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.
