Simulation of observation of glissade LEDs

Abstract

The aerodrome system of glide fires facilitates piloting during approach aircraft. According to the observed color and signal intensity, the pilot must immediately determine the altitude above the runway. The development of LED technology allows to design the LED equipment for aerodrome light signaling systems - PAPI glide path. Design features with an LED module, the angles of installation of the glide path, the difficulty of observing the airfield LED fires - these factors influence eye contact decision. If the glide path system fails, the crew will not be able to determine the location in space. To solve the complex problem of controlling the perception of LED signals during approach aircraft, a tool using the MatLab interface is offered. The tool simulates the perception of light created on the retina of the pilot eye from the glide path system at the aerodrome in the MatLab interface. The possibility to simulate lighting will help significantly reduce the risk of air crashes.
