On The Road To Safer Skies: Airbus Tests Next-Gen Tech For Smarter Taxiing And Enhanced Flight Safety
Airbus SE (OTC:EADSY) is showcasing its Optimate demonstrator vehicle at VivaTech, Europe's largest technology event, aiming to enhance airport safety.
空中客車股份公司（場外交易代碼：EADSY）將在歐洲最大的技術盛會VivaTech上展示其Optimate演示車，旨在增強機場安全。
The converted electric truck, fitted with basic A350 airliner controls, demonstrates how automated taxiing could mitigate ground collision risks, reported Reuters.
路透社報道，改裝後的電動卡車配備了基本的A350客機控制系統，展示了自動滑行如何減輕地面碰撞風險。
"Our ambition is to use the best technologies to make our aircraft even more aware of their operating conditions, analysing it in as much detail as possible to become smart and reliable assistants to pilots, providing them with the optimal assistance. We are confident that this project will contribute to safer and more efficient air travel," said Michael Augello, CEO Airbus UpNext.
“我們的目標是使用最好的技術使我們的飛機更加了解其運行狀況，儘可能詳細地對其進行分析，成爲飛行員的智能可靠助手，爲他們提供最佳的協助。我們相信，該項目將有助於更安全、更高效的航空旅行。” 空中客車UpNext首席執行官邁克爾·奧格洛說。

The truck can be operated manually or controlled by aircraft systems, with sensors tracking warning lines and obstacles to navigate to specific locations.
卡車可以手動操作或由飛機系統控制，傳感器跟蹤警告線和障礙物，導航到特定位置。
Airbus refrains from linking its research to specific incidents, but comparisons are drawn to a recent collision in Tokyo involving a landing A350 and a coast guard plane, the report mentioned.
報告提到，空中客車公司沒有將其研究與具體事件聯繫起來，但可以與最近在東京發生的涉及A350降落和海岸警衛隊飛機的碰撞進行了比較。
Similar ground collisions include a Virgin Atlantic jet hitting a British Airways plane and two JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:JBLU) planes colliding at Boston Logan, both currently under regulatory review.
類似的地面碰撞包括一架維珍大西洋噴氣式飛機撞上英國航空公司的飛機，以及兩架捷藍航空公司（納斯達克股票代碼：JBLU）飛機在波士頓洛根相撞，兩架飛機目前都在監管審查中。
Airbus hopes the demonstration at VivaTech will illustrate how automation can maneuver large jets through crowded airports safely.
空中客車公司希望VivaTech的演示能夠說明自動化如何安全地操縱大型噴氣式飛機穿越擁擠的機場。

The report specified that these low-speed ramp incidents, though rarely fatal, are increasingly costly and disruptive for airlines and passengers. The hybrid research platform, developed in collaboration with Israeli electric vehicle maker Ree Automotive Ltd (NASDAQ:REE), is part of a three-year "Optimate" project.
該報告指出，這些低速坡道事故雖然很少致命，但對航空公司和乘客的代價越來越高，破壞性也越來越大。混合動力研究平台是與以色列電動汽車製造商瑞汽車有限公司（納斯達克股票代碼：REE）合作開發的，是爲期三年 “Optimate” 項目的一部分。
The truck will undergo testing at live airports, potentially leading to further tests on an A350-1000 aircraft.
這輛卡車將在現場機場接受測試，這可能會導致對 A350-1000 飛機進行進一步測試。
Despite the challenges of certifying new systems, Airbus stresses that pilots will continue to play a crucial role, with automation designed to reduce pilot error but not fully autonomous.
儘管認證新系統面臨挑戰，但空中客車公司強調飛行員將繼續發揮至關重要的作用，自動化旨在減少飛行員的失誤，但不能完全自主。
