The increase in the number of aircraft and wildlife populations in recent years has brought about an increase in the number of wildlife aircraft strikes. These strikes result in damage to aircraft, financial loss, flight traffic disturbance, reduction in passengers' confidence in air travel, and more importantly human lives are put at risk. Several dispersal methods (chemical, auditory, and visual) have been used to keep wildlife away from the airport region, but none of these methods have achieved the desired success yet. Studies are still continuing to increase the efficiency of lasers and the application method, which is one of these systems. In this study, the effects of birds on air transportation are investigated and the success level of the dispersal actions performed by using laser technology to mitigate those effects is examined. The aim of this research is to determine the most effective laser wavelength in different laser fluence and weather conditions taking eye safety, and aviation sector expectations for safer aviation into account. During the study, lasers with 4 different wavelengths were used and the avoidance or dispersal response effects of these lasers in various weather conditions and bird species were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, without damaging the human eye, the most effective wavelength has been determined as 532 nm for the dispersal of wildlife. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
