[0053] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0054] Referring to Figure 1 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the flight plan automatic filling method for an electronic flight bag provided by the present application.
[0055] The first aspect of the present application provides a flight plan automatic filling method for an electronic flight bag, comprising steps S1 to S6, as follows:
[0056] Step S1: extracting waypoint information of an original flight path from an original flight plan;
[0057] Step S2: obtaining a real-time position of an aircraft based on a preset time period;
[0058] Step S3: determining a flight leg where the aircraft is currently located based on the real-time position and the waypoint information and through a preset flight leg determination algorithm;
[0059] Step S4: determining a set of passed waypoints and a pre-flight waypoint of the aircraft based on the flight leg; the set of passed waypoints comprises historical passed waypoints or newly added passed waypoints;
[0060] Step S5: updating state information of the newly added passed waypoint to a passed state and recording an update time;
[0061] Step S6: filling an actual arrival time of the newly added passed waypoint in a flight plan electronic form based on the update time and correcting a predicted arrival time of the pre-flight waypoint.
[0062] It should be noted that the historical passed waypoint refers to a waypoint whose state information has been updated to a passed state before the current time; the newly added passed waypoint refers to a waypoint that is newly determined to be in a passed state according to real-time flight conditions at the current time; and the pre-flight waypoint refers to a next target waypoint that has not been reached by the aircraft.
[0063] In the step S1, a series of processing is required for the original text data corresponding to the original flight plan received by the electronic flight plan system, including:
[0064] a1, full-text information modularization: through a pattern matching engine (such as a regular expression technique), the original text is divided into multiple independent information modules, such as flight basic information, flight performance parameters, navigation data, weather conditions, and announcement information.
[0065] a2, navigation information processing: for the navigation data part in the original text, further format processing is performed to identify and extract the waypoint information of the original flight path.
[0066] a3, structured data processing: for each extracted waypoint, perform structured splitting, record and model the core parameters of the waypoint name, the identification of the route to which it belongs, the cruising altitude, the flight speed (including true airspeed), the estimated fuel quantity, and orderly store these structured data in the database.
[0067] In step S2, the real-time position of the aircraft is derived from real-time track data of the aircraft; wherein the real-time track data is obtained from satellite positioning information of an electronic flight bag (EFB) device, data information of an onboard flight computer system, or data information of a cockpit air-ground interconnection.
[0068] b1, satellite positioning information of the EFB device: the EFB device has satellite navigation real-time positioning function, and can obtain real-time position, height, and time information of the aircraft through a system data interface, which can be used to represent the real-time track of the aircraft.
[0069] b2, data information of the onboard flight computer system: the onboard flight computer system contains information such as planned route, flight track, real-time position, heading, speed, height, and time of the aircraft. These data can be obtained by installing an aircraft interface device (AID), and real-time track data can be obtained from the AID with the help of an interface module or by establishing a Wi-Fi environment.
[0070] b3, data information of the cockpit air-ground interconnection: through a satellite communication broadband network, air-ground data is bidirectionally interconnected. The onboard flight computer system transmits navigation positioning data, automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) track data, and information such as position, speed, and height of the aircraft to the air-ground interconnection system, which then uploads these data in real time, thereby obtaining real-time track data of the aircraft.
[0071] Referring to Figure 2 is a flowchart of another embodiment of the flight plan automatic filling method for an electronic flight bag provided by the present application.
[0072] In an optional embodiment, the flight segment in which the aircraft is currently located is determined based on the real-time position and the waypoint information in step S3, by using a preset flight segment determination algorithm, including:
[0073] create a first waypoint list according to the waypoint information and in the order of the waypoint flight sequence; wherein the first waypoint list comprises: the intelligence area to which each waypoint belongs and a waypoint state; the waypoint state comprises: an un-passed state, a pre-flight-to state or a passed state;
[0074] determine a first intelligence area in which the airplane is currently located and a second intelligence area to which the airplane is about to fly according to the real-time position;
[0075] compose a second waypoint list based on the waypoints in the first intelligence area and the second intelligence area;
[0076] obtain a corresponding candidate flight segment based on the combination of two adjacent waypoints in the second waypoint list;
[0077] calculate the distance from the real-time position to each of the candidate flight segments, and select the candidate flight segment with the shortest distance among all the distances as the flight segment in which the airplane is currently located at the current time.
[0078] As shown in Figure 2 , the specific implementation process of the preset flight segment determination algorithm is as follows:
[0079] c1, obtain a first waypoint list M1 arranged in sequence and divided according to intelligence areas in the original flight plan. The first waypoint list M1 records the intelligence area to which each waypoint belongs and the waypoint state, and of course also records the name, coordinates and sequence of each waypoint; wherein the waypoint state is initially set as the un-passed state.
[0080] c2, in the flight process, obtain and record the real-time position of the airplane once every 1 minute (i.e. a preset time period) through step S2. Let the current time be t, obtain the waypoints in the current intelligence area (the first intelligence area) and the next intelligence area (the second intelligence area) at time t, and compose a second waypoint list M2.
