Intelligent control and unmanned driving - the development direction of aircraft tractors

2023-05-30 16:31:33

At present, in the world, most of the aircraft tractors are completed by one or two people. In the process of vehicle operation, there is not only the possibility of personnel misoperation, but also high requirements for operators. Therefore, from the perspective of future development, the use of intelligent control for airport special vehicles will become the mainstream of technology in the future.

Aircraft tractors use sensors, CAN bus and other technologies to effectively monitor the status of the vehicle and improve the efficiency of the vehicle. The aircraft tractor will be designed as a highly integrated intelligent product of machinery, electricity, hydraulics, and gas, and its intelligence will become higher and higher. In terms of unmanned driving technology, after the plane lands, it will be automatically towed to the bridge by the unmanned aircraft tractor. When the plane leaves the apron, it will be directly sent to the runway by the unmanned vehicle. The study was made possible through the cooperation of the aircraft manufacturer, the aircraft tractor manufacturer and the government.


At present, in the world, German companies have started research in this area under the coordination of the government. It is expected that in the future, unmanned aircraft tractors will also become the research direction of manufacturers. As a manufacturer of airport equipment, LTMG will also speed up technological innovation and bring it into line with international standards.
