Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of boarding bridges, and particularly relates to a boarding bridge remote aircraft docking detection system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Before the landing of a flight, a boarding bridge needs to be started in advance for a test bridge operation to ensure that the aircraft docking function of the boarding bridge is normal and can complete the task of docking the flight, so that passengers can safely and timely get off the plane. At present, the test bridge operation still needs an operator to operate the operation panel on the boarding bridge on site to realize that the boarding bridge automatically completes the inspection of the aircraft docking functions such as walking, lifting, and canopy extension.

[0003] This way of manually operating the boarding bridge operation panel on site for the test bridge has the following defects:

The specific structures and functional details disclosed herein are only used to describe the example embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be embodied in many alternative forms, and should not be understood as being limited in the embodiments set forth herein.

[0046] It should be understood that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the corresponding terms should be interpreted broadly, for example, “connection” can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integral connection; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or internal communication of two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0047] In the following description, specific details are provided to facilitate a full understanding of the example embodiments. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the example embodiments can be implemented without these specific details. For example, devices can be shown in block diagrams to avoid unnecessary details that make the examples unclear. In other embodiments, well-known processes, structures and techniques can not be shown in unnecessary details to avoid obscuring the embodiments.

[0048] Embodiment 1:

[0049] The present embodiment provides a boarding bridge remote docking detection method, which can be applied to a corresponding boarding bridge remote docking system, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the method comprises the following steps:

[0050] S1. Obtain the flight information of the target flight from the flight information display system on the airport bus.

[0051] In specific implementation, the bridge testing system can obtain flight information of the target flight from a flight information display system on an airport bus, and the flight information can include a flight number, a flight type, a flight time, an aircraft type, and gate information. The flight type includes an arrival flight, a departure flight, a transit flight, etc. The flight time includes a flight expected arrival / departure time, a flight scheduled arrival / departure time, a flight actual arrival / departure time, etc. The aircraft type can include A320, A321, B787, A380, C919, C909, etc. The gate information includes a single-bridge gate, a double-bridge gate, a triple-bridge gate, and a composite gate. The single-bridge gate refers to a gate with only one boarding bridge, which can reliably accommodate a small aircraft with one door, such as A320, A321, etc. The double-bridge gate refers to a gate with two boarding bridges, which can reliably accommodate a large aircraft with two doors or a small aircraft, such as B787, A350, etc. The triple-bridge gate refers to a gate that can reliably accommodate a large aircraft with three doors or a large aircraft with two doors or a small aircraft, such as A380, B747, etc. The composite gate refers to a gate that can simultaneously accommodate two small aircraft or one large aircraft.

[0052] The above flight information can be obtained in linkage with the flight information display system. Through daily flight arrival / departure plans and real-time dynamic flight data of the airport, the flight information can be integrated to obtain a real-time dynamic flight list and further obtain real-time dynamic information of the target flight.

[0053] S2. Matching the corresponding boarding bridge for the target flight according to the flight information of the target flight, and taking the boarding bridge matched by the target flight as the target boarding bridge.

[0054] In specific implementation, the system can match one or more boarding bridges for the target flight based on the stand information and aircraft type of the target flight, and take the boarding bridge matched by the target flight as the target boarding bridge. In the case of multiple boarding bridges for the same stand, the system can match the boarding bridges according to the aircraft model of the aircraft to be docked. If the aircraft to be docked is a large aircraft requiring two devices to be connected, the system can simultaneously take two boarding bridges as the target boarding bridges and simultaneously test the two devices. If the aircraft to be docked is two small aircrafts, the system can also arrange the test according to the order of the estimated arrival time of the two aircrafts. For example, for the composite stand 211, the estimated arrival time of an A320 aircraft is 9 am, and the estimated arrival time of an A321 aircraft in the same stand is 11 am. The system will test the 211R boarding bridge for the A320 aircraft at 8:30 am and the 221L boarding bridge for the A321 aircraft at 10:30 am. For the composite stand, one aircraft has not yet departed and the other aircraft is about to land, the system will collect the real-time state of the two boarding bridges, and only test the boarding bridge that is not connected to the aircraft, to ensure the pertinence and reliability of the boarding bridge test. For example, for the composite stand 213, a C919 aircraft is connected to the 213R boarding bridge, and another C909 aircraft will be docked at 2 pm. The system will only test the boarding bridge device of the 213L stand for the C909 aircraft at 1:30 pm.

