Description
An object is detected 34.0 meters from the Safedock, in the approximate
position of the X, in reference to the centreline.
The message APRON BLOCK and WAIT alternates in the Pilot Display
and APRON BLOCK Object at 34 m appears on the Operator Panel.
9.1.2
Operation during Capture
During capture mode, the system is waiting for the aircraft to arrive and it shows the
Welcome in
screen in the Pilot Display. During this period, the defined area will be
scanned with a lower scanning rate, as the main focus now is to detect an incoming
aircraft. If an object is detected, this is communicated in the same way as the initial
scan.
Operator Panel example
There are two different options available in the Operator
Panel:
Shut Down
: Press the softkey to shut down the docking.
Accept
: Press the softkey to accept the detected object
and abort the scan for the docking sequence to start
without any further scan being performed.

APRON SCAN SPECIFICATIONS
9.2.3
Scan area
The areas where the apron scan functionality is available for use are defined as: the
Primary scanning area and the Secondary scanning area.
During operation, the area being scanned corresponds the area from the nose
position of the expected aircraft type when parked and further out. The boundaries
from the stop position and further out, length and width are defined in the Safedock
Maintenance Tool per configured centreline.
The minimum detection distance is twice the laser height. For example, for a laser
installed at 6 meters above ground this will be equal to a minimum detection distance
of 12 meters. Objects closer than the minimum detection distance cannot be detected.
The primary scanning area is defined by the minimum detection point and the by
maximum recommended stop position with +- 30° from Safedock center of view.
