Abstract :
Foreign Object Debris (FOD) on the runways or taxiways may damage airplanes and injure personnel in the airport. There are two main types of commercial FOD detection systems, i.e. Fixed and mobile. Nowadays, only one of these two main types of FOD detection systems is deployed in some airports. In this paper, we propose a total solution to support both of FOD detection system types based on Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport FOD prevention´s requirements, i.e. Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) based FOD detection system. In this paper, a novel FOD detection system architecture is proposed. Then we study the feasibility of MANET applied to the proposed FOD detection system. In this proposed MANET, Wi-Fi and IEEE 802.11 are introduced to physical and MAC layer of wireless node, OLSR is used to provide network routing function, in addition, a novel multi-path data fusion mechanism is proposed to decrease the packet loss ratio.
