Abstract
Recent studies focused on the global airline industry predict a continuous growth of passenger numbers, which will stimulate an increased demand for modern sophisticated aircraft capable of precise operations at reduced separation minima. Automation systems, such as AutoTaxi, will allow for decreased ground separation standards and a subsequent increase of throughput at airports in metropolitan areas. This thesis deals with an AutoTaxi control system for a single-aisle passenger aircraft, such as Boeing 737 series, under different operational conditions. The implemented model considers varying runway characteristics due to the atmospheric conditions and different aircraft configurations. Detailed force and momentum equilibria analysis are presented in a form of equations of motion, which is essential in order to achieve high-precision simulation. The validation of the model was based on the turn radii comparison for multiple steering angles. Simulation results were subjected to a comparison with the analytical solution of the Ackerman drive for a tricycle vehicle and with turn radii specified in Airplane Characteristics for Airport Planning issued by Boeing. Obtained results confirm high-precision real-time simulation.
