Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems for aircraft taxi route generation are described herein. One device includes a memory, and a processor to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to receive a routing plan request for an aircraft, generate, in response to receiving the routing plan request, a taxi route for the aircraft through an airfield of an airport using a rule engine, and transmit the taxi route to the aircraft, and a user interface to display a map of the airfield and the taxi route on the map of the airfield.
Claims20
A computing device for aircraft taxi route generation, comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to:
- receive a routing plan request for an aircraft;
- generate, in response to receiving the routing plan request, a taxi route for the aircraft through an airfield of an airport using a rule engine;
- and
- transmit the taxi route to the aircraft;
- and
- a user interface configured to display:
- a map of the airfield;
- and
- the taxi route on the map of the airfield.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon that are executable by a processor to:
- receive a routing plan request for an aircraft;
- generate, in response to receiving the routing plan request, a taxi route for the aircraft through an airfield of an airport using a rule engine, wherein the taxi route includes a start point on the airfield, an end point on the airfield, and a path between the start point and the end point;
- generate, in response to receiving a taxi route modification input, a modified taxi route for the aircraft through the airfield;
- and
- display the taxi route for the aircraft and the modified taxi route for the aircraft on a user interface.
A method for aircraft taxi route generation, comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, a routing plan request for an aircraft;
- generating, by the computing device in response to receiving the routing plan request, a taxi route for the aircraft through an airfield of an airport using a rule engine, wherein:
- the taxi route includes a start point on the airfield, an end point on the airfield, and a path between the start point and the end point;
- and
- the rule engine includes a number of predetermined rules based on aircraft attributes corresponding to a number of types of aircraft and airport attributes;
- generating, by the computing device in response to receiving a taxi route modification input, a modified taxi route for the aircraft through the airfield;
- and
- displaying, on a user interface, the taxi route for the aircraft and the modified taxi route for the aircraft.
