Street Lighting Design and Management Using Solar Cells Along The Perimeter Inspection Road At Binaka Gunungsitoli Airport

Abstract

Airports play an important role in the transportation system, connecting flights with land transportation and supporting the global economy. Flight safety is a top priority, and one important aspect to ensure it is optimizing the perimeter in the airport airside area. The perimeter is the boundary of land or territory under the control of the airport. This boundary surrounds the airport area. At Binaka Gunungsitoli Airport, there is no lighting on the Perimeter Inspection Road, this can cause major problems for officers who want to patrol at night. So, there are several ways that can be done, namely by installing streetlights using solar cells. This study uses primary data, data in the form of observations and direct interviews with Binaka Gunungsitoli aviation security personnel. In this study, it was found that many factors caused the security function in the Perimeter Street lighting of Runway 09 and Runway 27 of Binaka Gunungsitoli Airport to not be optimal, thus affecting the safety of ongoing flights, so that security on the perimeter of Runway 09 and Runway 27 is controlled, thus supporting flight safety until the implementation of safe, smooth, comfortable, effective flight operations. Therefore, Binaka Gunungsitoli Airport installed Perimeter streetlights, to comply with standard operational procedures.
