More Information
Summary:An anti-collision system for an aircraft and an aircraft including the anti-collision system are disclosed including a sensor data processing unit configured to process data received from multiple sensors installed on a tow tug to detect objects around the aircraft, and output information about detected objects; a safeguarding box building unit configured to generate, based on an aircraft geometry database, a three-dimensional safeguarding box for the aircraft; and a risk assessment unit configured to update the safeguarding box based on data corresponding to different operation modes of the tow tug, calculate relative distances between the detected objects and the aircraft based on the information about the detected objects that is output from the sensor data processing unit, and determine whether there is a collision risk between the aircraft and an object, among the detected objects based on the updated safeguarding box. The system is configured to output an alarm or a warning when there is the collision risk.