[0081] c3, in the second waypoint list M2, obtain the corresponding candidate flight segment (line segment) through the combination of two adjacent waypoints. Then, the distance between the real-time position of the airplane at time t and each candidate flight segment is calculated by using the "point-to-line segment distance algorithm", and the candidate flight segment with the shortest distance to the airplane is selected as the flight segment at time t.
[0082] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 3 , is an example diagram of the candidate flight segment and the flight segment provided by the present application. It is assumed that at a certain time t mThe second determined waypoint list M2 successively contains the waypoint P285, the waypoint TOC, the waypoint P588, and the waypoint BUBDA, i.e., P285->TOC->P588->BUBDA (partial interception of the original flight path). The two-by-two adjacent waypoints in the second waypoint list M2 are combined to obtain candidate flight segments corresponding to P285 and TOC, TOC and P588, and P588 and BUBDA, respectively. The candidate flight segment corresponding to P285 and TOC is a flight segment determined by the aircraft at the time t. m
[0083] It should be noted that the manner of obtaining the second waypoint list M2 mainly includes the following two manners:
[0084] In the first implementation manner, all waypoints in the first information area where the aircraft is currently located and the second information area where the aircraft is about to fly are directly extracted from the first waypoint list M1 to form the second waypoint list M2. This method is simple and direct, but it will lead to a large consumption of computing resources in the subsequent distance calculation stage.
[0085] In the second implementation manner, the second waypoint list is formed based on the waypoints in the first information area and the second information area, including:
[0086] extracting all waypoints in the first information area and the second information area from the first waypoint list to form a candidate waypoint list;
[0087] determining whether there is a start point of a flight segment determined at a previous time in the candidate waypoint list;
[0088] if not, the candidate waypoint list is directly used as the second waypoint list;
[0089] if yes, the waypoints in the candidate waypoint list located before the start point are deleted to obtain the second waypoint list.
[0090] It should be noted that the second waypoint list M2 constructed by the second implementation manner mainly corresponds to the following two situations:
[0091] (1) The aircraft flies around part of the waypoints at the time t, which may cause the candidate waypoint list to not contain the start point of the flight segment determined at the time t-1.
[0092] (2) If the start point of the flight leg determined at the time t-1 exists in the candidate waypoint list, it indicates that the candidate waypoint list contains the flight leg at the time t-1. Since it is needed to determine whether the flight leg at the time t and the flight leg at the time t-1 are the same in the future, it is needed to keep the waypoint related to the flight leg at the time t-1 and the waypoints after it in the candidate waypoint list. The waypoints before the start point of the flight leg at the time t-1 have been updated to the state information of "passed state" in the previous step, and thus can be deleted from the candidate waypoint list and do not need to participate in the distance calculation in the future, so as to reduce the consumption of the calculation resource.
[0093] In an optional embodiment, the step S4 of determining the set of passed waypoints and the pre-flight waypoint of the aircraft based on the flight leg comprises:
[0094] determining the flight leg of the aircraft at the previous time and the current time as a first identified leg and a second identified leg respectively;
[0095] determining whether the first identified leg and the second identified leg are the same;
[0096] if the first identified leg and the second identified leg are the same, all the waypoints before the end point of the first identified leg in the original flight path are determined as the historical passed waypoints;
[0097] if the first identified leg and the second identified leg are not the same, the end point of the second identified leg in the original flight path is determined as the pre-flight waypoint, and all the waypoints after the start point of the first identified leg and before the end point of the second identified leg in the original flight path are determined as the newly added passed waypoints.
[0098] It should be noted that if the first identified leg and the second identified leg are not the same, the embodiment of the present application will also determine all the waypoints before the end point of the first identified leg in the original flight path as the historical passed waypoints.
[0099] In the specific implementation, the coordinates of the two end point waypoints of the flight leg of the aircraft at the current time (i.e. the second identified leg) are recorded, and the coordinates of the two end point waypoints recorded by the flight leg at the previous time (i.e. the first identified leg) are compared. At this time, there are two cases:
[0100] ① If the two end point waypoints at the time t are the same as the two end point waypoints at the time t-1 (i.e. the first identified leg is the same as the second identified leg), it is determined that the aircraft is still in the same leg.
[0101] It is worth mentioning that in the embodiment of the present application, for t=1 moment, the flight segment of the previous moment is set as an empty set, so in the case of t=1 moment, all the waypoints located before the end point of the second identified segment are all the newly passed waypoints.
[0102] In addition, if the previous moment is just the take-off state, it is judged whether the two end point waypoints of the current moment include the departure waypoint; if yes, it is determined that the aircraft is still in the initial segment. At this time, by comparing the sorting information recorded in the list M1 in step c1, the state information of the waypoint with the higher sorting (the start point of the second identified segment) among the two end point waypoints of the t moment is changed to the "passed state", and the state information of the waypoint with the lower sorting (the end point of the second identified segment) is changed to the "pre-flight state".
