Problem
Ground accidents involving aircraft and ground service equipment pose a significant risk in aviation, leading to billions of dollars in damages, operational inefficiencies, and potential delays. Current manual processes and a lack of real-time data contribute to these incidents, with most damages not covered by insurance. Insufficient data coverage and manual data collection further hinder efforts to improve ground safety and operational efficiency.
Solution
Evitado offers ELVIZ, a plug-and-play collision avoidance system designed to mitigate the risk of ground collisions and enhance safety in airside operations. ELVIZ utilizes LiDAR technology to provide real-time 3D scanning and accurate collision warnings for aircraft and ground service equipment. The system can be attached to an aircraft fuselage or ground service equipment, scanning the surrounding area in 3D and 360 degrees with high precision. Real-time data processing triggers immediate warnings to the operator through sounds, flashing lights, and a customizable user interface, reducing ground collisions by over 90%.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes airports, airlines, ground handling service providers, and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facilities seeking to improve airside safety and operational efficiency.
