Abstract
A-SMGCS is a modular system defined in the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) Manual on Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS) .One of A-SMGCS goals is to provide enhanced safety and protection of the runway. This paper presents a novel runway incursion detection approach for A-SMGCS, in which a multiple protected area is proposed to decrease complexity of pre-treatment for incursion judgment, and a flight status machine is designed to specify the transitions of one flight from one target status to another. Additionally, an HMI (Human Machine Interface) independently developed by the Second Research Institute of CAAC (Civil Aviation Administration of China) was designed in order to validate the runway incursion detection approach, the result shows that the algorithm has the potential to significantly improve runway safety by early detection and alerting of runway incursions.
Highlights
With the increasing demand for air transport all over the world, pressure is growing for airport systems to safely handle greater capacity in all weather conditions, improve traffic distribution and management, maximize use of existing infrastructure and so on [1].The number of accidents and incidents during airport surface movements, including runway incursions, is increasing
The hazards and risks associated with runway operations need to be managed in order to prevent runway incursions that may lead to accidents
Runway Incursion defined in A-SMGCS is as follows: Any occurrence at an aerodrome involving the incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle or person on the protected area of a surface designated for the landing and take-off of aircraft [5]
Summary
With the increasing demand for air transport all over the world, pressure is growing for airport systems to safely handle greater capacity in all weather conditions, improve traffic distribution and management, maximize use of existing infrastructure and so on [1].The number of accidents and incidents during airport surface movements, including runway incursions, is increasing. The hazards and risks associated with runway operations need to be managed in order to prevent runway incursions that may lead to accidents. Runway incursions have sometimes led to serious accidents with significant loss of life. They are not a new problem, with increasing air traffic, runway incursions have been on the rise. Due to specific characteristics of different runways on different airports, it is too difficult to set up a model with the potential to be used at airports worldwide