[0055] S3. Collect real-time state information of the target boarding bridge from the boarding bridge monitoring system, and determine whether the target boarding bridge is in a normal state according to the real-time state information.

[0056] In specific implementation, after determining the target boarding bridge corresponding to the target flight, the system can collect real-time state information of the target boarding bridge from the boarding bridge monitoring system, such as the touch machine, ultrasonic deceleration, and various limit switches of the boarding bridge, and determine whether the target boarding bridge is in a normal state according to the real-time state information, so as to avoid testing the boarding bridge in a fault connection state or other abnormal operating state and prevent safety accidents.

[0057] S4. When it is determined that the target boarding bridge is in a normal state, collect monitoring data of the test bridge alarm device of the target boarding bridge, and determine whether the test bridge alarm device of the target boarding bridge triggers an alarm according to the monitoring data.

[0058] In specific implementation, when it is determined that the target boarding bridge is in normal state, the system collects monitoring data of the test bridge alarm device of the target boarding bridge, including collecting detection data of various sensors of the test bridge alarm device, such as laser radar and ultrasonic wave, to determine whether the test bridge alarm device of the target boarding bridge triggers an alarm according to the monitoring data. Through various sensors of the test bridge alarm device, the detection area of the entrance and exit of the boarding bridge and the docking port can be fully covered, and an infrared light barrier can be installed at the entrance of the boarding bridge to prevent personnel from entering the boarding bridge. The system can collect data of various point sensors to ensure that the boarding bridge is safe before the test bridge and that no personnel are inside the boarding bridge, thereby avoiding safety accidents such as falling or falling caused by the start of the test bridge.

[0059] S5. After it is determined that the test bridge alarm device of the target boarding bridge does not trigger an alarm, the test bridge configuration parameters of the target boarding bridge are called, and test bridge instructions are generated according to the test bridge configuration parameters of the target boarding bridge.

[0060] In specific implementation, after it is determined that the test bridge alarm device of the target boarding bridge does not trigger an alarm, the system can call the test bridge configuration parameters (i.e., test bridge strategy) of the target boarding bridge, and generate corresponding test bridge instructions according to the test bridge configuration parameters of the target boarding bridge.

[0061] S6. The boarding detection time of the target boarding bridge is determined according to the flight information of the target flight, and when the boarding detection time is reached, an alarm instruction and a test bridge instruction are sent to the target boarding bridge, so that the target boarding bridge receives the alarm instruction and the test bridge instruction, triggers the test bridge alarm device for test bridge pre-warning according to the alarm instruction, and performs test bridge operation according to the test bridge instruction.

[0062] In specific implementation, the system can obtain the boarding detection time of the target boarding bridge by setting the flight time of the target flight in advance for a certain period of time based on the flight type of the target flight. For example, if the flight type is an arrival flight, according to the current airport data, the shortest time from landing to taxiing to the corresponding parking position is 15 minutes, so the system starts the test bridge operation to configure the boarding detection time 20-30 minutes in advance according to the expected arrival flight time. Since the test bridge process is usually completed in about 30-45S, the test bridge instruction with a duration of about 1 minute can completely cover the whole process of the test bridge. If the flight type is a departure flight, according to the current airport data, the aircraft will enter the parking position about 1 hour in advance, and the maintenance personnel will check the aircraft, so the system can start the test bridge 90-120 minutes in advance according to the planned departure flight time to configure the boarding detection time, and generate a test bridge instruction with a duration of about 1 minute. If the flight type is a transit flight, since the boarding bridge will not be withdrawn after docking with the aircraft, the boarding detection time is determined only according to the arrival time of this type of flight.

