Sistema de monitoreo y control para las luces de pista de los Aeropuertos La Mina y Puerto Bolivar

Abstract

Bearing in mind that according to the RAC (Aeronautical Regulations of Colombia) the entities that provide the infrastructure service must keep in mind; that the illumination of the runway must be adequate for the minimum conditions of visibility and ambient light at the moment in which it is used. That in the aerodromes that have runway lighting systems, there must be a control and monitoring system for the illuminated visual aids, in said airfield, for the proper functioning of the same. And finally that they are responsible for the damages that are caused by the operation of the aerodromes and the provision of the aforementioned services. Taking into account that a monitoring and control system can provide an airport with an improvement in the efficiency of the air traffic controller by providing adjustments in each lighting system, in a faster and more precise way. In addition to improving the security for the different aircraft since any change in these systems is of vital importance for the recognition of the runway and a correct descent to it, since this system allows the air traffic controller and the pilot to make relevant decisions for each of the required operations and / or conditions that may arise. In this way, the ENTELCOM company, requires a monitoring and control system for the runway lights of the La Mina and Puerto Bolívar airports, the main objective of this degree project is to carry out said system in such a way that it meets the different needs present at airports. For this, a characterization of each system was made, a selection of the different components necessary for the creation of said system, the configuration of each one, and a simulation of the whole system, so that the correct functioning can be verified with respect to as stipulated in the Aeronautical regulations of Colombia.
