Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of boarding bridges, and in particular relates to a remote boarding bridge reception detection system and method. Background Art

[0002] Before a flight lands, the boarding bridge must be activated for a test run to ensure it functions properly, allowing passengers to dock safely and promptly. Currently, this test run still requires an operator to operate the bridge's control panel on-site, automatically checking the bridge's functions, including movement, raising and lowering, and canopy extension and retraction.

[0003] This method of manually operating the boarding bridge operation panel on site to test the bridge has the following defects: 1. Due to the large number of flights and the fact that all operations rely on operators to manually start the bridge test in advance, the bridge test process lacks guarantees.

[0004] 2. Due to the large area of ​​the terminal building and the wide layout of the boarding bridge equipment, operators need to pass through the corresponding boarding gate of the flight, the fixed end of the boarding bridge, and the movable end of the boarding bridge in sequence to reach the boarding bridge operating table, which increases the time and labor cost of bridge testing.

[0005] 3. The current automated bridge test operation is only effective for a single boarding bridge and cannot centrally control and manage all boarding bridge equipment in the entire terminal. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative work.

[0020] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the process of the method in Example 1 of the present invention; Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the system structure in Example 2 of the present invention; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the system structure in Example 3 of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is intended to help understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. The specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are merely intended to describe exemplary embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention may be embodied in a variety of alternative forms, and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0022] It should be understood that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the corresponding terms should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can refer to a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments based on specific circumstances.

[0023] In the following description, certain details are provided to facilitate a thorough understanding of the example embodiments. However, one skilled in the art will appreciate that the example embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. For example, devices may be shown in block diagrams to avoid obscuring the examples with unnecessary detail. In other embodiments, well-known processes, structures, and techniques may be shown without unnecessary detail to avoid obscuring the embodiments.

[0024] Example 1: This embodiment provides a method for remote boarding bridge test, which can be applied to corresponding remote boarding bridge test systems, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps: S1. Obtain flight information of a target flight from a flight information display system on an airport bus.

[0025] During implementation, the bridge test system can obtain flight information of the target flight from the flight information display system on the airport bus. This flight information may include flight number, flight type, flight time, aircraft type, and parking information. Flight types include arriving flights, departing flights, and transit flights; flight times include estimated arrival / departure times, planned arrival / departure times, and actual arrival / departure times; aircraft types may include commonly used aircraft models such as the A320, A321, B787, A380, C919, and C909; and parking information includes single-bridge parking, dual-bridge parking, triple-bridge parking, and combined parking. A single-bridge stand means that the stand has only one boarding bridge and has one door that can reliably accommodate small aircraft, such as A320, A321 and other models; a double-bridge stand means that the stand has two boarding bridges and can reliably accommodate a large aircraft or a small aircraft with two doors, such as B787, A350 and other models; a triple-bridge stand means that the stand can reliably accommodate a large aircraft with three doors or a large aircraft or a small aircraft with two doors, such as A380, B747 and other models; a reset stand means that the stand can simultaneously dock two small aircraft or one extra-large aircraft.

[0026] The above flight information can be obtained in conjunction with the flight information display system. By integrating the airport's daily flight arrival and departure plans, real-time flight dynamics and other data, a real-time flight dynamics list can be obtained, and further real-time dynamic information of the target flight can be obtained.

[0027] S2. Match the target flight with a corresponding boarding bridge according to the flight information of the target flight, and use the boarding bridge matched by the target flight as the target boarding bridge.

[0028] In specific implementations, the system can match one or more aerobridges at the target flight's stand based on the target flight's stand information and aircraft type, and use the matching aerobridge as the target aerobridge. If multiple aerobridges are available at the same stand, the system can match aerobridges based on the type of aircraft that will dock. If a large aircraft is docking and requires two devices, the system can simultaneously target both aerobridges and perform bridge testing on both devices simultaneously. If two small aircraft are docking, the system can also use a command queue based on the chronological order of the aircraft's estimated arrival times, conducting bridge testing at the corresponding test time periods according to the two aircraft's estimated arrival times. For example, at compound stand 211, if an A320 is scheduled to arrive at 9:00 AM and another A321 is scheduled to arrive at the same stand at 11:00 AM, the system will test aerobridge 211R, which will be docking with the A320, at 8:30 AM and aerobridge 221L, which will be docking with the A321, at 10:30 AM. For compound stands where one aircraft has not yet departed and another is about to land, the system will collect the real-time status of both aerobridges and test only the aerobridge that has not yet docked, ensuring targeted and reliable testing. For example, at compound stand 213, if a C919 is docking at aerobridge 213R and a C909 is about to arrive at 2:00 PM, the system will only test the aerobridge at stand 213L, where the C909 is docking, at 1:30 PM.

