Abstract

Construction of a new road has been planned in the approach area of Tivat Airport in Montenegro. The route of the new road collides with the existing approach lights of the airport, which are part of the lighting system for the safe landing of aircraft. This paper presents a solution for collision issues using modelling methods. The initial hypothesis was confirmed at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Zagreb University of Applied Sciences, and is based on scientific Elaborations using the Image-Based Lighting Model. The model analyses and processes the airport approach light plane and approximates it using an image of global illumination (Global Illumination Model). The large-source light image model is applicable to airport approach lighting systems that are viewed as separate entities. The modelling parameters include legislative requirements for: a) road traffic safety, b) air traffic safety at the airport for both the existing and newly designed state, c) the approach lights and d) the access road. A detailed study using project solutions (both available and new projects) and the existing state of the airport approach lighting system was conducted. The conclusion is the synthesis of all safety restrictions, which solved the collision problems between the new road and the existing airport approach lighting pillars.