[0063] When the arrival detection time of the target boarding bridge is reached, the alert instruction and the bridge test instruction are sent to the target boarding bridge. After the target boarding bridge receives the alert instruction and the bridge test instruction, the alert instruction is executed to trigger the bridge test alarm device to perform bridge test early warning, and the bridge test instruction is executed to perform bridge test operation. The bridge test early warning of the target boarding bridge needs to be activated 30 seconds in advance according to the start time of the bridge test operation, and the working personnel inside and outside the boarding bridge are warned to leave through voice broadcast, alarm bell and other ways. At the same time, the working personnel who have not entered the target boarding bridge are kept away from the equipment, and the whole early warning time lasts until the bridge test operation is completed. For example, the target boarding bridge can activate the infrared grating at the entrance of the boarding bridge according to the alert instruction to prevent anyone from entering the boarding bridge during the bridge test time. The bridge test alarm device can perform bridge test early warning through the alarm horn and the language broadcast device, and can also activate the alarm horn, flash light and other devices installed at the wheel frame below the boarding bridge to perform warning, so that the personnel on the apron can avoid, and the personnel in the external and internal areas of the target boarding bridge are warned, and the warning time lasts until the bridge test operation is completed.

[0064] 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 judged according to the bridge test process data.

[0065] In specific implementation, during the bridge test operation of the target boarding bridge, after each detection is completed, the corresponding bridge test process data is fed back to the system in real time. After the system receives the bridge test process data fed back by the target boarding bridge, whether each detection of the bridge test process of the target boarding bridge is normal is judged according to the bridge test process data.

[0066] S8. When the bridge test operation is completed and the bridge test process of the target boarding bridge is normal, the running state of the target boarding bridge is initialized to the arrival preparation state.

[0067] In specific implementation, when the test bridge operation of the target boarding bridge ends and the test bridge process of the target boarding bridge is normal, the system sends the result that the test bridge process of the target boarding bridge is normal to the airport collaborative decision-making system (i.e., the ACDS system), the boarding bridge monitoring system (i.e., the BBMS system) and the airport on-site operation control system (i.e., the OMMS system) through the airport bus, so as to facilitate relevant personnel to check and search through the corresponding system. At the same time, the test bridge system initializes the running state of the target boarding bridge to the aircraft receiving preparation state, including first calling the aircraft model configuration module of the target boarding bridge to match the aircraft model of the aircraft about to land, if the matching is successful, sending a verification instruction to the target boarding bridge, so that the target boarding bridge is automatically adjusted to the corresponding parameter state of the parked aircraft model, i.e., the aircraft receiving preparation state (including initializing the docking position, etc.), if the matching fails, sending a matching failure to the BBMS system, the ACDS system and the OMMS system for manual intervention, so that the target boarding bridge is initialized to the aircraft receiving preparation state. Since the state before manual test bridge is not related to the aircraft model, it will lead to that, when the formal aircraft receiving is performed, the docking bridge needs to be first adjusted to the position conforming to the parked aircraft model, and then the docking operation is performed, which will increase the docking time. In order to simplify the process and complete the docking task more quickly, the relevant aircraft model data configured by the docking bridge can be read, and the system can complete the configuration of the position of each mechanism of the docking bridge in advance according to the read relevant data, for example, the equipment height is raised to 5 meters when the A350 aircraft is docked, and the equipment height needs to be adjusted to 2.2 meters when the A320 aircraft is docked next time, if the height is adjusted again during docking, the docking time will be increased, therefore, before the A320 aircraft is docked, the system can lower the equipment height to 2.2 meters in advance according to the read aircraft model data A320, and other mechanisms, including the wheel carrier angle, the aircraft receiving port angle, the aircraft receiving platform height, etc. can also be operated in this way, which will not be described here.

[0068] During the entire detection process, when it is determined that the state of the target boarding bridge is abnormal, the test bridge alarm device of the target boarding bridge triggers an alarm or the test bridge process of the target boarding bridge is abnormal, a test bridge interruption instruction is generated, the test bridge interruption instruction is sent to the airport collaborative decision-making system (i.e., the ACDS system), the boarding bridge monitoring system (i.e., the BBMS system) and the airport on-site operation control system (i.e., the OMMS system), and the test bridge operation process of the target boarding bridge is interrupted, so as to inform the relevant personnel through the three systems to intervene and handle. After the corresponding abnormality is manually checked and solved on site, manual remote reset information can be fed back to the test bridge system, when the test bridge system obtains the manual remote reset information of the target boarding bridge, a test bridge reset instruction is generated and sent to the target boarding bridge, so as to remove the interruption state of the target boarding bridge. In order to ensure that various problems occurring during the test bridge of the target boarding bridge are solved, after the test bridge is interrupted, only manual checking can be performed, and after the remote reset, the system can initialize and reset the test bridge of the target boarding bridge, and only the manual reset mode can accurately find the cause of the interruption and solve the interruption.

