the first flight position, and the second flight position, an alarm prompt envelope region and a attention prompt envelope region based on the horizontal direction are generated, including:

[0111] Step S71: Divide the area into a preset quadrilateral region based on the second flight position.

[0112] Step S72: Based on the preset quadrilateral region, the first region between the initial trajectory position and the second flight position is used as the horizontal alarm prompt envelope region, and the second region between the second flight position and the first flight position is used as the horizontal attention prompt envelope region.

[0113] Step S19: Based on the preset quadrilateral region, the initial trajectory position, the first flight position, and the second flight position, generate an alarm prompt envelope region and a attention prompt envelope region based on the horizontal direction.

[0114] Specifically, in Figure 6In the horizontal direction, based on the preset quadrilateral region M2, the first region between the initial trajectory position B and the second flight position D is used as the horizontal alarm indication envelope region M0, and the second region between the second flight position and the first flight position is used as the horizontal alarm indication envelope region M1.

[0115] The method for generating a general aviation terrain warning envelope map in this embodiment of the invention, through the above steps S11-S19, generates a general aviation terrain warning envelope map, which is beneficial for accurately prompting general aviation aircraft to fly safely and avoid general aviation aircraft from crashing into the ground.

[0116] Based on the same concept, embodiments of the present invention also provide a navigation terrain warning method, such as... Figure 8 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0117] Step S81: Obtain the current flight position, target terrain position, and Earth radius information of the general aviation aircraft.

[0118] Specifically, the current flight position is the position at any given moment, and the Earth's radius information is represented by R.

[0119] Step S82: Obtain the actual latitude and longitude information of the current flight position.

[0120] Specifically, the actual latitude information of the current flight position can be represented by θ1, and the actual longitude information can be represented by φ1.

[0121] Step S83: Based on the terrain database, obtain the target latitude and longitude information of the target terrain location.

[0122] Specifically, the target latitude information of the target terrain location can be represented by θ2, and the target longitude information can be represented by φ2.

[0123] Step S84: Based on the Earth radius information, actual latitude information, actual longitude information, target latitude information, and target longitude information, calculate the target distance between the current flight position and the target terrain position in the horizontal direction.

[0124] For example, the target distance is calculated using the following formula:

[0125]

[0126] Where d is the target distance, θ1 is the actual latitude information, θ2 is the target latitude information, φ1 is the actual longitude information, and φ2 is the target longitude information.

[0127] Step S85: Based on the actual latitude information, actual longitude information, target latitude information, and target longitude information, calculate the azimuth angle of the target terrain relative to the current flight position.

[0128] For example, the azimuth angle is calculated using the following formula:

[0129]

[0130] Where β is the azimuth angle and Δφ is the difference between the target longitude and the actual longitude.

[0131] Step S86: Obtain the first distance of the general aviation aircraft flying along the flight path to the first preset position, the second distance of the second preset position, and the altitude difference between the current flight position and the target terrain.

[0132] exist Figure 2 or Figure 6 In the diagram, the general aviation aircraft flies along its flight path, with the preset first flight position being C, which is the position after 60 seconds of flight. If the current flight speed of the general aviation aircraft is v, then the first distance is 60v. Figure 2 The altitude difference between the current flight position and the target terrain is h.

[0133] Step S87: Based on the first distance, azimuth angle, second distance, target distance and height difference, determine whether the target terrain position is simultaneously located in the vertical alarm warning envelope area and the horizontal alarm warning envelope area in the navigation terrain alarm warning envelope map. The navigation terrain alarm warning envelope map is generated by the navigation terrain alarm warning envelope map generation method.

[0134] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 9 As shown, step S87, based on the first distance, azimuth angle, second distance, target distance, and altitude difference, determines whether the target terrain position is simultaneously located within both the vertical and horizontal alarm notification envelope areas of the navigation terrain alarm notification envelope map, including:

[0135] Step S91: Determine the preset distance range based on the first distance and the second distance.

[0136] Specifically, in Figure 6 In the first distance, the first distance is 60V and the second distance is 30V. Based on the first distance and the second distance, the preset distance range is determined to be 30V-60V.

[0137] Step S92: If the altitude difference is less than the first flight altitude, determine that the current flight position is located in the alarm prompt envelope area of ​​the navigation terrain alarm prompt envelope map in the vertical direction, and the target distance is less than the second distance. Based on the target distance and azimuth, determine that the current flight position is also located in the alarm prompt area of ​​the navigation terrain alarm prompt envelope map in the horizontal direction.

[0138] For example, the first flight altitude is at Figure 2 In it, it is h0. If h < h0, then the current flight position is vertically within the warning envelope area M0 in the navigation terrain warning prompt envelope diagram. At the same time, if d < t, then combining with β, it can be determined that the current flight position is also horizontally within the warning prompt area M0 in the navigation terrain warning prompt envelope diagram.

[0139] Step S93: If the height difference is less than the second flight height, determine that the current flight position is vertically within the attention prompt envelope area in the navigation terrain warning prompt envelope diagram, and the target distance belongs to the preset distance range. Based on the target distance and the azimuth angle, determine that the current flight position is horizontally within the attention prompt area in the navigation terrain warning prompt envelope diagram.

[0140] Exemplarily, the second flight height is Figure 2 In it, it is h1. If h < h1, then the current flight position is vertically within the warning envelope area M1 in the navigation terrain warning prompt envelope diagram. At the same time, if d < t, then combining with β, it can be determined that the current flight position is also horizontally within the warning prompt area M1 in the navigation terrain warning prompt envelope diagram.

[0141] Step S88: If the target terrain position is simultaneously within the warning prompt envelope area in the vertical direction and the warning prompt envelope area in the horizontal direction, perform a warning prompt action on the navigation aircraft.

[0142] Specifically, the navigation aircraft can perform a warning prompt action during the entire flight phase, and the entire flight phase includes: air / ground, takeoff or go-around, cruise, approach / landing.

[0143] Exemplarily, the forward-looking warning prompt time can be set to 30S, and the forward-looking attention prompt time can be set to 60s.

[0144] Exemplarily, the warning prompt output is as follows: When the target terrain is simultaneously within the warning prompt envelope area in the vertical direction and the warning prompt envelope area in the horizontal direction, light up the attention-level warning light, output the reminder voice of "Attention to terrain, attention to terrain", repeat it every 5s, and at the same time, superimpose and display it on the terrain screen in amber on the display. When the target terrain is simultaneously within the warning prompt envelope area in the vertical direction and the warning prompt envelope area in the horizontal direction in the navigation terrain warning prompt envelope diagram, light up the warning-level warning light, output the continuous warning voice of "Terrain, terrain, pull up", and at the same time, superimpose and display it on the terrain screen in red on the display until the aircraft leaves the warning area. The forward-looking warning prompt is inhibited when within 2Km of the airport or the speed is less than 150Km / H or the current flight height is lower than 10m. The forward-looking warning can be inhibited by pressing a key. When the inhibition function takes effect, there is no output of the forward-looking warning function.
