Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of airport runway pavement status detection, and in particular relates to a method for detecting black ice on airport runway pavements based on multispectral imaging. Background Art
[0002] Among the major road traffic accidents in my country, the impact of inclement weather, such as rain, snow, and ice, is particularly pronounced. Airport runways, as essential infrastructure for aircraft takeoff and landing, are significantly impacted by inclement weather, posing a direct threat to aircraft safety and operational efficiency. Rain, snow, and ice reduce the friction coefficient of the runway surface, increasing braking distances. Of all road traffic issues, black ice poses the greatest potential for accidents. Black ice is a thin layer of frozen ice on the road surface. Because it resembles the color of asphalt or concrete runways, it is difficult to detect with the naked eye, posing a serious threat to aircraft takeoff and landing and ground operations. Due to the difficulty of road surface detection, black ice has been identified as a major cause of traffic accidents. Therefore, providing users with early warnings of black ice is crucial. The threat posed by black ice to airport runways lies in its concealed nature and slippery, low-friction properties, which significantly reduce the adhesion between aircraft tires and the ground. During taxiing or takeoff, black ice can cause the rear wheels to skid, potentially leading to runway deviation and aircraft spin. Black ice appears wet under illumination, making it difficult for pilots to visually detect, requiring them to rely on sensors for assistance.
[0003] At present, the technical means for monitoring road conditions and detecting black ice are not mature enough. Current methods for detecting black ice on road surfaces include contact and non-contact sensor detection methods. For the contact sensor detection method, it uses the resistance change between stainless steel inside the concrete to detect the road surface condition. The disadvantage of this method is that it is large in engineering effort and high in cost. For the non-contact sensor detection method, it is carried out under reflective and diffuse reflection environmental conditions using a detector consisting of an optical sensor and an infrared thermometer. However, for asphalt pavement, ice particles will be embedded in the gaps of the pavement material, causing small changes in the scattering coefficient and refractive index of the pavement. Therefore, it is necessary to design a method for detecting black ice on airport runway pavements to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting black ice on airport runway pavement based on multispectral imaging.

[0008] 3) Data processing is performed on the irradiance spectrum obtained in step 2) to calculate the average irradiance of each wavelength for the water-logged, dry and black ice asphalt pavement samples and record them as In addition, the average irradiance of the white board under the same wavelength and lighting conditions is measured separately and recorded as
[0009] 4) Calculate the corresponding relative irradiance using the average irradiance of the wet, dry, and black ice asphalt pavement samples and the average irradiance of the whiteboard obtained in step 3);

Finally, the condition of the asphalt pavement to be tested is determined based on the Euclidean distance.
[0012] In step 1), the halogen lamp and spectral sensor are respectively mounted on two spaced-apart support poles; asphalt pavement samples include three types: waterlogged, dry, and black ice. Each asphalt pavement sample is placed directly below the spectral sensor, and light from the halogen lamp is irradiated onto the asphalt pavement sample; the visible light spectrum collected by the spectral sensor ranges from 350 to 1070 nm, with a baud rate of 921,600 bps; and the rated power of the halogen lamp is 500 W.
[0013] In step 2), the distance between the spectral sensor and the asphalt pavement sample is 10 cm; and the spectral sensor saves the irradiance spectrum in a single frame manner.
[0014] In step 4), the relative irradiance of the flooded asphalt pavement sample is calculated as follows:
[0015]
[0016] The relative irradiance calculation formula of the dry asphalt pavement sample is as follows:
[0017]
[0018] The relative irradiance calculation formula of the black ice asphalt pavement sample is as follows:
[0019]
[0020] In step 5), the relative irradiance calculation formula of the asphalt pavement to be tested is as follows:

It can effectively prevent safety accidents caused by black ice on airport runways and has important engineering application value. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
