Airfield lighting simulation
Airfield lighting simulation. Researchers testing an embedded computer system that operates lights in a model airfield. Embedded systems combine computer software and hardware specifically to perform a dedicated function. One requirement of such systems is that they are fail-safe. Therefore, situations in which the technology will be used are simulated to test its effectiveness. The functioning of all lights on the airfield and the location of all planes is monitored by specially networked computers. A typical airfield has several thousand signal lamps. In this simulation they are replaced by light emitting diodes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases researchers testing an embedded computer system that controls the lighting in a model airfield. Embedded systems are designed to combine software and hardware to perform specific functions, and one crucial requirement is their fail-safe nature. To ensure its effectiveness, simulations of real-life scenarios where this technology will be utilized are conducted. Specially networked computers monitor the functioning of all lights on the airfield as well as track the location of every plane. Traditionally, a typical airfield would have thousands of signal lamps, but in this simulation, they have been replaced by light emitting diodes (LEDs). This cutting-edge technology not only enhances safety but also provides precise control over runway lighting. The image features a male technician at work in an airport-like setting. The attention to detail is evident as he meticulously monitors and adjusts the simulated lighting system using Siemens equipment. Every aspect of this miniature airfield has been replicated with utmost accuracy - from the models of planes to the intricate control panel. Transportation enthusiasts and aviation professionals alike will appreciate this remarkable display of technological advancement within the field. It serves as a reminder that behind every successful flight lies meticulous planning, innovative hardware and software integration, and unwavering dedication towards ensuring fail-safe operations for our skies.
