Automatic Aircraft Parking Systems

Abstract

Nowadays technology is moving toward automation which reduces need for human in the production of goods and services, hence which reduces the human related errors and increases the efficiency of work. In the paper LDR sensor based Automatic Aircraft parking, flight automatically senses the line and parking is done by line following sensors. Using these sensors the man power can be reduced. The working is explained as when the all the passengers leave from the flight it needs to park in separate place. We fix the parking mode buttons in flight. The number of parking mode buttons is equal to the number of parking slots in the airport. If we select the mode 2 the flight sense the particular way for the mode 2 parking area by using the LDR sensor. It skips the mode 1 way and parking slot. If any obstacles in that line the flight detect that obstacle by using the IR sensor. It stops the process and gives an alarm. The whole process is done controlled by the PIC16F877A. In this paper we will discuss the design, development, implementation and modification of a cost effective and efficient guidance system for commercial airplanes, this system is based on the microcontroller and sensors which guide the airplane throughout the ways between the parking area and the runway.
