Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aviation safety technology, specifically relating to an airport bird risk assessment method based on bird aerial situation, used to quantitatively assess and classify the risk of collisions between birds and aircraft around airports. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the air transport industry, airport operational safety has become one of the core issues of concern in the global civil aviation sector. Bird strikes (i.e., collisions between birds and aircraft) are a significant threat to aviation safety. Bird strikes can not only cause structural damage to aircraft but also trigger serious flight accidents, resulting in substantial casualties and economic losses. Therefore, effectively monitoring bird activity in and around airports and accurately assessing the collision risk with aircraft has become a crucial aspect of airport bird strike prevention efforts.

[0003] Currently, existing bird strike risk assessment methods mostly focus on single-dimensional analysis, such as building statistical models based on bird numbers, activity frequency, or historical bird strike data, or making rough judgments based on the spatial relationship between bird locations and airport runways. Some methods introduce the relative position or speed of birds and aircraft, but often ignore the dynamic trends of their movements, spatial distribution characteristics, and the combined effects of multiple factors. Furthermore, existing models typically lack a weighted fusion mechanism for multiple risk factors during the assessment process, resulting in insufficient comprehensiveness and accuracy of the assessment results, making it difficult to meet the needs of refined and dynamic risk warnings in actual operations. In particular, most existing models only focus on the number of birds, ignoring the impact of the spatial dispersion characteristics of bird flocks on collision risk. In reality, for the same number of birds, the wider the dispersion range, the higher the probability of them covering the aircraft's flight path, and the greater the collision risk.

[0004] Therefore, this invention comprehensively considers factors such as the three-dimensional spatial location of bird targets, flight speed, airport location, bird population, flight dispersion, and spatial relationship with the runway, and constructs an influencing factor that includes five dimensions: space, speed, altitude, regional distribution, and cluster dispersion. This allows for a more comprehensive assessment of the threat level of birds to aircraft flight, providing technical support for airport construction and subsequent effective operation.
