Implementação e análise de desempenho de um sistema single board para monitoramento aéreo

Abstract

Worldwide air traffic is growing and ADS-B technology has proven to be an important tool to ensure the operation of this sector. However, most devices are still proprietary and very expensive. This scenario imposes limitations on the adoption of ADS-B technology by different types of users, such as small and medium sized airports, research groups, and other citizens interested in aerial monitoring activities. Thus, in order to provide a more accessible solution to different types of users, this work implemented an open source ADS-B technology-based aerial monitoring system applied to a single board hardware platform, which has lower costs, although it has higher limitations of computational resources. Also, a performance analysis of the developed system was performed, comparing its results with those of other aerial monitoring software and those of a general purpose hardware platform. It was observed that the implemented system presented as good results in the single board platform as in the general purpose.