[0103] If the two end point waypoints of the t moment are inconsistent with the two end point waypoints of the t-1 moment, it is determined that the aircraft is in a different segment from the previous moment, i.e. the aircraft has flown or circled at least one waypoint within the two recording times. If the previous moment is just the take-off state, it is judged whether the two end point waypoints of the current moment include the departure waypoint; if no, it is determined that the aircraft is not in the initial segment. At this time, by comparing the sorting information recorded in the list M1 in step c1, the state information of all the waypoints except the last one (all the waypoints located before the second identified segment) among the two end point waypoints of the t moment is changed to the "passed state", and the state information of the last waypoint (the end point of the second identified segment) is changed to the "pre-flight state".
[0104] In an optional embodiment, the updating of the state information of the newly passed waypoint to the passed state and the recording of the updating time in the step S5 include:
[0105] When the newly passed waypoint is identified, updating the newly passed waypoint from the un-passed state or the pre-flight state to the passed state in the first waypoint list;
[0106] Recording the updating time of the state information corresponding to the newly passed waypoint.
[0107] Further, the filling of the actual arrival time of the newly passed waypoint and the correction of the estimated arrival time of the pre-flight waypoint in the flight plan electronic form based on the updating time in the step S6 include:
[0108] Taking the updating time as the actual arrival time of the newly passed waypoint;
[0109] Obtaining the flight time between the pre-flight waypoint and the previous adjacent waypoint from the original flight plan;
[0110] correct the estimated time of arrival of the pre-flight waypoint based on the update time and the flight duration.
[0111] It should be noted that when the state information of any waypoint in the original flight path / first waypoint list M1 is changed (updated) from "not passed state" or "pre-flight state" to "passed state", the state change time (i.e. update time) is recorded. The update time of the added passed waypoint state information is automatically filled in the corresponding actual time of arrival (ATA) in the flight plan electronic form. At the same time, according to the actual time of arrival (i.e. the update time of the state information of the previous adjacent waypoint) and the time interval between the two waypoints (i.e. the flight duration between the previous adjacent waypoint and the pre-flight waypoint), the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of the next waypoint (pre-flight waypoint) is automatically corrected, i.e. ETA = ATA (update time) + adjacent two waypoint planned flight time (flight duration).
[0112] In addition, since the preset time period is 1 minute (the real-time position of the aircraft is obtained once every 1 minute / time is recorded once every 1 minute), and the minimum time unit of ATA in the flight plan is minute, even if the update time of the state information is recorded when the aircraft has already flown through the waypoint, the state update time of the waypoint and its ATA will be at most a few seconds, and there is no deviation in minutes. Based on this, the state update time of the added passed waypoint can be used as its actual time of arrival.
[0113] In an optional embodiment, the method further comprises:
[0114] prompting the target person with the pre-flight waypoint and providing alert information related to the pre-flight waypoint; wherein the alert information includes restricted areas and announcement information.
[0115] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application reminds the crew of the next target waypoint (pre-flight waypoint) of the aircraft and the restricted areas and announcement information related to the waypoint. For example, in the EFB chart, the next waypoint (pre-flight waypoint) is highlighted and displayed, and the restricted areas and announcement information of the waypoint are obtained, and the crew is reminded through a pop-up window, so that the crew can know the flight space-time restrictions of the next waypoint in advance, establish an air scenario awareness in advance, and thus take necessary safety measures.
[0116] The specific restricted areas and announcement information include:
[0117] d1, the restricted area covered by the aeronautical information compilation includes: on the one hand, the restricted area published on the aeronautical chart, such as restricted area, danger area, artillery firing area, restricted area and border line data; on the other hand, the restricted area involved in the supplementary data and temporary files of the aeronautical information compilation, such as military exercise area.
[0118] d2, the temporary restricted area of the navigation notice includes: the temporary restricted aviation area, the no-fly route / air route provided by the navigation notice, and the runway or taxiway not available.
[0119] d3, the meteorological risk area includes: first, the cloud area which has a significant impact on air flight, such as cumulonimbus cloud / cumulus cloud impact area; second, the volcanic ash impact area; third, the tropical cyclone (typhoon) impact area; fourth, the special weather phenomenon which has an impact on air flight, such as air turbulence area, air icing area, etc.
[0120] d4, other air risk location area: for example, the national border line, the route turning point in advance, the temporary restricted information published by the air traffic control, and the self-defined restricted area of the crew, etc.
[0121] In summary, the flight plan automatic filling method for the electronic flight bag provided by the first aspect embodiment of the present application can automatically fill in the actual arrival time of the current waypoint in the flight plan, and automatically correct the expected arrival time of the next waypoint, thereby effectively reducing the operation burden of the crew and reducing the occurrence of human errors; on the other hand, it can also remind the crew of the next target waypoint and the related restricted area and announcement information, thereby enhancing the flight safety.
