Abstract

An Arduino-powered Digital Distance Measurement System with LCD Display a compact and precise solution presents a practical and portable digital distance measurement system utilizing the versatility of Arduino microcontrollers and the accuracy of ultrasonic sensors. This system can be utilised for airplane docking system which measures the distance exactly. Leveraging Arduino’s programming capabilities and readily available libraries, the system transmits ultrasonic pulses and analyses the reflected echoes to calculate real-time distances displayed on a user-friendly LCD screen. This non-contact approach eliminates physical barriers and minimizes potential errors, making it suitable for various applications including robotics, obstacle detection, and industrial automation especially it can be also be utilised for applications like airplane docking system which avoids collision. The compact and cost-effective design offers high portability and accessibility for enthusiasts and professional applications like airplane docking system. Additionally, the modular nature of the system allows for further customization and integration with other sensors or actuators, expanding its potential functionalities. These concise abstract highlights the key aspects of the work, Arduino platform, ultrasonic sensor technology, LCD display integration, distance measurement principle, non-contact operation, portability, and customization potential. The proposed system is a perfect technology for placing the airplane in the exact location even without few centimetres away from the located place for aerial refuelling or other usage too. The results were accurate in measuring the distance contactless, the measurement was cross checked with manually by using a scale and is found to be matching accurately.

Keywords: Vehicle, digital distance measurement, airplane, docking system, arduino, ultrasonic sensor, non-contact sensing, aerial refuelling.
