Abstract
Foreign object debris (FOD) on runway pose
potential hazard to safety of the aircraft. This hazard can lead
from minor incident to fatal accident. A successful foreign object
detection (FOD) can be attained with effective Safety Management
System (SMS). According to aviation authorities FAA (Federal
Aviation Authority) and National Aeronautics and Space
Administration’s (NASA) guidelines, a safety and security
protocol for debris detection and elimination must be followed to
control foreign object debris related damages. The SMS
programme need 24/7 surveillance of debris sensitive areas to
detect and eliminate them in any weather condition. This article
presents a study of proposed method for foreign object detection
and alert system based on hardware such as (LiDAR,
Microprocessor) and software to locate debris location for
elimination. In lab conditions experimental work proved
suitability of proposed method to detect location (coordinate)
debris of various sizes and activate alarm to generate alert for
airport SMS staff member.
