Abstract: Vertical alignment of a movable bridge with a doorway of an aircraft is achieved by moving a sensor disposed on the movable bridge in a generally downward direction so as to sense a position of an upper surface of the aircraft. The upper surface of the aircraft has a known elevational relationship relative to the doorway of the aircraft, which is used along with the sensed position to align an aircraft engaging portion of the movable bridge with the doorway. The method accommodates different heights of a same model of aircraft resulting from differences in the aircraft loads and is easily implemented using either contact or non-contact sensors.

Abstract translation: 可移动桥与飞机门口的垂直对准是通过以大致向下的方向移动设置在可移动桥上的传感器来实现的，以便感测飞行器的上表面的位置。 飞行器的上表面相对于飞机的门口具有已知的高度关系，其与所感测的位置一起使用以将可移动桥的飞机接合部分与门口对准。 该方法适应飞机负载差异导致的相同型号飞机的不同高度，并且可以使用接触式或非接触式传感器轻松实现。
