Abstract: A system for aligning an aircraft-engaging end of a passenger boarding bridge to a doorway along a lateral surface of an aircraft includes a user interface that is located aboard the aircraft. The user interface is for receiving, from a user aboard the aircraft, an input signal relating to a command for controlling a movement of the passenger boarding bridge, and for providing data relating to the input signal. The system also includes a first transmitter that is located aboard the aircraft and that is in communication with the user interface. The first transmitter is for receiving the data relating to the input signal and for transmitting a first signal including the data relating to the input signal. A first receiver is provided at a location that is remote from the aircraft for receiving the first signal, and for providing an output signal relating thereto. Also provided is a bridge controller that is in communication with the first receiver for receiving the output signal from the first receiver, and for providing a control signal for performing automatically the movement of the passenger boarding bridge.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and controller for controlling power allocation in an overdemand situation of at least a passenger loading bridge. A requested amount of power and an amount of power available are determined. The amount of power available and less than the amount of power required is then apportioned on a prioritized basis amongst systems of the at least a passenger loading bridge demanding power to result in a load of the at least a passenger loading bridge requiring no more than the power available and to provide sufficient power to account for one of minimum requirements, operational requirements and ideal requirements for each system based on an operational mode of the at least a passenger loading bridge. The amount of power for provision to each system is determined in dependence upon a priority of the system for the operation of the at least a passenger loading bridge in a predetermined mode of operation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for aligning a door of an aircraft to a passenger loading bridge. A final parking position of the aircraft is defined as being immediately adjacent to a position of the passenger loading bridge, such that when the aircraft is stopped at the final parking position, the passenger loading bridge requires only a telescopic extension of less than about 1 meter to complete the alignment operation. To this end, an indicating device that works cooperatively with an aircraft-engaging end of the passenger loading bridge is provided for displaying human intelligible instructions for use by a pilot of the aircraft to guide the aircraft to the final parking position.

Abstract: A cab for a commercial aircraft passenger boarding bridge includes a passageway having a floor, a ceiling opposing the floor, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall opposing the first sidewall. A second frame is coupled to the first sidewall and a first frame is coupled to at least one of the floor, the ceiling, and the second sidewall. At least one of the first and second frames are for being attached to the walkway opposite end in a manner to support lateral movement of the second frame relative to the walkway opposite end and relative to the first frame, so as to permit lateral movement of the first sidewall relative to the at least one of the floor, the ceiling, and the second sidewall.