[0029] S3. Collect the real-time status information of the target boarding bridge from the boarding bridge monitoring system, and determine whether the status of the target boarding bridge is normal based on the real-time status information.

[0030] During specific implementation, after determining the target boarding bridge corresponding to the target flight, the system can collect real-time status information of the target boarding bridge from the boarding bridge monitoring system, such as the boarding bridge's trigger, ultrasonic deceleration, various limit switches and other characteristic signals, and judge whether the target boarding bridge is normal based on the real-time status information, so as to avoid testing the boarding bridge in abnormal operating status such as docking failure, and prevent the occurrence of safety accidents.

[0031] S4. When it is determined that the target boarding bridge is in normal condition, the monitoring data of the bridge test alarm device of the target boarding bridge is collected, and it is determined whether the bridge test alarm device of the target boarding bridge has triggered an alarm based on the monitoring data.

[0032] During specific implementation, when the target boarding bridge is determined to be in normal condition, the system collects monitoring data from the target boarding bridge's bridge test alarm device, including detection data from various sensors of the bridge test alarm device, such as lidar and ultrasonic waves, to determine whether the target boarding bridge's bridge test alarm device has triggered an alarm based on the monitoring data. The various sensors of the bridge test alarm device can ensure full coverage of the detection area of ​​the boarding bridge's internal and external passages and the aircraft receiving port. At the same time, infrared barrier can be installed at the boarding bridge entrance to prevent personnel from entering the boarding bridge. The system can collect data from sensors at various points to ensure that the interior of the boarding bridge is safe before the bridge test and that no personnel are inside the boarding bridge, thereby avoiding safety accidents such as falls or falls caused by the activation of the bridge test.

[0033] S5. After determining that the bridge test alarm device of the target boarding bridge has not triggered an alarm, retrieve the bridge test configuration parameters of the target boarding bridge, and generate a bridge test instruction according to the bridge test configuration parameters of the target boarding bridge.

[0034] In specific implementation, after determining that the bridge test alarm device of the target boarding bridge has not triggered the alarm, the system can call the bridge test configuration parameters of the target boarding bridge (i.e., bridge test strategy) and generate corresponding bridge test instructions based on the bridge test configuration parameters of the target boarding bridge.

[0035] S6. Determine the pick-up inspection time of the target boarding bridge based on the flight information of the target flight, and send a warning instruction and a bridge test instruction to the target boarding bridge when the pick-up inspection time is reached, so that after the target boarding bridge receives the warning instruction and the bridge test instruction, it executes the warning instruction to trigger its bridge test alarm device to issue a bridge test warning, and executes the bridge test instruction to perform the bridge test operation.

[0036] During specific implementation, the system can set the target flight's flight time in advance based on the target flight's flight type, and then obtain the target boarding bridge's pick-up inspection time. If the flight type is an inbound flight, according to current airport data, the shortest time from landing to taxiing to the corresponding parking position is 15 minutes. Therefore, the system starts the bridge test operation 20-30 minutes in advance of the expected inbound flight time and configures the pick-up inspection time. Since the bridge test process generally takes about 30-45 seconds to complete, generating a bridge test instruction lasting about 1 minute can fully cover the entire bridge test process. If the flight type is a departing flight, according to current airport data, the aircraft will enter the parking position about 1 hour in advance, and the maintenance personnel will inspect the aircraft. Therefore, the system can start the bridge test 90-120 minutes in advance of the planned outbound flight time, configure the pick-up inspection time, and generate a bridge test instruction lasting about 1 minute. If the flight type is a transit flight, since the boarding bridge will not be withdrawn once it docks with the aircraft, the pick-up inspection time is determined only based on the arrival time of this type of flight.