[0069] For the case of flight delay or flight landing ahead of schedule, the acquisition frequency of flight data in the flight list can be preset, for example: 30 seconds, one minute or ten minutes to repeatedly acquire real-time flight dynamics and acquire updated flight information. For flight delay, the system can compare the latest flight data of the flight. If the gate information and the boarding bridge information on the gate of the flight have not changed, the system will call the test bridge feedback database of the corresponding boarding bridge. If the test bridge test of the boarding bridge has been completed, it will not be tested again. If the test bridge feedback data does not exist, the test bridge strategy will be configured according to the new expected time. For flight landing ahead of schedule, the system will compare the actual landing time of the flight with the expected arrival time. If the actual landing time of the aircraft is earlier than the expected arrival time, the detection time will be configured according to the actual landing time, and the test bridge instruction will be sent to the corresponding boarding bridge for test bridge operation, so as to adaptively adjust to ensure the accuracy of the linkage between the instruction and the flight information. For example: the A319 aircraft on 210 gate originally plans to arrive at 15 o'clock. The system finds that the landing time of the flight is updated to 14:10. The system sends the test bridge instruction according to 14:10. For example: the A320 aircraft on 211 gate plans to arrive at 15 o'clock. When the system refreshes the flight list, it finds that the planned time of the flight is updated to 16 o'clock. The system will find whether the historical data of 14:30 has been tested. If there is no test bridge data, the system will resend the test bridge instruction to the equipment at 15:30.

[0070] For individual flights that do not acquire flight information (such as missing flight numbers), the system will not be able to automatically perform test bridge operation. In order to simplify the test bridge process, remote manual test bridge instructions for target flights are generated and sent to airport collaborative decision systems, boarding bridge monitoring systems and airport field operation control systems. Since the video content on the airport collaborative decision system, the boarding bridge monitoring system and the airport field operation control system is fully covered, the staff can perform remote manual test bridge operation on the boarding bridge that needs to be tested through the real-time image of each boarding bridge through the OMMS, BBMS and ACDM systems in the airport operation center, dispatch center, field duty points and device video monitoring system. However, during the test bridge process, when the test bridge system receives abnormal state data of the boarding bridge or alarm data feedback from the test bridge alarm device, it will still automatically send an interrupt command to the related boarding bridge to stop its remote manual test bridge operation.

[0071] For the case of changing the aircraft from a far stand to a near stand, since the near stand must be connected to the boarding bridge, and there is no information on the arrival of the aircraft, the system will be refreshed to have the sudden addition of the departure data of the flight before the aircraft is towed into the stand, when the system obtains such data, the real-time state data of the boarding bridge to be stopped by the flight must be obtained immediately, if the boarding bridge is in the state of being able to test the bridge, the test bridge strategy of the boarding bridge must be configured according to the planned departure time of the flight, and the test bridge instruction is sent to the boarding bridge to perform the test bridge operation, so as to avoid delaying the time of the aircraft into the stand.

[0072] For the management of the test bridge data, the system needs to record and save the historical test bridge data of each boarding bridge ending the test bridge operation through the hard disk, and at the same time, the corresponding administrator permission is set to view the corresponding test bridge data. The test bridge data includes the boarding bridge number, the test bridge start time, the test bridge end time, the test bridge process data, the flight number of the target flight, the aircraft type of the target flight, and the stand information of the target flight. When viewing the historical test bridge data, the relevant screening function can be configured to make the query more convenient and fast, and the test bridge data needs to be saved for at least half a year, and when the storage is full, the historical test bridge data is automatically overwritten from the first data.

[0073] The method realizes the linkage between the boarding bridge test bridge operation and the target flight, and can realize the centralized control and management of the remote automatic test bridge of all boarding bridges in the station; more reasonable use of flight information, saving the manual test bridge operation process, reducing the docking time, improving the efficiency and quality of the boarding bridge test bridge operation; based on the test bridge fault interruption and manual troubleshooting reset mechanism, the safety and reliability of the boarding bridge connection detection can be effectively improved; at the same time, through the initialization of the docking preparation after the test bridge, the docking time can be further reduced, and the docking work of the boarding bridge is more fast and efficient.
