High-precision Aircraft Positioning

Airbly Inc.是一家设计和制造自动飞机记录设备的公司，位于PEI的argyle Shore。到目前为止，Airbly已经推出了一款名为PhoenixAircraft MonitorTM的最先进的飞机记录设备，它可以被动地监控每一架飞机的飞行，并在飞机飞行时自动通过卫星报告使用情况。它能够在检测到发动机启动时自行开启，在发动机停止时自行关闭。每个日志条目包括以下项目：时间，飞行路线，警报和天气状况。尽管“凤凰”飞机监控系统取得了成功，但Airbly希望进一步提高飞行路径模块的精度。在技术上，Airbly希望利用现有的传感信息来获得飞机的高精度定位。在这个项目中，我们将与我们的行业合作伙伴Airbly合作，提出一种新的飞机定位方法，充分利用Phoenix Aircraft MonitorTM内置的传感器来确定飞机的纬度、经度和高度。

Airbly Inc. is a company that designs and manufactures automatic aircraft logging devices, which is located inArgyle Shore, PEI. So far, Airbly has rolled out a state-of-the-art aircraft logging device named PhoenixAircraft MonitorTM, which passively monitors every aircraft flight and automatically reports usage oversatellite as the plane flies. It is capable of turning itself on when it detects an engine start and turning itself offwhen the engine stops. Every logbook entry includes the following items: time, flight path, alarms, and weatherconditions. Despite the success of Phoenix Aircraft MonitorTM, Airbly would like to further improve theprecision of the flight path module. Technically, Airbly would like to utilize the available sensing informationto obtain high-precision positioning of aircrafts. In this project, we will collaboratively work with Airbly, ourindustry partner, to come up with a novel positioning method for aircrafts, which makes full use of the built-insensors in Phoenix Aircraft MonitorTM to determine aircraft latitude, longitude, and altitude.