[0037] When the target boarding bridge's arrival inspection time arrives, a warning command and a bridge test command are sent to the target boarding bridge. Upon receiving the warning and bridge test commands, the target boarding bridge executes the warning command, triggering its bridge test alarm device to issue a bridge test warning, and then executes the bridge test command to conduct the bridge test operation. The target boarding bridge's bridge test warning must be activated 30 seconds in advance of the bridge test operation start time. Voice announcements and warning bells are used to warn personnel inside and outside the boarding bridge, prompting them to leave. Meanwhile, personnel who have not yet entered the target boarding bridge are advised to stay away from the equipment. The warning period lasts until the bridge test operation is completed. For example, the target boarding bridge can activate an infrared barrier at the boarding bridge entrance in response to the warning command to prevent anyone from entering the boarding bridge during the bridge test time. The bridge test alarm device can issue a bridge test warning through an alarm speaker and voice announcement device. It can also activate alarm speakers and flashing lights installed on the wheel frame below the boarding bridge to warn personnel on the apron to evade the target boarding bridge. This warning period warns personnel both inside and outside the target boarding bridge, and lasts until the bridge test operation is completed.

[0038] S7. During the bridge test operation of the target boarding bridge, the bridge test process data fed back by the target boarding bridge is received, and whether the bridge test process of the target boarding bridge is normal is determined based on the bridge test process data.

[0039] During specific implementation, during the test bridge operation of the target boarding bridge, each time it completes a test, such as testing important functions of the boarding bridge, such as walking, lifting, and rotation of the receiving port, the corresponding test bridge process data will be fed back to the system in real time. After the system receives the test bridge process data fed back by the target boarding bridge, it determines whether each test of the test bridge process of the target boarding bridge is normal based on the test bridge process data.

[0040] S8. When the bridge test operation is completed and the bridge test process of the target boarding bridge is normal, the operating state of the target boarding bridge is initialized to the aircraft reception preparation state.

[0041] In specific implementation, when the target aerobridge's bridge test is complete and the test process is normal, the system sends the normal test results via the airport bus to the Airport Collaborative Decision-Making System (ACDM), the Airbridge Monitoring and Control System (BBMS), and the Airport On-site Operations Control System (OMMS), allowing relevant personnel to access statistics through the corresponding systems. Simultaneously, the bridge test system initializes the target aerobridge's operational state to the aircraft-to-be-landed state. This involves first invoking the target aerobridge's own aircraft configuration module to match the aircraft model to be landed. If the match is successful, a verification command is sent to the target aerobridge, automatically adjusting the target aerobridge to the corresponding parameters for the docked aircraft, i.e., the aircraft-to-be-landed state (including initializing the docking position). If the match fails, a matching failure notification is sent to the BBMS, ACDM, and OMMS systems for manual intervention to initialize the target aerobridge to the aircraft-to-be-landed state. During manual bridge testing, the pre-test state is not sensitive to the aircraft model. This will result in the need to adjust the various boarding bridge mechanisms to the position that matches the docking aircraft model before docking during the formal docking operation. This will increase the docking time. To simplify this process and complete the docking task more quickly, the boarding bridge can read the relevant aircraft model data that has been configured. The system will complete the configuration of the positions of various boarding bridge mechanisms in advance based on the read relevant data. For example, if the aircraft previously docked at the stand for an A350 aircraft, the equipment height was raised to 5 meters. Next, it will dock for an A320 aircraft, and the equipment height needs to be adjusted to 2.2 meters. If this height is adjusted during docking, the docking time will be increased. Therefore, before docking with the A320 aircraft, the system can lower the equipment height to 2.2 meters in advance based on the read aircraft model data A320. Other mechanisms, including wheel frame angle, docking port angle, docking platform height, etc., can also be operated in this way, which is not detailed here.

