About

Alexander Zouhar is a leading researcher in advanced sensor-based surveillance systems, with a primary focus on enhancing airport ground operations through cutting-edge LiDAR technology. His most cited work, "Performance Evaluation of LiDAR Point Clouds towards Automated FOD Detection on Airport Aprons" (2015, 16 citations), represents a pivotal contribution to aviation safety. In this study, Zouhar pioneered the use of 3D point clouds from actively scanning LiDAR systems to automate the detection of Foreign Object Debris (FOD) on airport aprons—a critical challenge for real-time ground control under A-SMGCS and Remote Tower concepts. By demonstrating how LiDAR-generated point clouds can provide complete, independent surveillance coverage, his research directly addresses the limitations of current manual inspection methods. This work has laid essential groundwork for integrating autonomous sensing into airport operations, improving both efficiency and safety. Zouhar’s achievements highlight his expertise in sensor fusion, 3D data processing, and applied automation, making his research highly relevant for students and engineers working on next-generation aviation infrastructure and intelligent transportation systems.
