Designed as a class project for the ACRP's University Design Competition.
In our interview with the retired pilot, we identified a problem in communications between the ATC operators and pilots due to the high-pressure nature of the situation and possible difficulties understanding different accents of the language.
This project takes on this challenge by presenting a distributed system for ATC-airplane system. The main idea is for ATC to advertise its presence, playing a role of a "Peripheral" device. Airplanes serve as "Central" devices, and are able to request a connection to the ATC tower to start the communication.
For our prototype we used 3 iOS devices, leveraging Core Bluetooth stack for wireless communication.