[0042] During the entire testing process, if the target aerobridge is identified as abnormal, its bridge test alarm device is triggered, or the aerobridge test process is abnormal, a bridge test interruption command is generated and sent to the Airport Collaborative Decision-Making System (ACDM), the Bridge Monitoring System (BBMS), and the Airport On-site Operations Control System (OMMS). This interrupts the target aerobridge test process and notifies relevant personnel through these three systems for intervention. After manual on-site troubleshooting of the anomaly, a manual remote reset message is sent back to the bridge test system. Upon receiving the manual remote reset message, the bridge test system generates a bridge test reset command and sends it to the target aerobridge, resetting the target aerobridge's interruption status. To ensure that any issues arising during the target aerobridge test are resolved, a bridge test interruption can only be resolved through manual troubleshooting and remote reset, which will cause the system to initialize the bridge test. This manual reset method accurately identifies the cause of the interruption and resolves it.

[0043] In the event of flight delays or early landing, the frequency of obtaining flight data in the flight list can be preset, for example: repeatedly obtaining real-time flight dynamics every 30 seconds, one minute, or ten minutes to obtain updated flight information. In the event of flight delays, the system can compare the latest flight data of the flight. If the aircraft stand information and the information of the boarding bridge on the stand have not changed, the system will call the bridge test feedback database of the corresponding boarding bridge. If the boarding bridge has completed the bridge test, no further testing will be performed. If the bridge test feedback data does not exist, the bridge test strategy will be configured according to the new estimated time. In the event of early landing, the system will compare the actual landing time of the flight with the estimated arrival time. If the actual landing time of the aircraft is earlier than the estimated arrival time, the inspection time will be configured according to the actual landing time, and the bridge test instruction will be sent to the corresponding boarding bridge for bridge test operation, so as to make adaptive adjustments to ensure the accuracy of the linkage between the instruction and flight information. For example: the A319 aircraft at stand 210 was originally scheduled to arrive at 15:00, but the system found that the landing time of the flight was updated to 14:10, so the system sent the bridge test instruction according to 14:10; for another example: the A320 aircraft at stand 211 was originally scheduled to arrive at 15:00, when the system refreshed the flight list, it was found that the scheduled time of the flight was updated to 16:00, then the system would search for historical data to see whether the bridge test had been completed at 14:30. If there is no bridge test data, the system would resend the bridge test instruction to the equipment at 15:30.

[0044] For individual flights for which flight information is unavailable (e.g., those with missing flight numbers), the system cannot automatically perform bridge trials. To streamline the trial process, remote manual trial bridge commands are generated for the target flight and sent to the airport's collaborative decision-making system, the aerobridge monitoring system, and the airport's on-site operations control system. Because the video content of these systems is fully integrated, personnel can remotely and manually test aerobridges requiring trial bridges using the OMMS, BBMS, and ACDM systems at the airport's operations center, dispatch center, and on-site duty points, combined with the equipment's video monitoring system, to monitor the real-time footage from each aerobridge. However, if the trial bridge system receives abnormal status data from an aerobridge or alarms from the trial bridge alarm device during the trial, it will automatically send an interrupt command to the relevant aerobridge, halting the remote manual trial bridge operation.

[0045] When an aircraft is changed from a remote parking position to a close parking position, since the close parking position must be connected to the boarding bridge, and there is no arrival information for such flights, the system will refresh the sudden departure data of new flights before the aircraft is towed into position. When the system obtains such data, it is necessary to immediately obtain the real-time status data of the boarding bridge that the flight is about to dock. If this boarding bridge is in a bridge test state, it is necessary to immediately configure its bridge test strategy according to the flight's scheduled departure time, and send a bridge test instruction to the boarding bridge for bridge test operations to avoid delaying the aircraft's arrival time.

[0046] To manage bridge test data, the system must record and save the historical bridge test data of each boarding bridge that has completed a bridge test operation on the hard disk. At the same time, administrator permissions must be set to view the corresponding bridge test data. The bridge test data includes the boarding bridge number, bridge test start time, bridge test end time, bridge test process data, the flight number of the target flight, the aircraft type of the target flight, and the parking information of the target flight. When viewing historical bridge test data, relevant filtering functions can be configured to make the query more convenient and quick. Bridge test data must be stored for at least six months. When the storage is full, historical bridge test data will automatically be overwritten starting from the first data entry.
