A method for docking a boarding bridge with an aircraft, an electronic equipment and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: planning a path from a position at which a bridgehead is located when the boarding bridge is at a parking position to a pre-docking position which is 1 to 2 meters away from a cabin door of the aircraft, driving the boarding bridge to move the bridgehead towards the pre-docking position along the path until the bridgehead moves to a position within 2 meters away from the pre-docking position; acquiring an aircraft image of the aircraft, obtaining a spatial position of the cabin door according to the aircraft image, and moving the boarding bridge according to the spatial position to enable the bridgehead to dock with the cabin door.

Passenger bridge (100), comprising a proximal end (110), comprising a passenger passage opening (111); a distal end (120), comprising a bridge head (121); at least one first bridge segments (130), a proximal one (131) of which comprises, at the said proximal end (110), said passenger passage opening (111); at least one second segments (140), a distal one (142) of which comprises, at said distal end (120), the bridge head (121); a first support structure (150), arranged to support said first (130) and second (140) bridge segments so that at least one of said first segments (130) and at least one of said second segments (140) can be individually tilted; whereby the said first (130) and second (140) bridge segments together form a connected passage way for passengers between the proximal (110) and distal (120) ends, allowing the bridge head (121) to move vertically in relation the proximal end (110) by said bridge segments (130,140) tilting; characterised in that the length of the distal second bridge segment (142) can be telescopably adjusted, thereby moving the bridge head (121) horizontally in relation to the proximal end (110), and in that the passenger bridge (100) further comprises a second support structure (160), supporting the distal end (120) and being individually horizontally movable in relation to the first support structure (150).

A passenger boarding bridge is capable of avoiding docking by backward travel of travel wheels. The passenger boarding bridge includes: a rotunda connected to a terminal building and supported to be rotatable horizontally; a tunnel unit, whose proximal end is connected to the rotunda, that is extendable and retractable; a cab provided at a distal end of the tunnel unit and configured to be docked with an aircraft; travel wheels supporting the tunnel unit and configured to travel forward and backward in changeable directions; an operating device that is operated to input an operation command to the travel wheels; and a determiner configured to repeatedly perform determination whether or not the current direction of the forward travel of the travel wheels is within a predetermined range during a period from when the cab starts being moved from a predetermined position until the cab is docked with the aircraft.

Provided is a system for performing an automatic inspection of a passenger boarding bridge in improved coordination with persons, such as workers. The passenger boarding bridge is connected to a terminal building, and includes a plurality of devices that are operatable. The system includes: a notifier provided on the passenger boarding bridge; and a controller configured to control each of the devices and the notifier. The controller is configured to: when an inspection start command is inputted to the controller, perform an operation test of each of the devices in a predetermined order to detect abnormality in each device; and during a period from when the inspection start command is inputted to the controller until the operation test of a last device among the devices is ended, cause the notifier to notify operation test-related information inside and/or outside the passenger boarding bridge.
