Abstract
Safety of aircraft is a major concern throughout the world. Aircraft accident is
caused as a result of mechanical/electrical failure, human error which may be as a result of
poor communication between the pilot and air traffic controller or as a result of
shortcoming of navigational aids equipment and/or error in radio communication. The air
traffic control system is a vast network of people and necessary navigational equipment that
ensures the safe operation of commercial and private aircraft throughout the world.
Successful taking off, cruising and landing of an aircraft depend on a good and reliable
flight data (Strip) which is used by Air Traffic Controller. Flight data is responsible for
separation of aircraft, prevention of collisions between aircrafts on the manoeuvring area
and maintenance of an orderly flow of air traffic. Every year, many Controllers lost their
life because of stress from the use of the existing tedious manual stripping.
Now that the air traffic control system in Aviation industry is moving towards total
radar coverage, whereby the modern aircrafts are having their own IP addresses, instrument
landing system and the control towers are networked together. With the numerous aircraft
accidents, there is a need for Internet based flight data to enhancing the performance of air
traffic controller and reduce the rate of aircraft accident. Therefore, in this research project,
a fuzzy logic model for air traffic control system is presented that is able to improve safety
of aircraft.
The model is developed and implemented using a web based application, apache as a web
server with PHP scripting language and MySQL, a relational database.
