System for improvement of helicopter safety during landing and take-off in an unknown terrain
Provider: Technologická agentura České republiky
Programme: Udržitelný rozvoj dopravy (počátek řešení 2013)
Implementation period: 01.01.13 - 31.12.15
Workplace:
Fakulta elektrotechniky a informatiky - Katedra elektroniky a rádiových systémů
Investigator: Bezoušek Pavel
Description:
The objective of this project is to increase the helicopter safety duting landing and take-off phases, especially when landing in an unknown and potentially dangerous environment and in poor visibility. To achieve this objective, the project is about to develop a system that is able to detect a wide arrray of obstacles in the vicinity of the helicopter. If the system evaluates a real risk of collision with an obstacle, the system will provide the pilots with an appropriate audio or visual alert to help the crew to avoid the collision.
