DEVICE FOR DETECTING A VEHICLE ON AN AIRPORT RUNWAY
First Claim
1. A device for the detection of a vehicle, particularly of an aircraft, on a runway of an airport, particularly on a take-off or landing strip, on a taxi runway or on the ramp, having at least one radar sensor arranged in the field of the runway, that is configured with a radar beam for scanning a spatial detection field, wherein the detection field has two lobe-shaped partial fields extending horizontally over the runway and transverse to the driving direction of the vehicle, and that the radar sensor is configured for scanning the detection field using microwaves.

Abstract
The invention relates to a device (10) for detecting a vehicle, especially an aircraft (A), on an airport runway (R), especially a take-off or landing strip, a taxi strip or in the ramp region, said device comprising at least one radar sensor (11) which is arranged in the region of the runway (R) and used to scan a spatial detection region (E) by means of a radar beam. The fact that the detection region (E) comprises two lobe-shaped partial regions (E1, E2) extending horizontally over the runway (R) and transversally to the direction of travel (V) of the vehicle (A), and the radar sensor (11) is designed to scan the detection region (E) by means of microwaves, enables vehicles moving on runways to be detected with higher measuring precision, higher sensor reliability and using a robust measuring principle.
