System and method for damage tracking and monitoring during ground handling of aircraft
First Claim
1. A system for damage tracking and monitoring during ground handling of aircraft, comprising:
- a ground service communication network configured to transmit communication data between ground support equipment (GSE) and aircraft;
a database configured to store configuration data and status data of GSE and aircraft; and
a computer-based system configured to communicate with the ground service communication network and the database;
wherein the computer-based system is configured to update the configuration data and the status data of GSE and aircraft stored in the database on basis of communication data received from the ground service communication network; and
wherein the computer-based system is configured to estimate a damage source among the GSE for a damage inflicted on the aircraft by one of the GSE by correlating damage characteristics of the damage with the configuration data and the status data from the database.

Abstract
A system for damage tracking and monitoring during ground handling of aircraft includes a ground service communication network configured to transmit communication data between ground support equipment, GSE, and aircraft; a database configured to store configuration data and status data of GSE and aircraft; and a computer-based system configured to communicate with the ground service communication network and the database. The computer-based system is configured to update the configuration data and the status data of GSE and aircraft stored in the database on basis of communication data received from the ground service communication network. The computer-based system is further configured to estimate a damage source among the GSE for a damage inflicted on the aircraft by one of the GSE by correlating damage characteristics of the damage with the configuration data and the status data from the database.

16. A system for damage tracking and monitoring during ground handling of aircraft, comprising:
-
a ground service communication network configured to transmit communication data between ground support equipment (GSE) and aircraft; a database configured to store configuration data and status data of GSE and aircraft; and a computer-based system configured to communicate with the ground service communication network and the database; wherein the computer-based system is configured to update the configuration data and the status data of GSE and aircraft stored in the database on basis of communication data received from the ground service communication network; wherein the computer-based system is configured to estimate a damage source among the GSE for a damage inflicted on the aircraft by one of the GSE by correlating damage characteristics of the damage with the configuration data and the status data from the database; and a damage detection system configured to detect damage inflicted on aircraft and to provide damage characteristics of the detected damage, wherein the computer-based system is further configured to communicate with the damage detection system and to estimate a damage source among the GSE for a damage detected by the damage detection system by correlating damage characteristics of the detected damage provided by the damage detection system with the configuration data and the status data from the database. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
