Access control with automated on duty notification tool in air traffic services

Abstract

This project provides a solution that alerts management if an Air Traffic Service Unit (ATSU) tower is unmanned during operational hours. The project makes provision for an access control with an automated on duty notification tool. The Air traffic controller activates a report for the on-duty system real time when he accesses the tower. The control system is used to send notification to the line management if the air traffic control tower is unmanned at any time. Escalation to the next level management occurs automatically every 15 minutes if the tower is unmanned until it reaches the senior management of the air traffic services. The project is modelled in Proteus software. The proteus software is interfaced to a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) module for communication as an automated notification tool.
