Abstract

Accurate monitoring of ground vehicle and aircraft movement in the airport airside is essential to reduce the risk of incidents caused by limited coordination between controllers, pilots, and ground operators. This study proposes the design of a ground movement tracking system for airside operations, utilizing a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) module (Matek M10Q-5883) and a Long Range (LoRa) communication module (LILYGO ESP32), integrated with a web dashboard for real-time visualization. The system was developed using the Waterfall methodology, covering requirement analysis, system design, hardware and software implementation, and performance testing in simulated airside conditions. Experimental results show that the system achieved an average coordinate deviation of only 0.000017º equivalent to about 1.7 meters  compared to a reference device, and maintained reliable data transmission up to 1.4 km under line-of-sight conditions. These findings demonstrate that the proposed system provides accurate and stable monitoring of ground movements, offering a cost-efficient and weather-independent alternative to GSM-based solutions. In addition, by optimizing LoRa parameters, the system successfully extended its communication range beyond the ~1 km typically reported in related studies, highlighting its novelty and contribution to enhanced safety in airport operations.

Abstract

The Doppler VHF Omnidirectional Range (DVOR) is a critical air navigation system that provides aircraft with azimuth information based on the Doppler effect. Monitoring of DVOR transmitter status at many facilities still relies on manual inspection or direct on-site intervention. This study designed and implemented a real-time DVOR status monitoring system in LabVIEW, integrated with RS-232 serial communication, and tested it on a THALES 432 DVOR at the CNS Laboratory of Politeknik Penerbangan Indonesia Curug. The system acquires serial data, parses the 5th byte of each data frame to classify the equipment status as Normal, Warning, or Alarm, and displays the results via color-coded LED indicators and a Waveform Chart, while logging timestamped records to an Excel file. Five functional tests across all three status conditions produced results fully consistent with the DVOR RCMS reference display, confirming the system's accuracy and reliability for real-time DVOR status monitoring.
