Manual Control Board

The Manual Control Board provides the means for local input of expected
aircraft type, as well as a display of current system status. The user-friendly LCD
display control board can be integrated into a boarding bridge's control panel or
located in separate waterproof housing. The unit also contains an emergency stop
button for local control.

Central Docking Computer
The Central Docking Computer is the hub of a Docking Station installation.
This computer controls information for individual docking stations, exchanges
data with the Airport Information System (A1S), and records local log files
including docking station procedure data. The computer also automatically regis-
ters ONBLOCK and OFFBLOCK times for aircraft, providing a record for later
analysis.

System Features
• E-STOP Rejection of non-scheduled aircraft types
• Shared control of two maneuvering guidance lines within the view of
one camera
The Central Docking Computer
• ONBLOCK and OFFBLOCK times are automatically registered uses a touch-screen interface
• Log book recording of system reports, including the docking procedure data for easy operation.
• Operator tools to change stop points and aircraft types

Options
• Curved guidance lines
• Constant video monitoring of the docking area, with a capability to archive
video for playback
• Additional pilot displays and manual control boards can be placed at
individual gates
• Turbo-Prop aircraft, additional aircraft types
• Transmit aircraft position while docking to an ASMGCS system
• Integration of image processor into pilot's display unit
• Use of text display for Ramp Information Display System (RIDS) An optional video surveillance
