Method of Exact Measurement and Calculation of Airport Road Visibility Range at Night

Abstract

Abstract:

As the exact measurement of airport road visibility range (RVR) is so difficult, a new method was proposed. A criterion lamp-house is set at proper range, and the minimum findable light intensity is manually observed, then the RVR at night is iteratively calculated. The new method is more elaborate than current ones, and its worked result is more appropriate for the true result. The reliability of the proposed method was verified by simulation experiment.

Key words: aviation meteorological service, road visibility range, meteorological optical range, exact measurement and calculation
