Summary of Reliability Analysis Methods of Remote Tower System

Abstract

Abstract The remote tower technology can provide remote control services for small airports in remote areas with low passenger and cargo throughput[2].In the 1990s, European and American countries began the research and development of remote towers. In 2015, Sweden’s Sundsval Airport approved the use of remote tower operations. In 2019, China Xinjiang Airport Group started the remote tower pilot construction. As a new thing, the remote tower system is different from the traditional tower, and its safety and reliability have not been systematically studied in China. This article introduces several methods that can be used to analyze the reliability of the remote tower system in detail. These methods are analyzed and compared. Finally, this article summarizes the methods applicable to the reliability analysis of China’s remote tower system.
