The ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter) is a device used to locate an aircraft in an emergency situation, such as an accident, in order to facilitate search and rescue efforts. Conventional ELT devices have two triggering methods, namely automatic triggering when crash acceleration is reached and manual triggering when a button on the control panel is pressed. This paper proposes an ELT triggering device based on fingerprint collection technology. By integrating the fingerprint collection device into the control button and cross-linking it with the on-board data link, the fingerprint of the triggering person is collected, stored, and compared, so as to make a judgement or seek evidence, which effectively solves the problem of false triggering of traditional triggering devices and provides a basis for subsequent investigation of emergency situations. Experiments and use case study validate the usefulness of this new device.
