METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PREVENTING COLLISIONS ON THE GROUND FOR AIRCRAFT
First Claim
1. Method for determining a risk of collision on the ground in an aircraft, the said aircraft comprising at least one proximity detector, at least one warning device and a communication system comprising a plurality of access points, the said communication system being suitable for setting up a communication between the access points of each pair of access points of the said plurality of access points, this method being characterized in that it comprises the following steps,receipt of at least one indication from the said proximity detector relating to the presence of an object;
- generation of at least one signal representing an alarm linked to the detection of the said object; and
,transmission of the said alarm to the said at least one warning device via the said communication system, the said at least one warning device being connected up to an access point of the said plurality of access points.

Abstract
The invention has as its object to determine a risk of collision on the ground between an aircraft and another object. The aircraft comprises at least one proximity detector and a communication system suitable for setting up a communication among several points, at least one of the points being able to be external to the aircraft. After having received at least one indication from the proximity detector relating to the presence of an object, a signal representing an acoustic alarm linked to the detection of the object is generated then transmitted to the warning system. A comparison advantageously is made between the indication received from the proximity detector and certain parameters of the aircraft, the signal representing an acoustic alarm linked to the detection of the object being generated in response to the result of this comparison.
