A LATERAL DIRECTOR AUTOPILOT DESIGN FOR CONFLICT RESOLUTION ALGORITHMS Mustafa Suphi Erden, Kemal Leblebiciolu Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Computer Vision and Intelligent Systems Research Laboratory, Middle East Technical University, 06531 Ankara, Turkey Keywords: Aircraft autopilot, aircraft lateral dynamics, air traffic management, conflict resolution. Abstract: Conflict resolution, namely avoidance of aircraft crushes, is one of the main problems to be solved in a free flight based air traffic system. The researches on conflict resolution are mainly performed in simulative environments. In the work presented here, a simple lateral director autopilot is designed for conflict resolution studies. Using such ...
AUTOPILOT CONTROL SYSTEM ABSTRACT An autopilot is a mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic system used to guide an aerial vehicle without assistance from a human being. It also maintains the orientation of the plane by monitoring the relevant flight data from inertial measurement instruments and then using that data to cause corrective actions. In this project an attempt has been made to design, implement and develop an autopilot for a glider plane. 3-axis accelerometer and gyroscopes are used to input the acceleration and tilt data into the controller. This data is then used for further estimation and fuzzy logic is implemented ...
