DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN AIRCRAFT PARKING DETECTOR (BLOCK ON/OFF) TO DETERMINE THE USAGE TIME OF PARKING STANDS AT PT. ANGKASA PURA I JUANDA SURABAYA

Abstract

This research focuses on the design and development of an aircraft parking detector (Block On/Off) aimed at determining the usage time of parking stands at PT. Angkasa Pura I Juanda Surabaya. Utilizing ultrasonic sensors and the NodeMCU ESP32, the system is engineered to detect the presence of aircraft in real-time. The primary goal is to enhance operational efficiency and management at the airport by providing immediate and accurate information regarding the usage of parking stands. The system's design ensures high accuracy in aircraft detection, enabling quick and precise data dissemination. The development process involved extensive testing to ensure the system's reliability and effectiveness. Results indicate that the parking detector performs well under various conditions, maintaining consistent accuracy in real-time detection. This innovative approach to parking management not only optimizes the use of parking stands but also contributes to smoother airport operations, reducing delays and improving overall service quality. The integration of this technology at PT. Angkasa Pura I Juanda Surabaya showcases a significant step forward in leveraging modern technology for better airport management.
