Aircraft identification
First Claim
1. Method, implemented in an aircraft docking system comprising a receiver, a processor and a display, for identifying an aircraft in connection to a stand having a predetermined area, said method characterised by:
- the receiver receiving identification data and position data transmitted from an approaching aircraft,the processor receiving information data from a ground-based system pertaining to at least;
information data of aircrafts in neighboring stands, and information data of availability of other stands,the processor comparing said received position data with at least one position within a predetermined area comprising said area of the stand,if said received position data correspond to said at least one position within said predetermined area;
the processor comparing identification data of an aircraft expected at the stand with the identification data of said approaching aircraft and determining if said approaching aircraft is expected or not at the stand,if said approaching aircraft is not expected at the stand;
the processor deciding to stop said approaching aircraft, to let said approaching aircraft approach the stand, or to relocate said approaching aircraft to another location, wherein said decision is based on the received data, andthe display, receiving said decision, and based on the decision displaying a notification selected from one of;
an indication to stop said approaching aircraft,an indication to approach the stand, oran indication to relocate said approaching aircraft to another location.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and system for identifying an aircraft in connection to a stand. The method comprises: receiving identification data and position data transmitted from an aircraft, comparing said received position data with at least one position within a predetermined area in connection to said stand. If said received position data correspond to said at least one position within said predetermined area: determining, based on said identification data, if said aircraft is expected at the stand, and if said aircraft is not expected at the stand: displaying a notification on a display.

7. Aircraft identification system for identifying an aircraft in connection to a stand characterised by:
-
a receiver being arranged to receive identification data and position data transmitted from an approaching aircraft, a processor being arranged to receive information data from a ground-based system pertaining to at least; information data of aircrafts in neighboring stands, and information data of availability of other stands, the processor being arranged to compare said received position data with at least one position within a predetermined area in connection to said stand and determine if said received position data correspond to said at least one position within said predetermined area, the processor being arranged to compare identification data of an aircraft expected at the stand with the identification data of said approaching aircraft and determine, if said received position data correspond to said at least one position within said predetermined area, if said approaching aircraft is expected or not at the stand, the processor being arranged to decide to stop said approaching aircraft, to let said approaching aircraft approach the stand, or to relocate said approaching aircraft to another location, wherein said decision is based on the received data, and the processor being arranged to transmit said decision to a display and instruct the display to display a notification if said approaching aircraft is not expected at the stand, wherein the processor being arranged to instruct the display to display a notification selected from one of; an indication to stop said approaching aircraft, an indication to approach the stand, or an indication to relocate said approaching aircraft to another location. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
