Sistema Fuzzy para Automação do Balizamento Luminoso de Pista de Pouso e Decolagem para Aeroportos

Abstract

This work presents a proposal for the automation of runway edge lighting for airport landing and takeoff using Fuzzy logic. The aim is to reduce the workload of air traffic controllers, minimizing the possibility of human errors during critical moments of landing and takeoff. The proposed system uses runway visibility and cloud ceiling data, collected by equipment such as the Visibilometer and the Tetometer, to adjust the light intensity of the runway edge lighting. Simulations performed in MATLAB with real data demonstrated the feasibility of the proposal, with results comparable to decisions made by human operators.
