For many busy airports around the globe, to maintain efficient operations, the aircraft has to be parked on the apron as quickly and precisely as possible under the premise of safety for a jet bridge to reach the aircraft. To ensure the pilots park the aircraft at the exact position in front of the respective gates, Advanced Visual Docking Guidance Systems (A-VDGS) are introduced to airports to provide pilots with visual guidance.

The customer, which is a solution provider in the aviation industry, was looking for an industrial-grade and reliable single board computer to build its Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System (A-VDGS). The SBC should come with a compact form factor, passive cooling, and wide operating temperature support. Moreover, the high quality SBC is expected to drive its infrared laser and 3D scanning devices for actively scanning both vertically and horizontally the gate area to capture the position to locate aircraft.

 Axiomtek has proposed its CAPA310, a 3.5-inch embedded SBC featuring the onboard quad-core Intel® Atom® x5-E3940 processor. At a small form factor, it can be installed in a small chassis to complete the system. It is highly reliable with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +80°C to work in outdoor environments all year, and a power input of 12V to 24V DC. It is equipped with a COM port for a 3D scanner and LVDS for display and switch. The CAPA310 is a highly versatile platform designed for industrial automation, self-service terminals, digital signage, POS/kiosk displays, medical, and more.

Utilizing the CAPA310 for Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System

The customer applied CAPA310 to build its A-VDGS. With its proven infrared laser and 3D scanning devices, the A-VDGS can actively scan the gate area both vertically and horizontally to capture and track aircraft. With a screen, the system aims to provide active guidance, showing the pilots the position information like if the aircraft is at the centerline or not and the distance to the stopping point on a screen. It continues to display the information until the aircraft is correctly positioned, at which point a "STOP" and "OK" signal is shown.
