A Study on the Warning System of Aircraft for Obstacle Avoidance

In this study, we deviced side warning system that is necessary to the ground operation of aircraft. The system consist of obstacle detection part, transmission part, receive part, and warning part. We used TOF(Time Of Flight) method using 40kHz ultrasonic wave as the obstacle detection part. The 447MHz RF module was applied to the transmission and receive part. The warning part is activated by the computer using received distance data. The detection system attach to the left/right side edge of main wing and horizontal stabilizer. We have decided 10m obstacle detection range. The result of experiment was satisfactory.
